Holiday travel alert - airlines launch second fare hike in two weeks!

All the major airlines have increased fares another $10 following the fare increase by Delta and Continental. This is the second fare increase in two weeks. As of now, Southwest and AirTran have not matched this increase. While the amount is small, it's another blow to airline passengers as the airlines continue to struggle.

Fees and fare hikes continue to add to the ever increasing costs of flying. Fare hikes that are matched this quickly don't normally stick. However, with holiday travel plans being made, the demand for travel could be up. This fare hike is on the heels of recent fare hikes, fees for busy travel days/holidays, and fees for 2nd bag overseas. The key to budget travel is to prepare onward. When it comes along to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new destinations we have never been before, the fact of expense and budgeting is often in the back of our heads. Planning and consuming our travel budget correctly is a main concern for most families. Reducing spending and costs, while still experiencing your vacation to its fullest, is the key to confirmed achievement and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought regarding saving money while traveling is simple: Even if your personal finances is really small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also recalling that while traveling, whether on a price range or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel charge!.
