Delta To Add $25-$50 Surcharge To Frequent
Flyer Tickets Starting August 15
Delta Air Lines announced on Friday the
implementation of a surcharge of $25 or $50 round trip on frequent flyers' free
tickets to help offset soaring fuel costs.
The $25 fee applies to flights in the
United States and Canada. The $50 surcharge will be tacked on to transatlantic and transpacific
flights, as well as on routes to the Caribbean and Latin America.
The change takes effect on SkyMiles
award tickets issued starting August 15th. SkyMiles managing director Jeff
Robertson calls it a "difficult but essential" decision and he hopes
it is temporary. He says if fuel prices come down, Delta officials will
re-evaluate the surcharge.
