Airline tickets, and the airline charges two quid per ticket. Looks
like most travel websites charge for credit card payment anyway, either
a flat fee or a percentage of transaction value.

Interesting, that, about merchants not being supposed to charge for
Visa transactions. As you say, it's not something UK merchants follow.
