Remember back in March when Expedia and some of the other OTA guys announced they'd be temporarily suspending booking fees? Right. Well, turns out that's going permanent. No more booking fees, and no more change fees or cancel fees on any hotel, car rental, cruise reservations, and the majority of flight reservations. Will the other sites follow? They did last time. As it stands, Orbitz flight booking fees range from $6.99 to $11 and Travelocity charges $5 to $15. And don't forget, change fees mentioned are additional to whatever wacky and infuriating fees your airline will impose.
From Priceline's web site:
In the face of high travel prices and unnecessary fees, four fists are better than two.
That's why the Negotiator has teamed up with his partner NoFee to eliminate all priceline cancellation and change fees on every published-price airline ticket, hotel room, rental car, cruise and vacation package where changes or cancellations are allowed.
