We have seen Delta Airlines, Northwest Airlines and United Airlines, American Airlines, Continental Airlines, and other carriers adding more holiday and peak travel airfare surcharges that will cost you more to travel this year.
The writing is on the wall it's going to cost you more to travel after Memorial
Day weekend. Travelers should make every attempt to avoid flying on the peak travel days
if they expect to fly on the Bestfares. Some airlines are adding surcharges
throughout the entire summer of 2010 so be prepared to pay more this upcoming
summer.
Listed below are the current holiday and peak surcharge dates. Currently JetBlue, Southwest,
Virgin and AirTran do not have peak travel
surcharges. AirTran did impose a peak travel surcharge but has since pulled
these charges.
