European budget airlines have been rocked by a hefty fine from the Spanish government, raising questions about hidden fees, passenger rights, and the future of budget travel. Here's a breakdown of the situation: Budget Airlines Fined A Hefty Fine for "Abusive Practices": Spanish Government Cracks Down The Spanish Ministry of Consumer Affairs has levied a €150 million fine against four major low-cost carriers: easyJet, Ryanair, Vueling, and Volotea. This hefty fine, the largest ever issued by the ministry, targets practices deemed "abusive" towards passengers. Specifically, the airlines were penalized for: Charging extra for cabin luggage: Passengers were routinely required to pay additional fees to bring their carry-on bags onboard. Charging extra for seat selection: Passengers faced additional costs to choose seats together, particularly for families with children or dependents. These practices have been a growing concern for consumer groups, who argue they inflate travel costs and create an unfair pricing structure. Airlines Hit Back: Transparency, Pricing Freedom, and Passenger Choice The Spanish Airline Association (ALA), representing the airlines in question, has strongly contested the decision. Here's their argument: Disproportionate Fines: The ALA argues that the imposed fines are excessive and disproportionate to the alleged offenses. Right to Appeal: The airlines maintain their right to appeal the fines, potentially leading to a legal battle over the regulations. Consumer Choice and Pricing Freedom: The ALA asserts that the airlines have the right to set their fares, including offering baggage allowances and seat selection as paid add-ons. This, they argue, allows passengers who don't need these services to pay less for their tickets. The ALA argues that forcing airlines to include cabin baggage and seat selection in the base fare would raise overall ticket prices, potentially harming budget-conscious travelers. Consumer Groups Celebrate, Transparency and Fairness Take Center Stage Consumer groups, such as Facua, who initially filed the complaint, have hailed the decision as a victory for passenger rights. Here's their perspective: Long Fight for Fairness: Facua highlights its years-long struggle to push for government intervention and ensure transparency in airline pricing practices. Hidden Fees and Unfair Practices: Consumer groups argue that charging extra for essentials like cabin baggage creates a misleading fare structure and disproportionately burdens passengers. Transparency in Pricing: The focus lies on ensuring transparency in airline pricing so consumers can make informed choices based on the total cost, including any required add-on fees. Consumer advocates believe this decision sets a precedent for fairer treatment of passengers by promoting clear and upfront pricing.

Expatriate launch Air Kerala

IMC WEB DESK: Four airports without an airline of its very own! Sounds unsettling? No more! ‘Air Kerala’ obtained a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the Union Ministry of Civil Aviation.

The State with 4 airports finally gets its own airline

Afi Ahmed and Ayub Kallada, co-founders of Zettfly finally made the project see daylight.

The long-pending demand for Kerala’s own low-cost airline service to the Gulf has received a boost as ‘Air Kerala’ obtaining a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the Union Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA).

The Founders confirmed the organization will be headquartered in Kochi and will be operating domestic flights from Kerala.

Currently, planning to start operations with three ATR 72-600 aircraft till they procure Air Operator Certificate which will take another eight to nine months.

Air Kerala will operate regionally before it can operate international flights. Initially, connecting Tier 2 and 3 cities with Tier 1 cities in south India.

The Air Kerala project was first conceived by the Kerala Government in 2005. However, the government’s failure to go ahead prompted the two businessmen to purchase the domain airkerala.com.

Indian expats could soon be flying home for very economical prices as a low-cost airline is one step closer to reality.

Air Kerala will be the first regional airline of India’s southernmost state of Kerala.

The airline has drafted a connectivity blueprint for 53 airports and intends to recruit 350 personnel during its inaugural year of operations.

Major challenge for the start-up will be managing operating costs and taking on entrenched rivals who fly bigger capacity planes into the state.

AEROLÍNEAS LOW COST Y CINCO CONSEJOS PARA QUE NO SE CONVIERTAN EN EL TERROR DE TU VIAJE

Viajar en aerolíneas low cost nos posibilita recorrer grandes distancias a precios irrisorios, pero para poder tener una experiencia placentera debemos poner un poco de atención en la letra chica. Aquí cinco tips para aprovechar al máximo de sus beneficios sin que ellas se aprovechen de nosotras.

Imprimir el check in

Más de una vez he tenido que salir corriendo como loca, la noche anterior a un vuelo, en busca de una impresora. Es que si al momento de viajar no llevamos impreso el check in, aerolíneas como Easy Jet, Vueling  o RyanAir (entre otras) nos cobran para imprimirlo muchísimo más de lo que cuesta el pasaje ¡El descuido nos puede llegar a costar hasta 70 € en el aeropuerto!

Llevar un Carry on de las medidas especificadas y con el peso establecido.

¿Cuál es el peso permitido del equipaje de cabina? ¿Serán siete, ocho o diez kilos? Son las preguntas que nos hacemos previo a volar. Es importante chequear en la web de la aerolínea las políticas de equipaje, si no queremos pagar de más. Muchas veces no controlan el peso o las dimensiones de la valija, pero es mejor prevenir que curar, ¿No es cierto?

Si tenemos equipaje para despachar en la bodega, resulta más económico pagarlo al comprar el pasaje que una vez en el aeropuerto.

Reservar la comida al comprar el vuelo. Llevar Snacks.

Mi compañero de asiento en un vuelo que tuve de Londres hacia Estocolmo le pidió algo de tomar a la azafata, suponiendo que las bebidas estaban incluidas en el precio. Ella le contestó: "You get what you pay for". Si queremos comer o tomar algo lo tenemos que pagar, aunque sea un vaso de agua. El mejor momento para comprar la comida que disfrutaremos a bordo es cuando hacemos la reserva del vuelo.

Tener en cuenta antes de comprar el ticket de qué aeropuerto sale el vuelo y qué opciones de transporte tenemos para llegar ahí desde la ciudad

Cuando la limosna es grande hasta el santo desconfía... Vuelos de 9 € que emocionan hasta a la más reacia suelen salir de aeropuertos que quedan en otras ciudades.

Debemos tomar en consideración cuánto tiempo demoraremos en trasladarnos hacia el aeropuerto y cuánto dinero gastaremos en aquel traslado. 

Estar atentas en el momento de comprar el vuelo, de pagar el seguro de viaje o elegir asiento sólo si queremos

Muchas veces, al comprar el pasaje aéreo, ciertos extras pagos (como son el seguro de viaje, las comidas a bordo o la elección de determinado asiento dentro de la cabina) ya aparecen selectos (clickeados); todo ello dispuesto a fin de aprovecharse del comprador que esté un poco distraído. 

Leer muy detenidamente las opciones que son pagas al momento de la compra y tomar en consideración si queremos comprar la tarifa plana o con ciertos extras.
