It always amazes me , to see how gullible we humans can be. We all want alot for less! But, you know what, you just about get what you paid for. I despise all those sites, with their gimmicks.

It truly is a buyer beware world out there but the travel industry seems to confuse me more than the rest. I purchased to plane tickets for my employees last week. They were for an upcoming business trip three weeks from now. Price was $366 each. Within an hour I needed to purchase two more seats because my customer want an additional two members there. Price was now $580 each. One hour later? There were still seats available. I’m convinced that monkeys behind the curtain are just grabbing numbers out of a box. Look forward to reading more posts.

Note that tax recovery charge is _not_ a tax or includes their _own_ assessment of regulatory compliance. Which if you were particularly devious could include the amount you pay in taxes each year, the amount for mandatory health coverage, the amount for OSHA compliance….

Boston (not Boston metro, just the city of) is funky in that it adds an additional fee on every car rental – and this fee is per rental, not per day. So I’d expect if you were to rent the car for more than one day, the additional $17.93 will not be charged more than once.

i am surprised that rental car companies have not started creating various kinds of fees that the telecom giants (cell phone companies) have. i find it hilarious to read about all these different charges on my cell phone bill.
