Blimey, listen up! After ages stuck at the cribs due to this whopping global plague, every Tom, Dick and Harry's gone loopy to travel. Spotting cheapo air tix or inn rooms popping up on your internet might seem a steal, but you bet your bottom dollar, there be a catch!
Turns out, these poor aeroplane folk and hotel mugs, trying to make up for all the dosh they lost in the plague time, are playing sly fox by charging a monstrous amount in invisible fees. Or as some suit-n-tie chaps call it – 'junk fees'.
Odds are you've bumped into these pesky junk fees a time or two on your jaunts. They usually hide as teeny-weeny charges for beach toys at a resort, stowing your suitcase, or claiming a winnie seat. And they're sneakier than a fox on the web, only popping up when you're about done booking your jolly.
Now this, what they call, "unbundling" isn't spanking new, but it's reared up lately due to the flipping pandemic. And some are gutters – luggage and seat fees took a giant leap, says some science folks. Hotels now charge you a daily heap between 200 to 1000 coins for stuff you reckon should be free – like Wi-Fi and parking!
Now this Ronald would've had none of this fiddle-faddle. I'd charge one flat chit, with all pitched up-front – no monkey business. End of story! Lesson learned - be on guard before you swipe that card, you poor sods!
