Next the Maximum fare for these roots may also be specified either by Government or the Air lines themselves. The maximum fare canot exceed 3 times the minimum fare. some such checks and balances are provided things would be reasonable hassel free. more

In case of medical emergency, airlines must charge normal fare, otherwise it should be treated as exploitation. This type of passengers may not be more than 0.5% per flight. Airlines should keep such medical certificates with them for verification lateron. We should not forget that those who opt for air travel for medical treatment can pay any amount for fare. more
