Here takes a look at the worst ways greedy airlines rack up the cost of your family holiday.Ī key part of Biden's plan is to look at the ways airlines and booking site add on extra charges beyond the advertised price.Ĭustomers are often promised a headline sum for a flight only to find the true cost is hundreds of dollars more expensive due to additional fees such as luggage.Īnd the costs can rise with every piece of luggage the passenger wants to take. Passengers were forced to fork out $5.3 billion in baggage fees alone last year, according to figures from the Transport Department. Meanwhile aviation firms raked in a further $700 million in cancellation and flight change charges. It comes as Frontier Airlines was forced to reveal it gives staff $10 bonuses every time they succeed in charging customers extra if their carry-on luggage is too big.
'We will prohibit airlines from charging up to $50 roundtrip for families just to sit together,' Biden announced during his State of the Union address last month.
