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.)

ReplyDeleteI 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.
