Survey: Airline Fees Complicate Total Trip Cost Calculations
The airlines' continuing strategy to unbundle products and pricing remains troublesome for corporate travel managers keen to measure total trip costs. According to a recent survey conducted by the Association of Corporate Travel Executives, just 20 percent of 297 corporate buyers said their organizations track total trip expenditures "very well." When asked if they tabulate total trip cost for top destinations, more than three quarters of respondents said "no."

Baking And Data Reporting
What the heck does baking have to do with travel data reporting, you ask?
It makes for an interesting metaphor. I used this concept in the speech I gave at the ACTE Canada conference last week in Toronto. I’ll admit that my skit was a bit hokey, but the points about poor preparation of data, half-baked analysis and hanging Christmas lights on plain-jane data were too good to pass up.

For years airlines have made statements that the merchant fees that they pay when they accept cards as a form of payment were ‘next on the list’ of distribution costs that would be in focus. And more recently we are beginning to see evidence that this is true with examples such as United Airlines' reported change of policy when it comes to [some] travel management companies' use of their merchant agreement and KLM’s announcement of a credit card surcharge of EUR 7.50 being debated.
