Dear friends Steve & Mary have returned from living in Australia, and so we will visit them in the UK.\u00a0 To do this, I did my level best to try and find a cheap flight from Z\u00fcrich.\u00a0 \u201cCheap flight\u201d and Z\u00fcrich?\u00a0 Say it isn’t so?!<\/p>\n
It isn’t so.<\/p>\n
EasyJet advertised<\/strong> a low fare on their web site.\u00a0 Indeed it was fantastically low at CHF 312.27 for the three of us.\u00a0 And so I clicked on buy<\/strong>.\u00a0 But wait, not so fast.\u00a0 First we had to turn down travel insurance for 71.85\u00a0 CHF, and then we had to spend 108 CHF so we could check luggage (anyone with a kid checks luggage), bringing the total to 427.<\/p>\n But wait!\u00a0 Want seats?\u00a0 Forget it, but you can spend some extra bucks to get on the plane first.\u00a0 We didn’t.<\/p>\n But wait!\u00a0 That will be an extra 20 CHF for using your Mastercard over the web.\u00a0 Only a certain Visa (not all Visas) get you a break on that.<\/p>\n But wait!\u00a0 They didn’t even accept my Mastercard for reasons passing understanding (of myself or my card’s issuing bank).<\/p>\n So after all of that, we’re flying Swiss.\u00a0 819 CHF, but at least we can book them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear friends Steve & Mary have returned from living in Australia, and so we will visit them in the UK.\u00a0 To do this, I did my level best to try and find a cheap flight from Z\u00fcrich.\u00a0 \u201cCheap flight\u201d and Z\u00fcrich?\u00a0 Say it isn’t so?!
