Travel Costs in 2008
As I write this, American Airlines has just announced that they will be reducing their 2008 flight schedule, and implementing drastic capacity reductions. Further, they have introduced a $15 fee for the first checked bag (in addition to the $25 for the second bag), given the increased cost of transporting checked baggage.
So far this year, the other airlines have levied charges on checked luggage, increased phone and in person booking fees, increased change fees, added fuel charges, and increased ticket fares.
While most of our clients do not require travel to a client's facilities, we will continue to monitor the situation and will be modifying our travel and billing policies to clearly communicate our airline choices, preferences, and strategies to save our clients money.
