Airlines to Tack on $10 for Holiday Travel

" Wolf first a charge for checked bags and -- gas than they said how about some more money for extra leg room and now the airlines. They're charging a ten dollar premium for already elevated fares on three of the busiest travel days of the year. Talking about the Sunday after Thanksgiving of course but one of the busiest and now. January 2 right after the New Year's holiday January 2 and third will be included in this Jordan is copper Fox Business exclusive. The best -- dot com founder and CEO Tom Parsons. What. Why are they pushing this the I mean they're making a lot of money out of what are they going to get any backlash a lot of people are cutting back are they going to feel."

" They they might be able to but here's the whole thing I think if you're flexible this holiday season especially Christmas and new years. And an advance on people avoid January 2 third at ten dollar fee is not what you should be worried about when I priced New York or Los Angeles. And not traveling on the second and third and coming back on another day as fighting roundtrip airfares. -- between Christmas and New Year's around 300 dollars roundtrip. Put that Saturday and Sunday and they're coming back. And my fair jumps up to about 48500. That's a whole more than but that's a whole bunch more money than ten bucks same thing with Florida those other destinations I think -- avoid those travel days of fly in between. We found between Washington DC and Orlando round trip between Christmas and new years a 180 bucks round trip alt tags out the door. So I think if you're flexible avoid those busy days I you'll be able fly this holiday season. Cheaper than you did last year I don't know I bought tickets that camp and I'm going. For about 150 bucks let's not paid last year."

" I'm paying 550 round trip to Phoenix plus the 35 bucks -- the pay check my bag on US Airways. IQ questions freed up -- why is American and delta and US Airways adding -- ten bucks why bother anybody got. A low cost low cost carrier like Southwest Airlines. That are raised their fares from more than 50% my second question where's the Hawaiian shirt that's my favorite part of her."

" Business. Actually have to go somewhere and they were required jacket. -- propaganda and it I thought I want to thank god are not. I you know I know but you know -- come down this there are ways to skin can't you know if you're trying to go to Florida for the Christmas holidays. And you live in New York or Washington DC Pittsburgh Boston. I got a way to get there for the holidays if you know you talk about the airlines. Guess how much they want for car rental and Orlando Tampa fort lagged out during the Christmas week album this is where Compaq. 800. Dollars a week -- you know you'd. Now if you live in the northeast and Pittsburgh Boston as destinations you can actually pick up an Alamo car. In Washington and drop it off in Florida you'll pay about thirty bucks. That with taxes and all that 300 dollars for seven days for an SUV. Drop it off at the Orlando airport in Tampa airport reform I don't fly back home and a family of four -- flat on the right days and travel you can get the car. And the airfare for under 600 dollars versus paying 880 -- for the car went to get the Florida SE might find that -- good good words. It -- again up to have looking around it try to figure out what to do about holidays in California versus new York and what I saw made it to -- totally but I saw. Many fewer flights available them last year are they. How are they severe cutting back. Well again that you might see less likely -- the same time we see some competition this year from virgin America. -- blue American delta and and United Airlines -- that coast to coast corridor. They are I mean yeah it'll still be flights out there but they'll be even during Christmas they'll still be more than than probably normal those -- But I think what you have to do is that that the whole trick is the flexibility again if you go out to 38 round trip. You fly -- during Christmas you going to fly 338 you want to come back on the second -- third of January you're gonna pay about most 500 dollars. And that's why you got avoid those busy travelling so more flexible you are and the more you poke around. Al -- that work from southwest the other days and poke poke around you'll find some good deals and I did it. Okay and so I think is this holiday season he should be looking now though I think you've got to be looking down you gotta be. But the I think -- talk -- the bags some airlines charge went up -- 128 dollars an effort to check bags. Don't ever bring it over we're fifty pounds you Natalie -- for tea bags in for maybe 600 dollars so. Bags is a very important thing. Be careful -- checking. Pack light and look for those deals didn't live up in the northeast I'd take a page that Alamo one way -- anti happiness scale drying our -- deals -- all right Tom Parsons best that's fair dot com thanks Tom very much thank you. And that's the shirt Tom."
