The Cheapest Fare In The Air®





PRESS RELEASE

AirScam Airways Keeps Fares Low for Customers

Naples, Fla., May 11, 2013  -- As part of its ongoing commitment to keeping fares as low as possible for its valued customers while maximizing returns for its shareholders, AirScam Airways (NYSE: ASS) today announced surcharges for five selected services.

“Customers have been paying for these services, whether they take advantage of them or not," said Topanga R. Dryden, Vice President of Revenue Enhancement. "These surcharges will be collected only from those who deem the services absolutely necessary and are willing to pay for them. This will enable AirScam to continue providing The Cheapest Fare In The Air® for our passengers, who have demonstrated their approval of our cost-cutting policies by voting AirScam as one of America’s top 100 airlines for two years in a row.”

The surcharges, which go into effect immediately, are as follows:

Motion sickness bags: Bags will no longer be placed in seat back pockets, but can be purchased, as needed, for $5. Passengers who use a call light to summon a flight attendant to request a bag will be assessed an additional $2.50. A disposal fee of $20 per bag will also be collected at the time of purchase.

Infant oxygen. FAA regulations currently require airlines to provide one complimentary oxygen mask for each fare-paying passenger. Customers traveling with infants under the age of two on their laps will have the option, in the unlikely event oxygen masks are required, of paying $100 to rent a mask for the child. They can do so by swiping a Visa® or Discover® card through the same credit card slot used to purchase life vests, a surcharge that went into effect earlier this year.

Reservations: Reservations booked at www.airscam.com will be assessed a $25 convenience surcharge. Passengers who book by calling 231-AIR-SCAM will pay an additional $50 (plus the cost of the call). There is no surcharge for reservations booked in person at the AirScam Service Center which is located at 1437 AirScam Way, Paducah, KY, and is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day that has an “s” in it.

Hand sanitization: Passengers who want to wash their hands after using a rest room (currently $5 per visit) can do so by swiping a Visa® or Discover® card through the credit card slot adjacent to the toilet tissue dispenser (currently $1 per sheet). This will activate a five-second flow of water from the faucet located above the sink. 

Disembarkation:  Customers who wish to use a jet bridge to exit an AirScam aircraft upon arrival at its destination will be assessed a $5 surcharge payable in cash. Those who wish to disembark by any other method may do so at no additional fee.

“Cost-conscious travelers who enjoy AirScam’s Cheapest Fare In The Air® service will be pleased we are continuing to enable them to fly from point A to point B for as little as possible,” Dryden said.  

Details about these and other surcharges can be found for a $5 click fee (payable via Visa® or Discover®) at www.airscam.com.

MEDIA NOTE: Photos of AirScam aircraft and video b-roll are available in the
press room section of airscam.com and may be downloaded for a $50 fee. (Visa® or Discover® only.)

  2. I didn't have to look far. There's already one airline that makes people pay for calls rather than providing a toll-free number, charges passengers for carry-ons (including briefcases), and makes customers pay for soda and snacks.
