News from the internet (journalist/scientific): many consumers should be faced with the situation when they purchase airline tickets: the final price of the ticket will not be known until the last step in the payment, because the final fare will need to be added to the cost of utility fuel, ranging from $100 to $250。
What exactly does the cost of building fuel mean? Why do we charge extra
The cost of building fuel is defined as airport construction and fuel surcharges. Airport construction fees were established to finance airport construction, while fuel surcharges were used by shipping companies as surcharges to reflect changes in fuel prices. The cost of building fuel is only a fee for passengers, but it has different objects of expenditure (airfields, shipping companies), which can be described as “each accounts”。
The surcharge charged for each item should not be directly consolidated or marked on the ticket purchase interface
In response, the online news+ journalists were connected and asked about many of the platform's guest uniforms. Concursor service indicates that when consumers choose to purchase, the external chain shows a separate face price, as such a display gives travellers a clear idea of its face price, and the cost of fuel is fixed. The passenger service also stated that the fares were shown on all the trips, and that it was not until the point of entry that could see how much was added to the engine fuel。
In addition, news plus journalists on the internet have found that some ticket buying platforms have “better fare” slogans above consumers when they buy train tickets, but that the cost of air tickets, plus the cost of oil for the machine, is still much higher than the cost of train tickets. For this phenomenon, the fly-in-the-show indicates that the recommendations are based only on the nominal price. The same view was expressed that the platform was only recommended and that “consumers could compare themselves to see what type of travel was required, as prices were also determined by the division”。
In response, the director of the professional committee on consumer law of the beijing city bar association indicated that this was an inadequate guarantee of the right of consumers to know. Even if the majority of ticket buyers would consider the price displayed at the time of the ticket selection to be a bare ticket price, with an additional portion of the fuel surcharge to be charged, the platform ticket purchase page does not serve as a prominent reminder to consumers whether the so-called ticket price contains fuel surcharges, which may be misleading to consumers。
In addition, in response to the “unnamed” jumper on the page at the time of the purchase of tickets, the cloud considered it to be further misleading to the consumer or to lead to a misperception by the consumer that, if the consumer was not reminded in a significant manner, the operator was not obliged to do so under the consumer protection act or the civil code. At the same time, if such propaganda is tempting, the consumer makes the wrong judgement and the platform finally achieves profitability, it may be suspected of false propaganda。
As operators, notification to consumers must be provided in such a way as to guarantee the consumer's full and complete right to know, not to be less informed, not to be given selectively, and not to be informed on the basis of consumer knowledge. It was suggested that the operator should adequately inform the consumer of the composition of the ticket price prior to the jump and ensure that the consumer made a well-informed choice and judgement about the jump。
Faced with the “inconsistent” price of airline tickets, some netizens have the question: is the cost of air fuel unique to our country? Is there a surcharge for the purchase of airline tickets abroad
In fact, the surcharge is internationally called airport taxes, airport construction fees, departure taxes for aircraft passengers, etc., and is used for airport maintenance and future construction. The composition of international airline fares is usually much more complex than domestic air fares, with three of the most common international airline fares: departure taxes, transit taxes, and entry taxes, which are usually collected by airlines on behalf of local governments。
In addition to the taxes mentioned above, some countries have other well-known taxes and fees, and different countries have different requirements for taxes on international air tickets, such as federal transport taxes, passenger facilities, animal and animal immunization fees, customs user fees, immigration charges, security charges, etc., in addition to common entry taxes. An air ticket from beijing to new york at a total cost of approximately $6410 will be accompanied by taxes and fees of about $1,500, with surcharges/fees representing 23. 6 per cent of the price of the nudity ticket。
Canada is known to collect navigational fees, security charges and excise taxes in addition to airport fees and entry taxes, which are more expensive in total. The transit tax for each city in british columbia, canada (approximately 130 yuan), and for the neighbouring calgary (approximately 105 yuan), is 25 canadian dollars (approximately 130 yuan). The rates vary from country to country and the collection of items varies。
Since the charging of the price of aircraft fuel is the norm in the international shipping market, it is more important, as an operator, to face up to its existence, to clarify the composition of the fare, to dispel consumer misgivings in the process of buying tickets and to make more rational and correct consumer choices。
