Airlines Add Holiday Surcharge
If you are looking to travel on some of the busiest travel days of the season, be prepared for another surcharge on your ticket. United Airlines and Americans Airlines each added a $10 surcharge on most of their tickets for the following busy travel days: November 29th (Sunday after Thanksgiving), January 2nd, and January 3rd. The charge is technically a “fuel surcharge,” but it seems that the airlines are really just looking to hit you in your wallet, just for traveling during the holiday season. If you plan on traveling by air for the holidays, perhaps you could choose travel dates that don’t include these three special days. Your wallet will appreciate it.
