The Federal Trade Commission announced a final rule requiring hotels and ticket vendors to include all service fees in total advertised prices, eliminating 'junk fees'.
This rule prohibits companies from obscuring mandatory charges, meaning businesses must now show total rates instead of separate advertised fees.
Sally French, a travel expert, noted how consumers often find unexpected price increases as they progress through the reservation process, highlighting the need for transparency.
Lina M. Khan emphasized that consumers deserve clarity on pricing upfront, avoiding the frustration of hidden fees that disrupt budgeting.
