ʻO ka piʻi ʻana o nā uku mokulele i hōʻea i nā milestone hou i ka pule i hala me ka uku no nā uluna a me nā pākeke a me ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā uku no nā tiketi makana pinepine.
Ua hoʻomaka ʻo JetBlue e hoʻopaʻa i $7 no kahi hui uluna-a-blanket hou e hiki ai i nā mea holo ke mālama.
Ua hoʻokumu ʻo US Airways i nā uku kaʻina hana no nā tikiki lele pinepine e kūʻai ana i ka poʻe lele e hoʻopaʻa pūnaewele ma ka pūnaewele $30 no kahi mokulele ʻāina a me $40 no kahi kokoke i nā wahi honua āpau. He $55 ke kumu kūʻai o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana ma ke kelepona no ka huakaʻi ʻāina, $80 no nā mokulele Hawaiʻi a me $90 no nā mokulele honua. He $250 ke kumukūʻai no ka hoʻololi ʻana ma Hawaii, trans-Atlantic a i ʻole trans-Pacific.
Ke ulu nei ka nui o nā uku mokulele, e piʻi wikiwiki ana, a huhū a huikau paha nā mea lele. Wahi a nā mokulele he pono nā uku no ka mea ua loaʻa iā lākou ka piʻi nui o ke kumukūʻai o ka wahie mokulele.
"Ke manaʻo nei au he maunu a me ka hoʻololi ʻana kēia ʻano ala carte o ke kaomi ʻana i ka poʻe huakaʻi," wahi a Jeff Kahne, ka mea aʻoaʻo ma San Antonio. "Hiki lākou iā mākou me kahi kumukūʻai kumu a laila hoʻomaka e hoʻopaʻa i nā uku."
"Ke ho'āʻo nei nā mokulele e hoʻopau i nā kumukūʻai," wahi a David Castelveter, ka pelekikena hope o ka Air Transport Association, kahi hui kālepa ʻoihana. E kūʻai ana ka wahie Jet i nā mokulele $61.2 biliona i kēia makahiki, i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me $ 20 biliona i ka makahiki i hala, wahi āna.
ʻO ka loaʻa kālā kiʻekiʻe e kōkua i ka uku ʻana i kēlā mau lilo. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo US Airways i ka pule i hala he $400 miliona a $500 miliona i kēlā me kēia makahiki mai kāna hoʻolālā kumukūʻai a la carte, ʻo ia hoʻi ka uku ʻana i kahi ʻeke i nānā mua ʻia, nā mea inu ʻole a me ka hoʻoili ʻana i nā tiketi makana pinepine.
ʻOkoʻa nā uku i uku ʻia i nā poʻe holo kaʻa e ka mokulele, a ʻoi aku ka nui o nā ʻokoʻa, e like me ka USA TODAY survey o nā kumukūʻai maʻamau o 15 mau mokulele no nā huahana a me nā lawelawe i loaʻa i ka poʻe kaʻa kaʻa ma nā mokulele kūloko. Ua nānā ʻia nā uku no nā huahana a me nā lawelawe he 19.
Ua ʻike ʻia ke ana ʻana:
• ʻElua wale nō mokulele —— Komohana Hema a me Spirit —— ʻaʻohe uku keu no ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka lele ma ke kelepona. Hiki ke loaʻa pinepine nā kumukūʻai tiketi ma ka pūnaewele.
• ʻOi aku ma mua o ka hapalua o nā mokulele e uku hou aku no kahi noho i makemake ʻia, e like me ka poʻe me ka lumi wāwae ʻē aʻe, kokoke i mua o ke keʻena a i ʻole ma kahi ala.
• ʻAʻole uku ka hapa nui o nā mokulele no ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka tikiki lele pinepine ma ka pūnaewele, akā aneane pau nā uku no ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana ma ke kelepona.
• ʻAʻole uku ka hapa nui o nā mokulele no kahi ʻeke i hoʻopaʻa mua ʻia, akā ʻo Southwest wale nō ʻaʻole e uku no ka ʻeke ʻelua.
• Ke piʻi nei ka heluna o nā mokulele i nā mea inu ʻona a me nā mea ʻai ʻai ʻole, a ke kūʻai ʻia nei kekahi mau meaʻai no $10 a ʻoi aku paha.
ʻO nā uku o nā mokulele, ʻōlelo ʻo Kahne, i kekahi manawa e like me ka mokulele, "e hana ana i ka lele i Hoboken ʻelua i ka mea i haʻi ʻia mai iā mākou."
ʻO ka ulu ʻana o nā uku he paʻakikī ke hoʻomaopopo a ʻaʻole i hōʻike maopopo ʻia i nā poʻe holo kaʻa, wahi a Kate Hanni, ka luna hoʻokele o Coalition for an Airline Passengers' Bill of Rights, he mea kākoʻo pono kūʻai. "Aia ka haunaele a me ka huhū ma nā wahi a pau," wahi āna.
ʻAʻole ʻae ka Castelveter o ATA i ka huikau o nā mea lele. "Ua maopopo loa nā mokulele i ka hoʻolaha ʻana i kā lākou uku a me nā uku," wahi āna. "Eia kekahi, ʻo ka hoʻokomo ʻana i nā uku lawelawe ke kumuhana o nā moʻolelo media he nui, ua hoʻonui ʻia ka ʻike o nā mea kūʻai aku."
