Airlines expand $10 one-way surcharge on busy travel days

U.S. airlines impose surcharge on 10 more busy travel days; fee is $10 each way

By The Associated Press

Several big U.S. airlines have added $10 surcharges for busy days around the holidays, making days that already tended to be expensive to fly a little more costly.

Last month airlines added a $10 each-way surcharge for Nov. 29 (the Sunday after Thanksgiving) and Jan. 2 and 3.

Now, FareCompare.com CEO Rick Seaney notes that the same airlines have added 10 more days on which surcharges will apply: Nov. 30; Dec. 19, 26, and 27; March 14, 20, 21, 28; April 11; and May 28.

He said the surcharges have been added by Delta Air Lines (which includes Northwest); American Airlines, United Airlines, Continental Airlines and US Airways. Seaney said discounters such as Southwest and JetBlue appear to be avoiding the surcharges.
