Fare play?Budget airline EasyJet broke advertising rules by exaggerating the low cost of its fares compared with British Airways, the British Advertising Standards Authority has ruled. The ad claimed its fares were up to 65 per cent cheaper than BA to seven destinations. BA complained that prices listed for its flights to Faro and Alicante were not correct and none of the savings amounted to 65 per cent.
