Several big airlines have added $10 surcharges for busy days around the holidays, making days that already tended to be expensive to fly a little more costly. Last month airlines added a $10 each-way surcharge for Nov. 29 (the Sunday after Thanksgiving) and Jan. 2 and 3.
Now, FareCompare.com CEO Rick Seaney notes that the same airlines have added 10 more days: Nov. 30; Dec. 19, 26, and 27; March 14, 20, 21, 28; April 11; and May 28.
He said the surcharges have been added by Delta Air Lines Inc. and Northwest, AMR Corp.'s American Airlines, UAL Corp.'s United Airlines, Continental Airlines Inc., and US Airways Group Inc. Seaney said discounters such as Southwest and JetBlue appear to be avoiding the surcharges.
