Airline fee reduction

Posted at 12:09 PM on November 25, 2008 by Bob Collins (1 Comments)

What's this? Airline fees going away?

Delta, new owner of our former hometown airline, is getting rid of some fees, and lowering others, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Among the departed: A charge for an exit row seat, fuel surcharges on award travel, a reduction in the fee for booking a frequent-flyer-mileage ticket

Can you say, "falling fuel prices"?

Remember, the people flying today who bought their tickets months ago paid prices, at least in theory, which reflected what the airlines thought fuel prices would be today. Slight overestimation, maybe??
