Travelers Face More Airline Fees and Higher Costs
Airline passengers can expect more ancillary fees and higher costs as airlines worldwide seek to expand ancillary revenues. A new study by Amadeus and IdeaWorksCompany reports that ancillary fees by airlines grew to $22.6 billion in 2011, which represents a 66 percent increase in two years. United Continental, Delta, American and Qantas are the top ancillary revenue carriers for 2011 and 2010, the report notes.
