New rules on airline fees, a partial victory for travelers
December 29,
2011
If airfares confuse you as much as they confuse me, then I have some
good news: Several new rules are going to make it easier to calculate the total
cost of a ticket.
Maybe.
Starting Jan. 26, a new U.S.
Transportation Department rule will require airlines to include all taxes and
fees in their advertised fares. Other provisions of the rule — banning
post-purchase price increases and allowing passengers to hold certain
reservations without payment or to cancel them without penalty for 24 hours
after booking — will take effect Jan. 24.
The DOT is also requiring
airlines to disclose baggage fees when passengers buy a ticket, mandating that
the same baggage allowances and fees apply throughout a journey, and stipulating
that those fees be shown on electronic ticket confirmations.
The airline
industry, which fought many of these requirements during the rulemaking process,
isn’t complying quietly.
For all other sites, take a city tour bus that will cost about $30.00 US.
You’ll see place like the Colosseum, which was inaugurated in 80 AD with spectacles and games for wild animals. Gladiators were also killed in combat there.
During your stay, don’t forget about the shopping and true Italian food to dine on. But if you can’t get enough while in Rome, you can travel by train to Venice and Florence which is only a couple of hours away.
