Hidden Charges (SLAPs)...

There has been much discussion recently about our so-called “hidden charges.” These charges are not, of course, “hidden” as all passengers are informed of them at some point.

Some of our competitors are sniffing around the idea of making passengers stand up, but we don’t think the safety-wowsers are going to go for it. So we searched, and found a better way.” * for us When questioned further about this new solution, Mr Coli said, “We were inspired by one of the greatest games of the computer age.
