Airlines make flyers pay for convenience through nose

If you thought booking of your flight tickets by sitting at the comfort of your home is ‘convenience’, then think again.
For, in times of financial distress, many airlines, including Jet Airways — the market leader in the country’s civil aviation sector, have begun charging a ‘convenience fee’ on all tickets booked on their websites.
In case of bookings on Jet Airways and Jet Konnect flights, the fee amount ranges from Rs100 for domestic travel and Rs200 for global travel per seat in the economy class and Rs200 for domestic travel and Rs400 for global travel per seat in the business class. Also, the charges are non-refundable and are applicable to every passenger even though the ticket might have been booked in a group, as in the case of a family.
