Security Charges Dept: Then came the fuel surcharge, air navigation fee, aviation insurance, security charges and fees for having the terminal redecorated, according to The Star. The City of Toronto charges 3,000 different user fees and Mayor Rob Ford has promised more. I m puzzled by the way the city s website phrases it: User fees can help the City keep the cost of property taxes down by making sure that services which only a few people choose to use are not paid for by everyone and last year the world s airlines earned $21.5 billion in extra fees for things you once took for granted: a second suitcase, headset, blanket, wide seats, help finding another flight if yours is cancelled, food. I swear, Ryanair-style washrooms and standing seats are next. The genius of Expedia.ca is that it adds most of the ancillaries to the cost of a return flight. Who takes those amazingly cheap one-way flights you see in travel ads? People fleeing a broken heart and terrorists, it can t be a big demographic. With Expedia, at least you know where you stand. As
reported in the news.
@t one way flights, cheap one way flights
