I don't think that the transaction fee is that high. It is 6 EUR per booking, and not 6 EUR per person. Someone can book 10 tickets from Riga to Boston, paying 15,000 EUR while paying just 6 EUR as tx fee.

Okey, they have removed the fee. https://i.imgur.com/Ley8aWV.pngNice of them to put it on par with their airBaltic credit card solution. Surely it's a great move in my opinion.

Imagine it was Malaysia Airlines! Who would book then? Also, I should note. They are losing over 1M USD a day for months and months now!

More and more businesses are accepting Bitcoin because among all the other benefits of using Bitcoin, they get instant advertisement with threads such as this.

If I ever fly with them I will shout out "Bitcoin" and see how many people would react to it.

Air Travel has been bought with btc for a while
EXPEDIA
Air and Hotel right???
So an individual airline is cool, but not a major event, now if a big carrier took it, that would be a better btc news pop imo
But merchant acceptance isn't the driving force
It's bitcoin users as a percentage of world populaton

It's a low-cost airline, they charge for pretty much everything. Still good news, they took BTC on board...
Bitcoin is a low cost payment method. Seems to fit well

I've flown on air baltic and yeah I recall them tacking on all sorts of miscellaneous fees. There's a lot of low cost air lines where, if you check a bag, that's an extra $50 they tack on.
I would think that the overall costs would be lower as it is much cheaper to accept bitcoin then it is to accept credit cards.

Rename "transaction fee" to "additional fee". Problem solved. Company can charge whatever it wants in my opinion as long as it's labeled correctly, and not a "hidden fee".

The proper term is "administrative charge".

It's good of them to bow to the pressure and remove that ridiculous "administrative fee". I can just imagine the board-room meeting where that decision was made lol

Shouldnt this 'fee' just be considered a cost of business.... DUH. Then this kind of "fee" is just included in the price of the ticket - NOT an additional fee. This is the equivalent of having a Vending machine with TWO coin slots. One to pay for the drink/chocolate, and the other to pay for the human to come and collect the money and fill the machine up again.

I guess we should be thankful that some companies are starting to accept bit coin. If one starts to accept then hopefully others will follow in suit and start to accept bit coin as well once they realise that it can work and will be benificial to them. It may take time for the bigger companies to start to accept this kind of currency but once they know they can bring more customers in I am sure they will jump at the chance to start accepting this kind of currency, we hope!
