They shouldn't charge extra but offer discounts. It is bait and switch if they are charging arbitrary fees. Ryan air is notorious is for this practice. Advertise a low-cost flight but after you go through the sales funnel, unless you have Visa Electron. You pay an extra 5%.

Which is at least more favourable to the customer than Easyjet's approach which is to tack a £16 ( $20 ) 'administration fee' onto each booking regardless of how one pays.

I don't have any love for Ryanair but recently booked with them because the ticket cost less than Easyjet's fixed fee.
