WSJ Your Money Briefing · Summer Travel: Be Prepared for Higher Prices. And Higher Fees. · 9 Jun 2023 podcast

He found a $3 daily housekeeping fee and he had already left cash for the housekeeper. voice-verified

And then he found a credit card processing fee, which I have not come across very frequently. voice-verified

So he wasn't very happy. voice-verified

I mean, it is definitely one sign. voice-verified

I mean, some fees didn't go away. voice-verified

The most notable fee that did go away during the pandemic, in fact, permanently in many cases, are those airline ticket change fees. voice-verified

They used to be as much as $200 or $250 a ticket. voice-verified

So those are gone for good. voice-verified

But people need to know that doesn't apply to all airline tickets. voice-verified

They're not necessarily on the rise. voice-verified

It's just a lot of people don't realize that they're back. voice-verified

You know, because airlines permanently eliminated change fees on regular tickets, you know, during the pandemic, they're back on basic economy tickets. voice-verified

So in some cases, you know, on those no-frill tickets, you can't change at all. voice-verified

In others, you'll still pay a fee of, you know, $100 to $200 if you can change them. voice-verified

So it's just really something travelers have to keep in mind, you know, when they click buy on the cheapest ticket. voice-verified

Nothing yet. voice-verified

Obviously, all these fees and this industry is under a microscope by President Biden and the U.S. voice-verified

Department of Transportation. voice-verified

But those proposals tend to take quite a long time to wind through the government. voice-verified

So we haven't seen anything solid on that front yet. voice-verified
