Online Buyers Beware

When shopping for airline tickets, travel packages, and cruises online, be sure to study the prices closely, as many online sites lure you in with low base rates. However, when you go to purchase, you find a much higher price tag because of taxes,security fees, fuel surcharges etc… that don’t appear until the end of the booking process. For example, one online site advertises LAX-London for $199. But that is a one-way fare based on roundtrip purchase, so the price is really $398. Still pretty good, until you add on the $415 of government taxes, security, and supplemental fees. So that $199 advertised rate is going to set you back $813 when all is said and done.
