A new website to be launched next month, FairAir.com recently announced that they will begin accepting tickets purchased on their website for resale with a number smaller carriers. Although no major carrier have signed on as of yet, FairAir says that it has convinced several small carriers to offer transferable tickets – the only catch is that only tickets purchased on FairAir.com can be resold through FairAir.

FairAir plans to add a surcharge, less than $10, when a ticket is purchased for this benefit. Should the ticket be sold or transferred, FairAir would asses another nominal fee, which would be significantly less than the current $100.00 penalty many major carrier currently charge. FairAir is based in San Francisco.
