So much has changed in the way we travel in recent years. Since 2001 and the events of 9/11 we saw many security features improved, including screening, and what is considered to be acceptable to bring with you on vacation. Now, on top of all of the security changes, we are witnessing yet another change, and that is in the airline fares. If you are a frequent flyer, you have probably already noticed the significant increase in prices for tickets. This is due to the overwhelming current price of fuel. For airlines to survive, they simply had to increase their fares to account for the increase in fuel prices. The way they are doing this is by charging every flyer a surcharge for fuel. This is not new; however, what has changed is yet another increase to the fuel surcharge. For example, the major airline in the US has charged an additional twenty dollars on a roundtrip, on top of what you were paying before. You will witness many other airlines following suit. Unfortunately, this will not change anytime soon. As long as the price of fuel stays high, we will see the fuel surcharges increasing along with gas prices.
