\nextra per flight. Well the additional penny pinching has paid off, so the airlines plan to extend \u2013 and increase \u2013 the surcharges through Memorial Day
\n2010.<\/p>\n
\nthe friendly skies? The most common charges will range from $10<\/strong> to $30<\/strong> and in
\nsome cases up to $50<\/strong>! The offenders include United<\/strong>, Delta<\/strong>, and Northwest<\/strong>. US
\nAirways<\/strong> took a different approach and will add a 5% surcharge equal to the domestic
\nfare booked starting May 8. Many of the new surcharges will be added to dates that
\ncoincide with both spring break and Easter travel.<\/p>\n
\nmight want to rethink those plans. That is because some of the airlines plan to
\ntake advantage of post-Super Bowl travel with an additional $50 fee. Airlines
\nstarted these new fees in September for trips planned around fall and winter
\nholidays. Since that time, those same carriers have doubled them and extended them to 41
\ndates between Thanksgiving and Memorial Day.<\/p>\n
\ndeplorable lengths in order to turn a profit. Not even in the worst of times has an
\nairline added a fee in the range of $50. With fewer people traveling these days, I am not sure that this is a wise business move. If other
\nairlines do not follow or match these fees, maybe it will send a message to the
\nbig four to rethink their “Grinch-like” tactics.<\/p>\n
