			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As if passengers weren&#8217;t already lining up to fork over extra money for luggage, meals and other items they&#8217;re used to receiving in their ticket price, airlines are adding on <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/marketsNews/idUSN2552137920090925" target="_blank">more fees</a> during holiday travel.</p>
<p>The fee, which will be under &#8220;miscellaneous fees&#8221; (isn&#8217;t that cute?), will be applied during Thanksgiving and New Year&#8217;s travel with certain airlines.</p>
<p>While the additional surcharge is only ten bucks, you have to hand it to these airlines: rather than drawing in more flies with honey, they made the bug spray just a wee big stronger.<span id="more-103"></span></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re making plans to travel on November 29, January 2, or January 3, you can expect the charge if you&#8217;re using Delta Air Lines, Northwest, US Airways Group Inc, United, or American Airlines.</p>
<p>And in American&#8217;s case, the charge applies <em>both ways, </em>ensuring that if you&#8217;re broke and you must travel, you won&#8217;t even be able to grab a Cinnabon or a coke during your layover.</p>
<p>Whether it&#8217;s traditional or not, during times of economical hardship it seems like a slap in the face to the American people to ask for the ten bucks you&#8217;re <em>already</em> asking to now be spent on a terrible  in-flight meal.</p>
<p>If airlines continue to hike up costs&#8211;especially for silly reasons like &#8220;busy days&#8221;&#8211;to cover for lack of passengers, they&#8217;re likely only going to be met with a <em>greater </em>lack of passengers.</p>
