Are you rethinking travel plans?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Travelers who book flights will now pay more to fly.
Blame rising fuel costs. Delta Air Lines, for instance, has increased its fuel surcharge $20 for most domestic round-trip flights, according to an AJC article
In recent months, most carriers have announced a wave of fuel surcharges.
“It’s important we price our product to keep pace with our costs,” Delta spokesman Kent Landers said earlier this week. Delta isn’t alone. Other airlines have increased surcharges as well.
With the summer travel season approaching, how are airline ticket prices affecting your plans? Are you booking early to avoid the possibility of even higher fees or are you rethinking the trip? Will you drive instead or stick close to home?
