Thanks for stopping by, Debi. American is the first to do this it will be interesting to see if the other major airlines will implement the same system.

Richard, and why not add it to the cost of the ticket as they always have? Soon, maybe we will see $15.00 per home tour an agent can charge the buyers. Grin.

Richard, LOL, why is it always this profession that doesn't get to charge for services as every other ones do?

You have a great Holiday as well,

Duane

That's just awful. I suggest they look somewehre else within thier company to cut costs. The only thing I will be checking with in regards to AA is the price of their competitors, to avoid using their already declining services.
