Despite the new American Airlines $10 surcharge for the Sunday following Thanksgiving and for the weekend of Jan. 2-3, 2010, airlines are not allowed by federal regulations to charge holiday travel fees.
Although American announced they would be adding these $10 each way for domestic flights around Thanksgiving and New Year’s, these fees are already included in the cost of the ticket you purchase. So, don’t fret, you will not have to pay these fees on top of your baggage fees, increased air travel fees and airport fees. Whew.
But if you ask us, this is a tricky way that American Airlines has gotten around federal regulations against holiday travel fees.

Well travelers, we can’t candy-coat this, airline baggage fees are not going to get any better, they’re actually going to get worse, so buckle in.
A report released this week has shown that this year alone airlines will be earning around $4 billion from charging for checked baggage, with Delta Air Lines collecting around $7.60 per passenger, and receiving five complaints from around every 1,000 passengers.
The weekly Economist magazine had this to say, “One airline stands above all the others for collecting the most from its customers to transport luggage and in complaints that those bags have been mishandled. This year Delta Air Lines has taken around $7.60 a passenger and received over five complaints from every 1,000 passengers.”
