Airlines will make a record $118 billion in extra fees this year—their websites are designed to get you to pay::Airlines are piling on fees for checked bags, assigned seats, and other extras. Here’s how their websites pressure fliers into paying for them.
You can buy tickets at the ticket counter and they can’t charge all the convenience fees. We’ve gotten tickets for 50% of what they were listed for online. Just go when there isn’t a flight departing and have all your info ready to go. They will not be happy you are there.
What fees do you find waived and for what airline? I haven’t noticed TicketMaster-like convenience fees with the ones I fly
Spirit, avelo… But the fucking smiles are free
I got charged $25 per ticket to check-in at the counter when I lost my phone. If I had known ahead of time I’d have done something else but I didn’t have any spare time at that point.
This isnt checking in at the counter it’s purchasing the tickets at the counter.
I know it’s different. Just providing my experience of something that didn’t use to cost extra but now does.
