The Big Five Airlines has added surchages to their flights this summer
5/26/2010 12:35:21 AM Link 0 comments | Add comment

AIRLINES

American, Delta, Continental, United and US Airways has added surcharges on most flights starting June 10 until August 22, 2010. The Big Five airlines have declared the summer as peak travel. The surcharges range from $10 to $30 for each one way domestic flight and is included in the cost of a ticket. A $10 surcharge is for most Tuesday and Wednesday. A $20 surcharge for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Monday.  A $30 charge for Sundays. Sundays are the busiest  travel day of the week.

Many of the low-fare airlines, such as Southwest and Jetblue do not have surcharges on their flights. This summer when checking for airfare check the low-fare airlines first. Try  traveling on tuesday and wednesday because the big five airlines have declared these days as slow travel days. If possible, your return flight, should be on a tuesday or wednesday,  if not possible try returning early saturday or late saturday. These tip should help you get the lowest fares possible.

Northwest Airlines flights becoming Delta Air Lines

Effective February 1, 2010 all Northwest Airlines flights will become Delta Air Lines flights. Starting next week, you will begin to see updated invoices on Delta Air Lines packages that are affected by this change. In most cases it will be a carrier code change. We recommend that you review and verify all flight information and communicate with your customers accordingly.

Changes to BA checked baggage allowance

AIRLINES

British Airways will make changes to its free checked baggage allowances and baggage charges, effective October 7, 2009.

Checked baggage allowance changes:
Customers travelling in the World Traveller economy cabin to and from the USA, Canada, Bermuda, Argentina, Mexico and the Caribbean will now have a one bag free allowance of 51lbs. (23kgs). 
The changes will affect customers booking from October 7, 2009 for travel from this date. Customers with existing bookings or new bookings up to and including October 6, 2009, for travel anytime, will be unaffected and the current two-piece free allowance and existing charges will remain. 

Customers travelling in First, Club World, Club Europe, and World Traveller Plus, in addition to Gold and Silver Executive Club members travelling in World Traveller, will retain their existing cabin allowance.

Sporting equipment allowance changes:
For new bookings made from July 31, 2009 for travel from October 7, 2009 British Airways will no longer accept sporting equipment free of charge in addition to the free allowance. This applies to customers in all cabins.
Customers with existing bookings made and ticketed before July 31, 2009 for travel after October 7, 2009 will be able to check in one item of sporting equipment in addition to their free cabin allowance if they present their original receipt when they check in at the airport.

For full details including a chart highlighting the changes and new baggage charges please click here.

We are making these changes to align the allowances for the USA, Canada, Bermuda, Argentina, Mexico and the Caribbean to the rest of the world where we are currently allowing one free bag of up to 51lbs. (23kgs). We have carefully monitored customer trends on these flights and the vast majority choose to travel with one checked bag. Maintaining the two-bag allowance on flights to and from Brazil, Kenya, Nigeria and connecting journeys between the USA, Canada and Bermuda and India reflects customer behaviour on these routes as well as local regulatory requirements.

We still provide a very generous hand baggage allowance, and in addition we are offering significant savings for excess baggage fees purchased online at ba.com.

The changes to the baggage allowances are part of a package of measures we are implementing to address the economic downturn and to better reflect changing customer trends. The changes also bring additional benefits as the reduced aircraft weight allows us to save fuel and lessen our impact on the environment.

 

Flying? Don’t Book Under a Nickname

Published: June 8, 2009

The Transportation Security Administration is getting ready to take over responsibility from the airlines for checking passengers’ names against terrorist watch lists, and is advising travelers to start booking airline tickets using their full name as it appears on their driver’s license or passport.

Later this summer, the agency will also begin requiring airlines to ask passengers for their birth date and gender during the ticketing process, information the carriers will then transfer to the T.S.A. The goal is to help make the watch list matching process more accurate.

But it turns out that what’s in a name is more complicated than many reservation systems are currently prepared to handle. So the airlines are telling passengers not to worry if there is no place to enter a middle name when purchasing a ticket, or no field for a date of birth.

“I think the most important thing for passengers to know is that when their airline is ready to ask for that information, they’ll ask for it,” said Tim Wagner, a spokesman for American Airlines — advice that was echoed by other carriers.

While the T.S.A. has announced Aug. 15 as a target date for the airlines to begin asking for each passenger’s full name, gender and date of birth, and has already begun publicizing the program, called Secure Flight, the agency acknowledged that it would go into effect in phases as the airlines update their systems.

“What we’re trying to do is make the public aware that these changes are coming,” said Paul Leyh, the agency’s director for Secure Flight. “If your name is Jonathan Smith and you travel as John Smith and your license says Johnny Smith — get all those things aligned.”

The government’s aim is to streamline the process of checking travelers’ names against its watch lists — a task currently handled separately by each airline — and to collect more detailed information so passengers with names similar to those on the watch list are less likely to be mistakenly detained.

Asking for a birth date, for instance, decreases the likelihood that a child with a name close to one on the list would be subject to an additional search — one example of a false match that has led to complaints.

