United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I don't think they have. For as long as I can remember the base price for CuntyAir and co has been relatively cheap but the optional extras went from a similar price to almost double the cost of the base flight. This is over a good 20 or 25 years. So that tells me that they know people will still be suckered in by the cheap base flight and get stung with the extras so they maximise the revenue in that area. Charging to print a boarding pass is astronomical. They're just milking old people that can't use a mobile phone (and there are plenty). I don't think people have understood the model and I think Ryanshits knows this.
I mean, charging to print the pass is shit, but I'm sure it was written into the T&C's when they booked the flights somewhere. Again, if you're elderly and this stuff is an issue, book your flight with a provider who aren't looking to make an extra few bob on everything they can.
