Atlanta, Georgia (CaymanMama.com) — Holiday travelers should brace themselves for hiked up prices this season as most of the largest airlines in the nation have upped their surcharges on the busiest days of travel from $10 to $20.

Customers can expect to pay raised surcharges for a number of flights within the county covering a span of over a dozen peak holiday travel days including Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s.

Among those upping their surcharges on some routes are Delta, American, United, US Airways and Northwest, said Tom Parsons, who heads up the discount travel site Bestfares.com.

According to the Associated Press, “Tim Smith, spokesman for Fort Worth-based American Airlines, confirmed the higher surcharges Monday. He said that although airlines are filing the increases as a surcharge this time, ‘fares on those peak days have always tended to be higher. It’s a matter of supply and demand.’”
