US Airways (LCC)

The U.S. Department of Transportation said Monday it has fined US Airways (NYSE:LCC) $40,000 for not disclosing full ticket prices on its Website, according to Market Watch. The Tempe, Ariz., airline was accused of not providing additional taxes and fees on initial searches for one-way flights, nor any notice that the additional costs would be added later in the transaction.
The DOT requires Internet advertising to display the full fare after taxes and fees on the first screen, along with a hyperlink that takes consumers to a page that describes the additional charges, according to the agency.