As part of the Secure Flight program, travelers who have gotten caught up in some type of name problem and go through the process to get their identity cleared will be assigned a “redress number” that they can then enter when booking a flight.

This number, along with the other passenger information, will be sent to the T.S.A., which will check it against terrorist watch lists and tell the airline whether the traveler is cleared to get a boarding pass, should be subject to an additional search or is not allowed to fly.

“Secure Flight is going to allow us to clear over 99 percent of passengers,” Mr. Leyh said.

For travelers who are cleared, the T.S.A. will keep passenger information on file for seven days. For those who are a potential match, it will be kept for seven years and for confirmed matches, it will be stored for 99 years.

Concerns about data storage and privacy were among the issues that held up the transfer of name-matching duties from the airlines to the government, which was mandated by Congress in 2004.

While many of those objections have been addressed by narrowing the scope of the information collected, there are still concerns about the quality of the watch list data.

“To be precise, we support the fact that the government is now trying to make its matches more accurate,” said Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, which has been advocating for stronger privacy protections since Secure Flight’s inception.

“The problem with Secure Flight is that there’s still not adequate transparency or redress for people who are placed on the list,” Mr. Rotenberg said. “As we know from the latest report from the inspector general, the list is riddled with errors.”

The change will probably also create frustrations for people who go by different names and have to standardize the name listed on their passport, driver’s license and possibly frequent-flier accounts.

“I’ve got Francis on my passport but I’ve always gone by Frank — my state I.D. and all of my frequent-flier accounts are Frank,” said Frank Ritchotte, who handles logistics for an audio and visual equipment manufacturer and flies about 150,000 miles a year.

“Now I have to go back and change everything to Francis, which is going to be a pain,” he said.

Complicating matters, he said, “I’m a ‘Jr.’ as well. None of my documentation says ‘Jr.’ except my passport.”

Mr. Ritchotte said he heard about the coming change through his company’s travel department, but felt the information released by the T.S.A. so far had been confusing.

“There hasn’t been a clear message about what you have to do and exactly when you have to do it,” he said. “It’s another thing that’s a hassle.”

Among the concerns raised by fliers are names with hyphens, foreign characters, spaces or just initials and people who have two middle names or have not fully adopted a married name.

“Nicknames are going to be one of the bigger issues,” conceded Paul Flanigan, a spokesman for Southwest, which aims to start collecting the Secure Flight data in October.

Currently, many airlines do not offer a place to supply a middle name when booking online, but for now, the message seems to be: If we don’t ask for it, you don’t have to tell us.

“We’re telling customers, do business with us as you’ve always done,” said Kent Landers, a Delta spokesman. “When the systems are ready to accept the data, we’ll advise passengers.”

Enhancements to Carnival’s Fly Aweigh Program.

AIRLINES

We wanted to share with you the exciting enhancements to Carnival’s Fly Aweigh Program.  As you know, there are many great benefits for guests purchasing air transportation with Carnival.  First and foremost, Carnival takes care of the flight arrangements from beginning to end.

A recently added enhancement is that Carnival will provide guest assistance if travel interruptions occur.  In the event a flight does not arrive in time for the ship’s scheduled departure, guests will be flown to the next port of call and Carnival will provide complimentary hotel and ground transportation services as required.  We are taking the worry out of air travel so that our guests can enjoy a relaxing and memorable vacation.

Air supplements can be added to any cruise booking beginning 331 days prior to the sail date.  Flights will be assigned to guests 75 days prior to sailing and can be viewed via our website at www.carnival.com/mydocuments.

For those guests who want to customize their flight arrangements, we can adjust the flight dates, select a specific airline or arrange for Business or First class seats.  The fee is only $50 per guest ($75 per guest for Europe or South America sailings) and we will take care of all details for the customized flight arrangements.  The best part is that the fee is not due until the guest has approved the customized flight schedule.

Please note that for bookings made on or after April 1, 2009, the current supplement change fee of $50 will increase to $150 when air is involved. This fee is charged for name changes, cancellation of air, departure city changes and other airline-related changes made as part of a ticketed cruise booking or non-ticketed cruise booking which is under deposit and within 60 days of sailing. This increase is due to the escalating change fees imposed upon us by the airlines.

Two words for a frugal flier: Patience. Wednesday.

Want to fly cheap? Time to break some bad habits.

Like buying the first cheap ticket you see or waiting until the last minute to book a fare.

As the economic slump continues and both business and leisure travel declines, fares are getting cheaper as airlines try to fill seats. A roundtrip ticket between San Francisco to Boston for instance, was selling on Feb. 4 for $238, down from $400 on Nov. 1. Even with such bargains, however, travelers need to know a few tricks to get the very best prices.

First, don't hurry.

Matthew D. Weyer sometimes spends hours researching fares online. Knowing what a ticket usually sells for allows him to spot cheap fares almost immediately.

Weyer sets up e-mail alerts for prices on the route he's shopping for at fare-watching sites like Kayak.com or Farecast.com. He finds out whether discount-carrier Southwest Airlines Co. flies a route. He also checks the ticket on booking sites like Travelocity or Orbitz.

