If you're thinking about booking a flight to get to a cruise (or even just booking a flight period), and if you want to avoid a tax increase, book now. Well, not exactly right now…but before Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n

That's when new fees go into effect throughout the U.S. for air travelers.<\/p>\n

It's a little confusing, as fee increases often are. These increases come from the Transportation Security Administration<\/a>, already not the most popular organization in travel, and here's what we've been able to cull from the news:<\/p>\n

• TSA fee of $2.50 per leg and capped at $5 per one-way trip or $10 per round trip will now be $5.60 per one-way and $11.20 per round-trip…but here's the catch: That's if there are no stops.<\/p>\n

• Layovers will be $5.60 for each leg if the stopover is four hours or more.<\/p>\n

So when you're looking at those cheap, multi-city fares that you're willing to tolerate in the interest of cost, you have to factor in the TSA.<\/p>\n

The increase will be rolled into your ticket price when you select, not when you check out and pay.<\/p>\n
