Expedia Sees the Light, Eliminates Air Ticket Booking Fees

Friday, May 29th, 2009

It’s tough when all of your competitors do something that will lose money…then you’ve gotta do the same thing or look bad. That’s what Expedia said this week when they threw in the towel, joining Orbitz and Priceline by doing away–permenently–with their airfare booking fees.

It was a sad goodbye to a big money maker, between $7-12 per flight. Multiply that times thousands of tickets a day and you’re talking real money. But the problem was that so many savvy flyers just browse for the fares at the “OTA” (online travel agency) and then jump over to AA.com or Delta.com to actually make the purchase.

Now the fares the travelers see on Orbitz, Expedia and Priceline will match the fares they can find on airline websites. These agencies are hoping they can retain more customers for the lucrative add ons like airport parking, car rentals, and hotels. So far Expedia and other say that doing away with the annoying booking fees has helped increase their airline ticket sales.

In other Expedia news, the company announced that they will eliminate the change-and-cancel fees on hotel, car rental and cruise reservations.

Skybus Founder Gets Up, Dusts Off, Starts Another Airline

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Remember Skybus?  It was kind of a cool idea, they offered $10 trips from Ohio to various Florida cities, and lasted less than a year. It was those $4.50 per gallon fuel costs that drove them to the brink.  Despite the littered landscape with discarded el cheapo airlines, the founder of Skybus, John Weickle, is giving it another go: JetAmerica will soon begin service between Toledo, OH, South Bend IN, Melbourne FL, Newark NJ, Minneapolis and Lansing MI.  Weickle has a few extra arrows in his quiver this time, in the form of subsidies to help get him off to a good start.

JetAmerica believe these small cities will support air service, since most of them lost a big chunk of their daily flights during this recession. Oh, and they’re offering JetAmerica $1.4 million in grants in its first year. That softens the blow that a bunch of half-empty planes will bring.

The other carrot being offered by some midwestern airports is $867,000 in waived airport fees and $1.1 million in marketing and advertising assistance. For South Bend, Toledo and Melbourne, this money came from the DOT’s Small CommunityAir Service Development  Program.  JetAmerica will keep Skybus’ legacy alive by offering $9 fares for some seats and topping out ticket prices at $199, with just about everything, from drinks to luggage, costing extra.
