Airlines Add New 'Peak Travel' Fare Hike for Summer Flights

Don't be surprised if you find a new hidden fee tacked onto the flight for your summer vacation this year. Major airlines like Delta and American Airlines are adding a little-known "peak travel" surcharge on nearly all flights this summer, reports USA Today. The "peak travel" fee ranges from $10 to $30, applied to both departure and return flights, and is included in the cost of the ticket.
