Delta, American Airlines and United are very secretly changing the price of their tickets
Delta Airlines along with its rivals such as United and American Airlines are changing the price of some tickets as discreetly as possible. The US air carrier might charge its customer many more dollars to travel to certain locations from now onwards. Customers who might face difficulty are searching for the cheapest flights available offering the lowest prices.
The air travelling company will be charging the same airfare for round trips. For passengers who like to go to different locations in just one trip will have to spend more, especially the ones who do not prefer the economy class over the business class. The prices have increased seven times more than the normal rates, which is still unknown to many customers. Now these poor passengers will not have much choice left in the matter and will not be able to save money for shopping when they travel to exotic places.
The passengers, who plan to travel via Delta Airlines, American Airlines and United Airlines, are recommended to visit the official websites of these carriers and recheck the airfare before any bookings. Delta is being accused of illegally coordinating with the other two airlines and changing the airfare for their own benefits putting customers in a vulnerable position. Advocacy group has submitted a request to the Department of Justice to start investigations for the airline scandal.
The chairman of the advocacy group, Kevin Mitchell even said that customers are being blindfolded by this new unannounced change in the prices of the tickets and will have to pay eventually after making the booking when they are booking ticket online through the website of the airline. Delta has even stopped the practice of providing nonrefundable tickets to customers and now only offers refundable tickets to the customers.
Delta Airlines said that these new rules of bookings has its advantages in some areas and is keeping a close eye after making changes, focusing on the feedback of customers.
United Airlines even dropped its plans of buying 24 permits from taking off to landing at the Newark Airport according to the announcement of the Justice of Department. Both these parties might be changing airfare together but they are not together in every perspective apparently. These air carriers made an agreement to sell each other slots for New York. The deal ended on Tuesday after the FAA announced that the slot controls would be lifted on order to promote competition in the aviation industry.
A spokesman for Untied said that this deal would have provided benefits to the public, but sadly this deal was not successful.
