Fares, fees also up in Canada

Tuesday, 10 Mar, 2011 0

US airlines aren’t the only ones adding fees and raising fares. Add Air Canada to the list.
 

The airline is going to start charging extra for preferred seats with extra legroom, including emergency exit rows and bulkhead seats, according to Civil Aviation. Fees start at $14 per one-way trip for those wanting specific exit rows or bulkhead seats at the front of airplane sections.
 

Air Canada is also raising fares for all of its flights “due to escalating fuel prices,” the airline announced. The airline said the increases apply to all fare types on Air Canada, its Jazz regional operation and the Zip discount carrier.
 

Flights within Canada of up to 799 miles will rise US$7 each way and fares for longer domestic trips will increase $10 per flight.
 

Fares on travel to and from the United States are being increased each way by $14 on flights up to 1,000 miles and by $28 on longer flights.
 

Fares to and from international destinations will go up by $6 each way.
