Hidden surcharges and fees are one of those things that I let get to me out of proportion to their actual import.\u00c2\u00a0 I think it’s the generally dishonest nature of them.\u00c2\u00a0 If you advertise a service at a price, you should deliver that service for that price.\u00c2\u00a0 If you can’t, advertise at a price for which you *can* deliver that service.\u00c2\u00a0 Not complicated.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I was galled by one yesterday when I walked up to a counter in an airport and bought a ticket.\u00c2\u00a0 The ticket was $XXX, along with a “$25 administrative service charge.”\u00c2\u00a0 Wait.\u00c2\u00a0 I just walked up to your<\/em> desk in your<\/em> airport, and you<\/em> want me<\/em> to pay another $25 for the privilege of buying a ticket from you?\u00c2\u00a0 WTF?<\/p>\n Anyway, in the spirit of these things, here’s a very handy chart outlining the current US domestic airline fees<\/a>.<\/p>\n
