Holiday rip-offs to avoid

No one likes to be ripped off on holiday - but we all know that it's far too easy. Finding a cheap holiday is all very well, but that's just the beginning of the battle. There are extra charges before you fly, baggage charges, all those baffling taxes, inflated currency exchange rates, airport parking charges, astronomic phone charges, hotel WiFi charges... wherever you go, you're going to be fleeced! The only thing you're not paying extra for, it seems, is fresh air (and no doubt there are already plans to do just that. Watch this space).

We've selected our top ten pet hates - the things we really resent having to shell out for on holiday, as well as some tips on how to avoid the rip-offs. Feel free to add yours in the Comments box below and we'll put it in our slideshow.
