There's a big difference between the airlines hiking fares for future flights, which you can see when searching, and choose the competition; and companies adding "surcharges" to pre-existing contracts, some with terms and penalties for termination; all of which have a relatively high switching cost. This is a way for them to raise prices above what they contracted for, while preventing termination of contracts for cause. It's sleazy.
agreed. however, is there a provision in the contract that allows the rates, fees, etc to be changed without notice? regards, jam
