The worst airline ever just got worser, and yes, that should be a word says Chip!
ABC Radio's correspondent Alex Stone joins Chip to discuss new COVID related airline surcharges announced by a major discount carrier.
Frontier Airlines announced today that they are going to begin charging customers an add-on surcharge for ‘COVID recovery’. They say they are charging you money on top of your fare to cover cleaning. And they say they charge the fee because they’re buying personal protective equipment for employees: "The COVID Recovery Charge offsets added costs to Frontier due to implementing Covid-19 related measures, such as increased sanitation and cleaning onboard the aircraft and in the airport, shields at the ticket counters and gate areas, and personal protective equipment for employees." To be clear: this is a surcharge, not a fee. A fee, by law, has to be optional so there’s a way to avoid it. That’s why Frontier and some others sell tickets for less at the airport, so they can legally impose an ‘online booking fee’. Surcharges are quoted as part of full price, so they’re not likely actually charging more money for tickets. But no matter how you look at it, in charging extra for on board cleaning, is Frontier saying that clean planes aren’t part of their basic product?
