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.
