There are hundreds, perhaps thousands of fare search engines and airline websites that purportedly gives the searcher the "lowest fare". Savvy travelers know to look beyond the headline fare and tally up all obvious and not so obvious add-ons to come to the final price.
Many website of airlines and search engines advertise "teaser fare" such as Washington-London at $199*.....The asterisk is where things start getting interesting. In this case, the asterisk means, limited seating, mid-week departure, non-refundable, non-changeable, minimum and maximum stay, excluding taxes, fees, surcharges and ancillary fees. Do expect that once you add all these, the price will exceed $800. False advertising? May be...
Even business travelers now are raising eyebrows about certain surprise fees that they encounter. For example, after shelling almost $10,000 for a British Airways business class seat, passengers are surprised by a $120 fee for a seat assignment, each way, for an additional $240 on a round-trip fare.
At Premiere Travel, we streamline the process for our clients through an honest Fare Compare and inform them of the final pricing without all the gimmicks.
