If you're tired of hidden fees on airline tickets, you aren't the only one.
In fact, Thursday is unofficially "Mad as Hell Day" for people who are tired of sneaky fees. Three travel groups are sending the transportation department a petition signed by thousands demanding that airlines tell all flyers about any fees they might have to pay for optional services. They also add that it's OK for airlines to charge the fees, but they just need to be open about them, so passengers can make informed decisions.
Airlines have made more than $2 billion in fees in just the second quarter of 2010.
