The ACCC is taking Webjet to court for allegedly advertising flights for sale at prices people could not actually book because they excluded Webjet's mandatory service fees.

The regulator also says that Webjet sent over 300 confirmation emails to customers who did not actually have confirmed bookings. Webjet later either asked them for additional payment to confirm the booking or refunded them.

 
Goos. A few million dollar fine would ram the message home!
