3 airlines extend, raise surcharges for busy days - USATODAY.com
The $10 and $20 surcharges that air travelers are paying this Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's are generating so much extra money that three airlines are extending them - and increasing them up to $50 - all the way to Memorial Day.
A fourth airline, US Airways (LCC), is imposing a different new surcharge equal to 5% of the fare price on all domestic flights starting May 8.
