Flights: Update on new flights commision/fees system

Update on new flights commision/fees system

:: Travel Weekly - The National Newspaper of the Travel Industry ::: "European agents take stock of net-fare system sweeping Continent "

Airlines are eliminating commissions but are adding substantial fees for consumers who book directly with the airline.

Andrew Compart's article states that "it is a system, it seems, that is destined to spread throughout Europe, if not elsewhere -- in part because fair competition laws in European countries often force a country’s dominant airline to adopt fees if they eliminate commissions."