Weyer recently shopped for a flight from Greenville, N.C., to Chicago, a ticket he said commonly runs around $410 round-trip. He was tempted at $280. He eventually paid $180 on Priceline.com. Weyer figures he spent about two hours spread over a couple of days searching for the ticket.

Weyer starts shopping as far in advance as he can, but doesn't book right away. He considers it safe to book between one and three months ahead of time. Airlines post their schedules anywhere from six to 11 months in advance.

The 24-year-old Chicago college student and software programmer once flew for only $9 on Spirit Airlines from Chicago to Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., and says the most he has ever paid for a ticket is $240.

Having a price in mind is good advice. A sense of timing helps, too.

If you tend to make travel plans during weekend downtime, reconsider. The best time to shop is late Monday or early Tuesday, some fare experts say. Airlines often start fare sales on Sunday night or Monday morning, said Rick Seaney of FareCompare.com. Those sales alone are fine if they include the flight you want. But other carriers generally match the fare sale by Monday evening or Tuesday morning, giving you more choices.

Seaney said Wednesdays are generally the cheapest day to fly. Tuesdays and Saturdays are also good days to fly because demand is low and the airlines are trying to fill seats.

It's natural for travelers to book their flight when the workday is done or the kids are asleep. But the airlines are posting fares on their own schedule. They file fares to the computer system that shares them among Web sites and travel agents three times each weekday — 10 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Eastern time. It's 5 p.m. Eastern on Saturdays and Sundays. That means fares can change at those times, so when you do see a fare at the price you're looking for, grab it.

Former New Yorker Jill Gott of Providence, R.I., spent two and a half weeks checking American Airlines' Web site several times a day before snagging a $109 round-trip ticket between New York-LaGuardia and Atlanta. She said it was only available for about three hours before jumping back up to $250.

"I just decide what I want to pay for something, and I just keep clicking away until I get it," she said.

But shopper beware. Fares start to rise again 7 to 10 days before a flight — sometimes as long as 14 days or more, depending on the airline and sale offer. Airlines raise fares closer to the departure date because last-minute seats tend to be bought by business travelers and others who must fly at certain times.

Roger Johnson, director of revenue management at New York-based JetBlue Airways Corp., notes that it can be risky for a flier to delay buying a ticket in hopes it will be even cheaper. He says there's no good way for customers to know whether a fare sale will show up in their market.

"They would be gambling that this would happen and would probably lose out more than they would win," he said.

AirTran Airways spokesman Tad Hutcheson said his advice is simple: "I would follow the Moscow rule of shopping — you see it, you like it, you buy it."

Where to buy also matters. For an airline ticket alone, your best bet is an individual airline's Web site, because you'll skip the extra fees some travel Web sites charge.

But those sites don't carry Southwest fares. That means checking Southwest's Web site is a must if you're flying near a city it serves. For instance, on Feb. 24, Southwest was offering tickets on the Baltimore-Austin route for as low as $99, while Orbitz's cheapest offering was $193.

If you're packaging airfare, hotel and a rental car, however, consider Orbitz and Travelocity, which often discount such bundles.

Like Weyer, you can also try Priceline, where users can bid for tickets. A customer may end up with an undesirable itinerary, like flying in the wrong direction to make a connection, but the fare can sometimes be cheaper. Not all airlines, however, participate in Priceline's "name your own price" offer.

Another piece of advice — learn to love St. Louis, Detroit, Chicago O'Hare, and other hub airports where you can connect to your final destination. Nonstops are convenient, desirable — and sometimes more expensive, said George Hobica, who runs airfarewatchdog.com. That's not always the case, though, so always compare.

If travel isn't possible or desirable in the near term, don't worry. Tom Parsons, chief executive of travel Web site BestFares.com, said great fare sales are possible in the coming months for travel during the peak summer period.

"I would keep watching and watching and watching," Parsons said. "This is a very fragile airfare system out there."

I would like to share recent key indicators that suggest that the worst of the economic crisis is behind us and give some details on a Spirit Airlines $100M stimulus package of savings.

  1. Retail sales were up 1% in January year over year after six consecutive months of declines.  That’s amazing and shows that consumer confidence is rebounding!
  2. Last week’s unemployment numbers were encouraging with 8,000 fewer new claims compared to the prior week!
  3. We are now seeing signs of recovery in the housing market due in large part to lower mortgage rates and confidence from buyers that we have reached a bottom!
  4. With energy prices half what they were a year ago, the savings goes to the bottom line of every family, saving the economy billions!
  5. Numerous experts have pointed to the fact we have found a bottom in the stock market and expect a rebound from here!

The great news about the economy does not stop there! President Obama is expected to sign the long awaited stimulus bill tomorrow. Shortly thereafter, the United States Treasury Department will finalize plans to continue strengthening our financial infrastructure. So, if you are looking for even more economic stimulus that provides up to $100M* in savings and provides up to $1B* in total spend for the economy, then take advantage of Spirit’s Presidential Stimulus Plan. The stimulus provides a family of four $200* in travel savings with some families saving up to $750* per trip (based on a single mother with fourteen children)!
