As a result of soaring oil prices, there has been a remarkable hike in airfares making business travel a costly deal. To offset rising costs, airlines have also imposed fees for food, seat selection, pillows, blankets, headsets, checked luggage and anything else that isn’t bolted to the cabin floor.
Many airlines have also been shedding unprofitable routes and slashing capacity to survive, which makes finding an open seat at any price for a last minute trip a major ordeal for any business traveler. Unfortunately pouting, complaining and anger will not lower fuel prices and airlines’ operating costs. So it’s always to be an optimist and see the bright side of every scenario. Check out the outcomes of the current fuel price crisis that could comprise a silver lining and help placate the pain of business travel.
