Where The Heck is our Govt.?

Author: randy, July 09th, 2008

I recently read that The European Parliament, concerned that many airlines are misleading passengers and that people end up paying a lot more for travel because of the extra fees that travelers haven’t been made properly aware of, agreed to ban airlines from marketing fares that do not include the taxes and surcharges that these travelers have to pay. While the airlines have until the end of the year to get in line with this change, it does seem like the U.S. in it’s dodgy approach to fair pricing of products like air travel again continues to slip behind in any leadership to this growing problem. We as travelers are getting a bit fed up with this practice and all we’ve ever asked for is “what will this trip cost us to travel?” Seems reasonable wouldn’t you say? But unfortunately it continues to fall on deaf ears in Congress.It takes more than one person to say, “I’m mad as hell and not going to take this anymore…”
