Ukunyuka kwemali yezindiza kuyabadida futhi kubathukuthelise abagibeli babo

Izindleko ezikhuphukayo zendiza zifinyelele ingqopha-mlando ngeviki eledlule ngenkokhiso yemicamelo nezingubo zokulala kanye nezindleko zokuqopha amathikithi emiklomelo ahambahamba njalo.
I-JetBlue iqale ukushaja u-$7 ngesethi entsha yomcamelo nengubo abagibeli abangayigcina.

I-US Airways isungule izinkokhelo zokucubungula amathikithi ahamba njalo azobiza ukubhuka kwamapheshana ku-inthanethi u-$30 wendiza yasekhaya kanye no-$40 cishe kuzo zonke izindawo zomhlaba. Ukubhuka ngocingo kubiza amapheshana angu-$55 ohambweni lwasekhaya, u-$80 wezindiza zaseHawaii kanye no-$90 ezindizeni eziningi zamazwe ngamazwe. Ushintsho eHawaii, ithikithi le-trans-Atlantic noma le-trans-Pacific elivame ukundiza libiza u-$250.

Izindleko zezindiza zikhula ngenani, zikhula ngokushesha, futhi zithukuthelisa noma zidide amandiza amaningi. Izinkampani zezindiza zithi imali ekhokhwayo iyadingeka ngoba ihlaselwe wukwenyuka okukhulu kwentengo yamafutha endiza.

"Ngicabanga ukuthi lena indlela ye-la carte yokucindezela abahambi ngokuyisisekelo iwukuyenga nokushintsha," kusho umhambisi wezindiza uJeff Kahne, onguchwepheshe waseSan Antonio. "Basikhokhisa ngemali yokugibela bese beqala ukupakisha imali."

Izinkampani zezindiza “zizama ukunciphisa izindleko,” kusho uDavid Castelveter, iphini likamongameli we-Air Transport Association, okuyiqembu labahwebi embonini. Uphethiloli weJet uzodla izindiza zezindiza u-$61.2 billion kulo nyaka, uma kuqhathaniswa namaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-20 ngonyaka odlule, uthi.

Imali engenayo ekhokhwayo ephezulu izosiza ekukhokheleni lezo zindleko. I-US Airways ithe ngesonto eledlule ilindele izigidi ezingama- $400 kuya ku- $500 wezigidi minyaka yonke ohlelweni lwayo lokukhokha i-la carte, okuhlanganisa ukushaja isikhwama esilayishwa kuqala, iziphuzo ezingezona utshwala kanye nokucubungula amathikithi aphuma njalo.

Izinkokhelo ezikhokhiswa abagibeli ziyahlukahluka ngezindiza, futhi umehluko ungaba mkhulu, ngokusho kocwaningo lwe-USA TODAY lwezindleko ezivamile zezinkampani zezindiza ezingu-15 ngemikhiqizo namasevisi atholakalayo ukuqeqesha abagibeli ezindizeni zasekhaya. Amashaji emikhiqizo namasevisi angu-19 ahlolwe.

Ucwaningo luthole ukuthi:

• Izinkampani zezindiza ezimbili kuphela—— i-Southwest ne-Spirit—— azinayo imali eyengeziwe yokubhuka indiza ocingweni. Izintengo zamathikithi ezishibhile, nokho, zingase zitholakale ku-inthanethi.

• Izinkampani zezindiza ezingaphezu kwesigamu zikhokhisa imali eyengeziwe ukuze uthole isihlalo esithandwayo, njengalezo ezinegumbi lokuphumula elengeziwe, eduze nangaphambili kwendlu noma emaphaseji.

• Izinkampani zezindiza eziningi azikhokhisi imali ukuze zibhukhe ithikithi lamahhala lokundiza njalo ku-inthanethi, kodwa cishe zonke zikhokhisa ukubhuka ocingweni.

• Izinkampani zezindiza eziningi azikhokhisi isikhwama sokuqala esilayishwayo, kodwa iNingizimu-ntshonalanga kuphela ayikhokhisi esesibili.

• Inani elandayo lezinkampani zezindiza likhokhisa iziphuzo ezingezona utshwala nokudla okulula, kanti okunye ukudla kuthengiswa ngama-$10 noma ngaphezulu.

Izindleko zezinkampani zezindiza, uKahne uthi, ngezinye izikhathi zilingana nemali yendiza, "okwenza i-hop iye e-Hoboken iphindwe kabili kulokho esikutsheliwe."

Inani elikhulayo lezimali ngezinye izikhathi kunzima ukuliqonda futhi alidalulwa ngokucacile kubagibeli, kusho u-Kate Hanni, umqondisi omkhulu we-Coalition for the Airline Passengers' Bill of Rights, ummeleli wamalungelo abathengi. Uthi: “Ukudideka nentukuthelo kugcwele yonke indawo.

UCastelveter we-ATA akavumelani nokuthi amaflaya adidekile. "Izinkampani zezindiza ziye zacaca kakhulu ekukhulumeni esidlangalaleni amanani azo kanye nezindleko," usho kanje. "Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukwethulwa kwemali yesevisi kube yindaba yezindaba eziningi zabezindaba, okukhulise ukuqwashisa kwamakhasimende."

