Airlines raise fees as federal taxes expire



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Well done by those airlines who chose not to screw their customers. Somehow, Delta made it on the good list which is a pleasant surprise. With service as bad as they have, it's also hard to charge a premium.

Some airline customers won't see savings this weekend even though several federal taxes on tickets have expired.

US Airways and American Airlines raised fares to offset the tax savings.

That means instead of passing along the savings from expired taxes, the carriers are pocketing the money while customers pay the same amount as before.

But other airlines left their prices unchanged on Saturday. Consumers could save money by shopping around.
