If the TSA proposal goes through, fees will will be higher for security check-ins. Passengers now pay $5.60 per flight leg for the pat-down routine, and it will be raised $1 for each. Of course, that will be just one more add-on to your ticket that makes the advertised $99.99 bargain flight actually cost twice as much.

The US DOT hit the company for not providing food during four flight delays. The aircraft sat on the tarmac for many hours at New York and Atlanta airports last year. And no passenger got even one of those tiny foil bags containing two tiny pretzels.

Don’t believe the rumor that a family aboard one of the Delta flights, called the Donner party, took drastic means to get enough to eat. They refused to suffer the pangs of hunger, and dined delightfully with fellow passengers through those long hours on the tarmac.

OK, don’t get too excited. First of all, it’s the usual airline routine of advertising a base price. Then, with taxes, baggage, food, drink and other fees, the actual one-way, out-of-pocket cost is about $120. Of course, that’s still a fantastic bargain, with regular airline overseas prices starting at $500 and soaring skyward.

Also, the special low fare is for a limited number of flights only to and from several northeast US airports and destinations in Europe. And Norwegian may end the promotion at any time when bookings get heavier. For more info, go to www.norwegian.com

Of course, Sin City isn’t called that for nuthin’. Let’s call it the sin of gotcha about room rates! That bargain charge will show at the top of the list when you check out, but then is followed by all kinds of extra charges. They always raise what you actually pay to as much as double the advertised price.

Piled on are taxes and other add-ons, including the city’s infamous resort fees. Just recently, Caesars Palace, Paris, Rio, Bellagio, Mandalay Bay and MGM Grand upped their per-day extra charges to as much as $45 a night above their rates.

So, next time you book a $19.99 Las Vegas room, be prepared to pay an add-on charge that will subtract-off a considerable amount from your bank account!
