What airline travel will look like in 2025
Description
Taking a flight can be expensive, and you could be facing new fees in the new year.
Air Canada has announced new charges for passengers picking their lowest fare option, so if you want to bring a carry on bag, or pick your seat, then you’ll have additional charges.
The federal government says it's disappointed by this news, but hasn’t said what action it will take.
Host Cormac Mac Sweeney speaks with John Gradek, an aviation management lecturer at McGill University about why airlines are charging you more, what options the government has, and whether increased competition in the airline industry can bring you some airfare relief.