NgoMeyi, uMnyango Wezokuthutha wazisa izinkampani zezindiza ukuthi zibonise ngokugqamile izindleko zemithwalo yemithwalo eshekiwe kumawebhusayithi azo nasezikhangisweni eziphrintiwe. Le nhlangano ithi izinkampani zezindiza ezinemali yesikhwama esilayishwa kuqala kufanele zikhulume ngazo kubathengi uma bebhukha ithikithi ngocingo.

Mayelana nokukhuphuka kwezindleko zezindiza, i-DOT esitatimendeni eya e-USA TODAY yathi “ayinalo igunya lokunquma ukuthi inkampani yendiza ingakukhokhisa ini ngamasevisi ayo.” Kodwa iyaqaphela ukuthi “izinkampani zezindiza nama-ejenti amathikithi ahlanganisa izimali ezithile ezinkokhelweni zazo zezindiza ezikhangisiwe, futhi sizoqhubeka nokuqapha imboni ukuze siqinisekise ukuthi lezi zimali zikhangiswa ngokucacile futhi zidalulwe kubagibeli.”

I-DOT ithi ayinalo igunya phezu kwezindleko ozikhethela njengalezo zokudla neziphuzo.

I-JetBlue ithi inkokhiso yayo yokuzikhethela yomcamelo nengubo yimali enhle ngoba amaflaya athola isikhwama ogibela naso sezinto kanye nesigqebhezana esingu-$5 kumthengisi kazwelonke. Imicamelo nezingubo zokulala zisezingeni eliphezulu futhi zihlanzekile kunalezo ebezihlinzekwa mahhala, kusho okhulumela uMnyango u-Alison Eshelman.

UMartin Israelsen ozinze e-Atlanta, ongumsunguli wewebhusayithi yokubhukha i-WebReserv.com, uthi akanandaba “ukukhokha amarandi ambalwa ngaphezulu” ngomcamelo, kodwa akufanele akhokhiswe ngengubo yokulala. izindiza zasekuseni uma kubanda endlini yabagibeli.

Izindleko zokucubungula amathikithi ahamba njalo e-US Izindiza “zihloselwe ukusiza ukunciphisa izindleko zethu ezikhuphukayo,” kusho umkhulumeli wesifazane u-Valerie Wunder. "Ngokwesilinganiso, kubiza i-US Airways u-$700 uhambo oluya nokubuya ukuthwala umgibeli."

Nokho, amaflaya amaningi awanaluzwela.

U-Lori Strumpf, onguchwepheshe eWashington, DC, ondiza izikhathi eziyisikhombisa ngesonto, uthi intengo yethikithi kufanele ihlanganise izikhwama, ukudla nanoma yisiphi isihlalo endizeni. Uthi: “Ngingumeluleki onikeza izeluleko. "Uma manje ngithi isilinganiso sami sosuku sisanda kukhokhela ingqalasizinda yami futhi ikhasimende lami kufanele likhokhe imali eyengeziwe ukuze ngithole izeluleko zami, kungaba yindida lokho."

UMarc Belsher, ongumeluleki wezempilo eNewberg, e-Ore., Uthi uhamba ngendiza njalo ngemva kwamasonto amabili futhi akatholi zimali ezamukelekayo. “Nginike inani lethikithi, ngivumele ngenze isinqumo esinolwazi futhi ningangicasuli ngokungifaka nge-nickel nokungidiza kuwo wonke amacala anegazi,” usho kanje.

Kusukela ekubhukheni ukuya ekudleni okudlayo okugibele, izindleko ezikhuphukayo zendiza ziyakhuphuka

Lawa mashadi abonisa izinkokhelo izindiza zase-US ezivame ukukhokhisa abagibeli babaqeqeshi ezindizeni zasekhaya. Izinkokhelo zingahluka kunalezo ezibonisiwe, kuye ngezimo zomhambi ngamunye. Isibonelo, izindleko zokushintsha ithikithi zingahluka kuye ngokuthi ithikithi lishintshwa ku-inthanethi, ngohlelo lwenkampani yendiza ukubhukha ucingo noma ngomenzeli wezohambo. Izindleko zezihlalo ezikhethwayo zingase zibe phezulu kweminye imizila noma ezinhlotsheni ezithile zezindiza, noma zingahluka ngezinhlobo ezihlukene zezihlalo. Izinkampani zezindiza eziningi zehlisa noma ziyekele izinkokhelo ezithile kwabahamba ngamabhanoyi njalo noma abagibeli abakhokha imali yokugibela yabaqeqeshi egcwele. Ulwazi olukulawa mashadi belusesikhathini kusukela ngoLwesihlanu, 8 Agasti. Siza i-USA TODAY igcine inolwazi. Izibuyekezo ze-imeyili neziphakamiso mayelana nalo mhlahlandlela wezindleko zendiza eya kwintatheli yase-USA TODAY u-Gary Stoller e- [i-imeyili ivikelwe]
