Airlines like Ryanair and easyJet will be banned from hammering families with sneaky hidden costs after luring them into flying with low cost tickets under plans unveiled in the King's Speech.
It comes after Ryanair yesterday posted a 59 per cent jump in first-half earnings after record summer demand and higher prices offset rising fuel costs. King Charles III announced Rishi Sunak is to take action against 'drip pricing', where firms advertise a service for a price before adding on extra charges.
The changes are part of proposals worked up in Downing Street to tackle the cost-of-living crisis and are seen by Mr Sunak as a post-Brexit benefit.
