The U.S. Transportation Department rules that took effect Thursday require airlines to include grand canyon bus tours las vegas nv all mandatory taxes and fees in their advertised prices. But travel experts say the rules may have the unintended effect of reducing airline ticket sales by scaring away passengers grand canyon bus tours las vegas nv with prices that suddenly seem much higher than in the past.
Steve Lott, a spokesman for the Air Transport Assn., the trade group for the nation's airlines, said, "It's basic economics that when consumers believe that the price of a product or service is higher, then there is the potential that demand will fall."
When the rules were proposed more than a year ago, the nation's airlines protested, arguing that no other industry is required to wrap fees and taxes in advertised prices. Three carriers Southwest, Spirit and Allegiant filed a lawsuit to halt the rules. The lawsuit is still pending.
Spirit spokeswoman Misty Pinson said she was disappointed in Boxer's letter and refused to back down on the airline's position. Pinson added, "We would welcome the opportunity to sit down with her and discuss grand canyon bus tours las vegas nv the facts so she is fully informed."
