Airlines add Holiday Travel Surcharge

October 8th, 2009 — 7:11pm

For those that thought that airfare price increases would be limited to bag charges, you were wrong. Six airlines (so far!) have added a $10 surcharge to flights that take place on 13 days around Thanksgiving, Christmas and other holidays. The airlines adding the surcharge are American, Delta, Northwest, United, Continental and US Airways. The specific dates for which you will be charged the $10 surcharge are Nov. 29-30, Dec. 19, Dec. 26-27, Jan. 2-3, March 14, March 20-21, March 28, April 11 and May 28.

So what does this mean for your holiday travels? Clearly they’ll cost a little more – a family of four flying over Christmas could rack up an extra $80 in charges. It’s buffered a little this year by the lower costs of airfare due to the recession, but that doesn’t mean anyone will feel any better paying the fee. You can be a little creative with your flights and avoid the fee just by flying on different days. The Christmas surcharge days are Dec. 19, 26, 27, and Jan. 2 and 3 – fly mid-week around Christmas and you’ll avoid the $10 surcharge.

Regardless, it’s another added cost to air travel, and I don’t think this is the last. Now it’s really important to find great travel deals!

The Secret to Southwest Airlines Deals

August 31st, 2009 — 6:50pm

There’s really only one good trick to finding good Southwest Airlines deals – book as early as you can.  With the funky way the Southwest booking engine works, you can easily see the different prices and different times on all their flights.  And since flights are now available for booking around the holidays, you can definitely find some great deals if you book now.

For example, I found a round-trip from Seattle to Phoenix leaving on Wedenesday, Dec. 23, coming back on Sunday, Dec. 27 for $299 round-trip, including all taxes – not a bad price at all.  However, I did searches for cheap East Coast flights, and I see a bunch of red “Unavailable” warnings.  My suggestion?  If you’re planning on any Thanksgiving or Christmas trips this year, book as soon as you can!  Prices are only going to go up!
