Disability Travel - News: Delta refuses to waive phone booking fee for blind traveler

Delta screws up again:

So her dander rose when she tried to book two tickets on Delta Air Lines for a long weekend in Chicago this past June and the airline told her she'd have to pay an extra $50 -- $25 per person -- to buy the tickets over the phone instead of online.

After Barton explained that she was blind and couldn't use the website, the call center representative insisted that the fee couldn't be waived. That person's supervisor said the same thing. So did the two people she called at the airline's Atlanta headquarters.

I hate all those stupid fees! :mad: Still, it's nice that the airline will waive them. I hope they will actually do the retraining, or updating, of the people at the call centers.

Those aren't fees, that's outright theft.
