An inconvienent fee


Budget airline call it a convenient fee. But frequent travellers argue it's an unfair fee.Airasia has since November been charging $5 for every one-way flight paid for online. This fee is added on to the ticket price.

Late last year, budget airlines Tiger Airways and Jetstar Asia also increased their convenience fee from $5 to $6 for every one-way flight booked online. So, if you buy a pair of return tickets from either of these two airlines online, you have to fork out $24 in convenience fees instead of $20 previously.

For a pair of AirAsia return tickets, you have to pay $20 in convenience fees. All three carriers said they have no plans to increase the convenient fee in the near future.
