Website publishing ‘hidden’ travel fees
By Richard N. Velotta, Las Vegas Sun
High on the aggravation list for anyone who travels is the growing number of fees airlines and hotels add to customers’ bills.
To try to help the public avoid any last-minute surprises, a longtime travel executive developed a website to teach people about the hidden costs.
Bill Maloney, a former transportation sales and marketing official, recently launched FeeZing. The beta version features databases of airline fees, as well as ancillary charges for hotels in Las Vegas and Orlando, Fla. Maloney said he is days away from launching a fee list for California hotels.
