Delta raises some fees
If you fly Delta, you’re about to pay some higher fees if you’re traveling with pets, booking tickets over the phone, or claiming some of your frequent flier miles. According to an Associated Press report, Betsy Talton, a spokeswoman for Delta Air Lines, the country’s third-largest carrier, said Delta’s additional fees are largely in response to fuel prices and said that the most recent attempts by Delta to raise fares “have not been successful because there’s also a need for Delta to be competitive.” A new $25 “handling charge” may prove the most controversial. This applies to any Delta award ticked booked through a Delta representative that includes a segment on another airline. According to the report, in the past, people who redeemed their Delta SkyMiles for free tickets on partner carriers such as Northwest and Continental did not pay a “handling charge” whether they booked it on the phone or online.
