airline fees

Two U.S. senators say one way to reduce long airport security lines this summer is for airlines to drop their fees on checking luggage.

No one should blame consumers for being perplexed by airfares -- even the airlines themselves can seem confused at times.

A Senate panel approved an aviation policy bill Wednesday after a partisan fight over whether airlines gouge consumers with fees for basic services like checked bags, seat assignments and ticket changes.

The revenue earned by airlines through extras such as baggage fees and add-on seat charges continues to grow by the billions.

The government should crack down on airline fees for things like seat reservations, checked baggage and ticket changes or cancellations, which are often unfair or hidden from consumers, according to a Senate report released Thursday.

Airlines in the United States are expected to have their best spring in nearly a decade, continuing the recent trend of improvement within the industry, but that doesn't mean flyers should expect a break.

It will soon cost you money to check a bag on JetBlue if you buy the cheapest level of tickets.

I don’t fly regularly and I haven’t booked an international flight in decades, so a USA Today article on increased airline fees really caught me by surprise both in their number and in their cost.

Airlines have been adding seats to their coach cabins; it's a move that's great for their bottom line, but horrible for passengers.

A government report says airline passengers can expect fewer carriers to choose from, fewer flights to smaller cities and more baggage and other fees as the industry continues to grapple with high fuel prices and a weak economy.
