A new fee on air travel….
Posted by Vineeth Purushothaman on Oct 1, 2008 in Travel news |
From the 1st of November, air travellers in India will pay an additional transaction fee - Indian travel agents and airlines have mutually decided to add a transaction fee for air tickets issued from the 1st of November, according to the Economic Times.
It would be a minimum of INR350 for domestic and maximum of INR10,000 for international tickets according to the report.
What we don’t know is who gets the money? Is this a substitute for the commissions which used to be paid to travel agencies?
