The latest from Consumer Traveler
Tell us how much it costs! Passenger poll shows frustration with airline fee disclosure
A Travelers United poll in response to requests from DOT, more than 2,600 consumers dramatically responded loud and clear, “Tell us how much it costs!”
Who is responsible for your flight delay?
New research points the finger at passengers (other passengers) as the cause of many airline delays. Sometimes airlines may be at fault. You think?
What the heck are we paying the FAA to do?
Many who are interested in aviation technology are having some issues with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) these days.
Should airlines pay us for schedule changes when they change them?
Should airlines pay passengers a change fine equal to their change fees when they significantly change flights? It seems like a good idea.
