Major Airlines Add Up To $50 Holiday Or Peak Travel Airfare Surcharges Through August 15, 2010.

We have seen Delta Airlines, Northwest Airlines and United Airlines, American Airlines, Continental Airlines, and other carriers adding more holiday and peak travel airfare surcharges that will cost you more to travel this year.


The writing is on the wall. If you want to travel on a peak holiday or high demand travel period, such as spring break or Easter, it's going to cost you more in 2010.

Travelers should make every attempt to avoid flying on the peak travel days if they expect to fly on the Bestfares. Some airlines are adding surcharges throughout the entire summer of 2010 so be prepared to pay more this upcoming summer.

Listed below are the current holiday and peak surcharge dates. Currently JetBlue, Southwest, Virgin and AirTran do not have peak travel surcharges. AirTran did impose a peak travel surcharge but has since pulled these charges.
