An important criterion that forms the price of air tickets is the fuel surcharge

For a whole year every worker is waiting for a long-awaited vacation. When this day comes, the question arises: where to go, where to relax? Anyway, our compatriots choose foreign resorts. Everyone has their own reasons for this.

In recent years, the domestic tourist has become more savvy in matters relating to recreation abroad. However, many citizens still can not understand, because of what the price of the voucher for booking is higher than the amount specified by the tour operators. In fact, everything is very simple. There is such a thing as fuel surcharge. So, the cost of this additional fee is not always indicated by tour operators. To understand this issue, it is necessary to understand what the fuel surcharge is. In simple words, this is a certain amount of money, which the tourist is forced to pay extra to his formed package because of the rise in price of aviation kerosene.

There is quite a logical question: why the fuel collection tour operators do not include the price immediately? Everything is extremely simple. Prices for tours are formed a few months before the start of active sales. The key moment of any tour is the transportation of tourists with the help of air transport. In a few months, the price of fuel for aviation can jump. It depends on the world prices for "black gold". As you can see, the factors that influence the formation of a lot of tours. And that's not to mention the cheating agencies. Despite the work of fuel market analysts, it is difficult to calculate the dynamics of the decline or increase in oil prices. So it turns out that the tourist pays one amount during the booking of the tour, and several months before the flight, he must pay between $ 40 and $ 100, depending on the policy of the carrier's company.

Can I pay a fuel surcharge? Yes, but the carrier can not give you a package of documents necessary for the flight, starting from the fact that the total cost of the flight under the contract is not paid. However, there are cases when tour operators take all the fuel charges for themselves. This happens in a situation where the customer made a full payment for the flight under the contract. If at this point the fuel surcharge has increased, the tour operator must take care of all the expenses.

The fact is that this additional fee is collected by almost all carriers. The beloved Turkey has not become an exception, which pleases with its democratic prices, visa-free regime and wonderful places for recreation. Our brother just loves to luxuriate in the Mediterranean, walk through the ancient streets of Antalya. A trip to this country can last from three to 30 days. Whatever it was, the cost of the tour, of course, will have to add a fuel surcharge to Turkey. Since 2012, the size of the surcharge will be about $ 40 per person.

But the fuel fee "Transaero" in this country will cost the tourist $ 80. This airline is the first private carrier that started operations in 1991. The company's fleet includes modern aircraft, which meet all world quality standards. The company provides internal flights, while ensuring high service and quality of service. The fuel collection of the firm varies by price depending on directions. Everything depends on world oil prices. Transaero is the only domestic air carrier that provides its customers with four classes of services.

All of us have become hostages of world prices, which dictate policy in various fields. Despite all the surcharges and cheating, with the right choice of the tour vacation will seem to you a paradise. It is just necessary to study this issue in detail and draw the right conclusions. Informed - means armed.
