US Airlines Junk Fees

A report published by the Senate subcommittee has revealed that US airlines are earning billions of dollars in so-called ‘junk fees’ for charging customers for ad-hoc items like carry-on baggage, checked-in luggage as well as pre-booking of seats.

Major US airlines are taking legal action against the U.S. Transportation Department regarding a new regulation mandating upfront disclosure of airline fees, marking the latest confrontation between air carriers and the Biden administration.
