In an era when air travelers are getting nickeled-and-dimed for everything from an in-flight sandwich to curbside bag check, here's some relief: Several online travel agencies have waived air-ticket booking fees.
Hotwire, Priceline and Cheapotravel (a sister site to Travelocity) have dropped most of their fees, $5 to $10 per ticket, at least through the summer.
For now, however, Expedia, Orbitz and Travelocity are continuing their fees, about $5 to $12 for ticket purchases and such features as flight-delay notification and rebooking assistance.
Regardless of those perks, consumers increasingly are using online agencies to research fares, then are booking on airline sites which don't impose fees.