I ka mahina o Mei, ua hoʻolaha ka 'Oihana Hoʻokele i nā mokulele e hōʻike koʻikoʻi i nā uku o nā ukana i kā lākou pūnaewele a me nā hoʻolaha paʻi. Ua ʻōlelo ka ʻoihana i nā mokulele me ka uku no ka ʻeke i nānā mua ʻia e haʻi i nā mea kūʻai aku i ka wā e hoʻopaʻa nei lākou i kahi tiketi ma ke kelepona.
E pili ana i ka piʻi ʻana o nā kumukūʻai mokulele, ua ʻōlelo ka DOT i kahi ʻōlelo iā USA TODAY ʻaʻohe ona "mana e hoʻoholo i ka mea e hiki ai i kahi mokulele ke uku no kāna mau lawelawe." Akā ke ʻike nei ʻo ia "ke wehe nei nā mokulele a me nā ʻelele tiketi i nā uku kikoʻī mai kā lākou mau mokulele i hoʻolaha ʻia, a e hoʻomau mākou e nānā i ka ʻoihana e hōʻoia i ka hoʻolaha ʻana o kēia mau uku a hōʻike ʻia i nā poʻe holo."
Wahi a ka DOT, ʻaʻohe ona mana ma luna o nā uku koho e like me nā mea ʻai a me nā mea inu.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo JetBlue he mea maikaʻi loa kāna uku koho no ka uluna a me ka pākeke no ka mea e loaʻa ana i nā fliers kahi ʻeke halihali no nā mea a me kahi coupon $5 mai kahi mea kūʻai kūʻai aupuni. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o nā uluna a me nā pākeke a ʻoi aku ka maʻemaʻe ma mua o nā mea i hāʻawi mua ʻia me ka uku ʻole, wahi a ka waha ʻōlelo ʻo Alison Eshelman.
ʻO Martin Israelsen, ʻo Martin Israelsen, ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu i ka punaewele huakaʻi hele ʻo WebReserv.com, ʻōlelo ʻo ia ʻaʻole makemake ʻo ia e "uku i ʻelua mau kālā keu" no kahi uluna, akā ʻaʻole pono ʻo ia e uku ʻia no kahi pale ma nā huakaʻi i ke kakahiaka nui i ke anuanu o ka hale kaʻa.
ʻO nā uku hoʻoili o ka US Airways no nā tikiki lele pinepine "ua manaʻo ʻia e kōkua i ka hoʻopau ʻana i kekahi o kā mākou piʻi kālā," wahi a ka waha ʻōlelo ʻo Valerie Wunder. "Ma ka awelika, he $700 ke kumukūʻai o US Airways no kēlā me kēia huakaʻi holo kaʻa e lawe i kahi kaʻa."
ʻO ka nui o nā mea lele, ʻaʻole naʻe i aloha.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Lori Strumpf, he kākāʻōlelo ma Wakinekona, DC, e lele ana i ʻehiku mau manawa i kēlā me kēia pule, ʻo ke kumukūʻai o ka tiketi e pono e komo i nā ʻeke, nā meaʻai a me nā noho ma ka mokulele. "He kākā'ōlelo wau e hāʻawi i ka ʻōlelo aʻo," wahi āna. "Inā wau i ʻōlelo i kēia manawa ua uku ʻia koʻu lā no kaʻu ʻoihana a pono kaʻu mea kūʻai aku e uku hou no kaʻu ʻōlelo aʻo, he mea lapuwale ia."
ʻO Marc Belsher, he mea aʻoaʻo mālama olakino ma Newberg, Ore., Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia e lele ana i kēlā me kēia pule ʻelua a ʻike ʻole ʻia nā uku. "E hāʻawi mai iaʻu i ke kumukūʻai o ka tiketi, e ʻae mai iaʻu e hoʻoholo i ka ʻike a mai hoʻonāukiuki mai iaʻu ma ka nickel-a-diming iaʻu i kēlā me kēia uku koko," wahi āna.
Mai ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana a hiki i ka ʻai ʻai ʻana ma luna o ka moku, hoʻonui ʻia nā uku mokulele
Hōʻike kēia mau pakuhi i nā uku a nā mokulele US e uku maʻamau i nā mea kaʻa ma nā mokulele kūloko. He ʻokoʻa paha nā uku ma mua o ka mea i hōʻike ʻia, ma muli o ke kūlana o kēlā me kēia huakaʻi. No ka laʻana, hiki ke ʻokoʻa nā uku hoʻololi tiketi ma muli o ka hoʻololi ʻia ʻana o kahi tiketi ma ka pūnaewele, ma o ka ʻōnaehana hoʻopaʻa kelepona o kahi mokulele a i ʻole ma o kahi ʻelele huakaʻi. ʻOi aku paha ka uku o nā noho i makemake ʻia ma kekahi alahele a i ʻole kekahi ʻano mokulele, a i ʻole he ʻokoʻa paha no nā ʻano noho like ʻole. He nui nā mokulele e hoʻemi a haʻalele paha i kekahi mau uku no ka lele pinepine ʻana a i ʻole no ka poʻe kaʻa e uku piha ana i nā uku kaʻa.
