The Global Business Travel Association
"encourages" the Department of Transportation "to move quickly
and require airlines to provide ancillary fee and fare information on any
platform selling airline inventory, not just airline websites,"
although GBTA is not "dictating specifics on how the fee data be
transmitted or displayed," according to a statement.
"In its next phase of rulemaking," the association
stated, "we strongly encourage DOT to address the display of fees and fares at all points of sale. We will work with DOT to establish a framework for
transparency so travelers and booking agents can understand the total cost of
travel before buying a ticket."
