In face of rising airline charges, Travelers Advantage gives $50 rebate to club members

NORWALK, Conn., April 10, 2008 - As more airlines announce additional bag charges to offset near-record fuel prices, Travelers Advantage, a leading national travel company, has begun offering consumers relief at the airport.

Northwest Airlines recently joined United Airlines, Delta Airlines and US Airways in adding a $25 one-way luggage fee on second checked bags for coach-class passengers traveling within North America beginning May 5.

"The rising price of fuel is hitting us at the pump and in the airways, and we are hoping to stimulate travel while also keeping cash in our members' pocket," said Leslie Downey, director of communication for Travelers Advantage. "We aim to help travelers navigate more efficiently through a challenging economic landscape with an additional bag rebate."

As part of the rebate, active Travelers Advantage members can now receive a $50 rebate coupon - $25 reimbursement each way for additional bags - on airline trips booked worldwide through Travelers Advantage through the end of the year.

In recent months, airlines have added fees for more services following a 74 percent jump in jet fuel prices over the past year. Carriers are also seeking revenue from sources other than ticket sales as a slowing U.S. economy threatens travel demand. Other airline increases include fees for three or more checked bags, and hefty charges for bags weighing greater than 50 pounds.

Since 1985, Travelers Advantage has established itself on the leading edge of the leisure travel market in the United States, serving millions of members, and delivering millions in cash bonuses to travelers worldwide.

Travel and Tourism generates $1.3 trillion in economic activity in the U.S. every year, according to the Travel Industry Association of America. That equates to $3.4 billion a day, $148 million an hour, $2.4 million a minute and $40,000 a second. There were 1,992 million person trips (one person traveling 50 miles - one way or more away from home and/or overnight) in 2005, and a full 84 percent of those trips were for leisure travel. Top travel activities are shopping, attending social and/or family event and outdoor activities.
