Airlines continue to concoct and come up with ever more creative ways to charge travelers fees for almost anything they can get away with.
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)accepting industry comments until September 23 on a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) regarding enhanced passenger protections. Among DOT’s proposals is a requirement that airlines make ancillary fee information available on their websites for the 50% of travelers who purchase their tickets there. As it relates to the other 50% of travelers who use online travel agencies and travel management companies (TMCs), such as business travelers, DOT is asking for comments on whether airlines should also be required to make fee information available to these distributors via any global distribution system in which a carrier participates.
