How to Avoid the Holiday “Peak Travel Day” Surcharges

November 9, 2009 | Posted in: Airlines, Holiday Travel, Pricing Activity

It’s pretty easy to avoid those new and irritating holiday “peak travel day” surcharges:

Just look at my handy new “surcharge calendars” – and you’ll see exactly which days now carry this surcharge, at a glance.

And you really should avoid these new fees – oops, I mean, surcharges – because of what I’ll call the “yeast factor” – you see, they keep rising.

These “peak travel day” surcharges which were first introduced in September, were originally priced at $10 one-way – but they have since doubled to $20 one-way.

Why not put that extra 40 bucks per flight in your own pocket?
