Expedia scrapping fees permanently

News - Travel

Remember back in March when Expedia and some of the other OTA guys announced they'd be temporarily suspending booking fees? Right. Well, turns out that's going permanent. No more booking fees, and no more change fees or cancel fees on any hotel, car rental, cruise reservations, and the majority of flight reservations. Will the other sites follow? They did last time. As it stands, Orbitz flight booking fees range from $6.99 to $11 and Travelocity charges $5 to $15. And don't forget, change fees mentioned are additional to whatever wacky and infuriating fees your airline will impose.
