Transparency of online booking prices

At long last, the relevant govt agency, is taking action to improve the transparency of online booking prices.


Although the report of the Competition Commission (CCCS) refers to travel booking, the worst case of abuse is by budget airlines.

The prices that they show are misleading. For example, they do not show the mandatory airport tax and fuel surcharge.

Australia has already mandated, for a long time, that the all-in pricing should be shown. Perhaps now, several years later, Singapore will follow.

I generally do not find any problem with booking of hotel rooms.

What do you think?
