NBTA called on the U.S. Department of Transportation to "use its existing and common sense authority to direct the airlines to provide full transparency" on ancillary fees

. According to comments provided by NBTA to a congressional subcommittee examining airline fees, "ancillary fees are ultimately part of the total net fare. It is imperative that airlines provide full transparency to the public, including corporate travel managers and travel agencies, with regard to all fares, fees and other charges related to transporting passengers and their luggage, as well as booking, ticketing, billing, and fulfilling those services." NBTA also wrote that it formed a task force to seek solutions for challenges related to ancillary fees. It includes representatives from AirPlus, Amadeus, American Airlines, American Express, ARC, Airilne Tariff Publishing Company, BCD Travel, Concur, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, MasterCard, Monsanto, Sabre, Thomson Reuters, 3sixtysourcing, TRX and US Airways.
