C o n f e r e n c e s & E v e n t s N ews WHO’S MAKING $$ OFF TRAVELERS Now this is news! Airlines aren’t the only ones making profits from travelers. So are others associated with making people suffer, like airports and airport stores. Reportedly, all companies throughout the travel industry are making higher profits than the airlines themselves. This is according to an article in Business Travel News magazine. Naturally, airlines are increasing profits with ancillary fees, while the others are doing so by providing unnecessary and inconvenient products and services at high costs. Rarely at airports can travelers find sitdown restaurants, and when they can, they’re never open when they’re needed — and they usually don’t serve very good food. Other rare commodities are: foreign newspapers at international airports, pharmacies and electrical outlets to recharge batteries.
