How travel fees can obscure true travel cost
Tom Belden
An excellent column by longtime travel writer Bill McGee in USA Today outlines how fees for travel services have spread way beyond airlines and can easily obscure bottom-line costs. The article, found here, includes numerous helpful links to other travel information.

You never addressed the fact that Southwest airlines came into this city guns blazing and along with the travel writers told of the southwest "effect"..well, I guess now it is the opposite...or were they counting on usairways going broke and even the airport build a whole new concourse for them....amazing isn't it.
