While these fees have helped many U.S. carriers return to profitability, airlines’ continued refusal to share core fee information with online travel sites and travel agents (who account for 50% of all air travel sold and 95% of corporate business travel) is directly harming millions of consumers and companies who have been forced to pay hidden or very poorly disclosed airline fees. Consumers deserve to have all of the information they need to make informed choices and purchases. When comparison shopping for the best price, they deserve to know, up front, the full cost (fares, fees and taxes) of their air travel. Airline passengers are standing together to encourage the U.S. DOT to adopt a new rule this year requiring airlines to share their fee information with travel sites and travel agents.
