Airfare Prices Could Get More Confusing As DOT Moves To Weaken Full Fare Advertising Rules

Pointify is tracking this devaluation for the points-and-miles community.

DOT is proposing to weaken airfare advertising rules by allowing taxes, fees, and fare components to appear as prominently as the total price, instead of requiring the all-in fare to stand out most. The agency is also asking whether it should repeal the full fare rule entirely, a change airlines have long wanted but one that could make airfare shopping more confusing for consumers.
