(CNN) -we’ve all seen that “many” airline advertising, only to find the additional charges, taxes and fees, many are not so great. Starting Thursday, when the airline saw a price of $ 500 consumer, who will be the price advertised they pay. (Of course, will still be some cost “optional” extra luggage fees as annoying as seat reservations, etc.)
Here’s a synopsis of the new rules take effect this week affect airfares and airline fees:
Beginning Thursday, all advertised airline prices should be the full cost of travel. Airlines squirm, claiming that their businesses will suffer if it is necessary to advertise the full cost of travel and suggested that consumers will be scared away when they saw a surge in the price when this rule applies. Consumers can see what seems to be a price increase, but only transparency and honesty will be blamed.
Comment: new rule making airfares look taller
Many airlines and some analysts argue that making airlines that play with the rules of another industry is, well, UN-American. However, the Department of Transportation has found himself all but forced to act because of the astounding difference in price advertised and real price of air travel.
