Airline fees, naughty or nice? Think about holiday travel before you answer
As we hurtle toward Thanksgiving and Christmas (please tell me you have booked your flights by now), SmarterTravel.com has prepared some tips on how to survive the holiday crunch — by paying some airline fees.
Yes, you heard right.
SmarterTravel’s Carl Unger, not Grinch, has written a convincing stress-busting guide to holiday travel titled “Seven Annoying Airline Fees Actually Worth Paying This Holiday Travel Season.”
Unger contends that the busiest time of the year for air travel is the only time it makes sense to pony up for extras that bring a little TLC. From more legroom ($10 to $50) to pillows and blankets ($7 to $15), Unger lists the pros and cons of each “annoying” fee and offers an opinion on whether you should treat yourself.
