BBC Morning Live explains how to avoid unexpected airline charges

BBC Morning Live warned travellers about unexpected airline charges on 30 June 2026. Travel experts Ash Bhardwaj and Holly Hamilton appeared on the programme to explain how airlines are adding extra fees beyond the basic ticket price. One issue they discussed is that airlines are sending passengers to outside websites for help with travel documents. These third-party sites can charge money for services that passengers may not need to pay for. British Airways does this, but other airlines do too. Bhardwaj gave advice on how to avoid paying these unnecessary costs. If travellers know what to look for, they can save money when booking flights. The segment is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
