Njengokuba ukubiza i-15 yeedola ukujonga ibhegi kwakungonelanga, iinqwelomoya ezimbini zicela i $ 5 ngaphezulu ukuqala kweli hlobo ukuba uhlawula kwikhawuntari yokungena- umrhumo ngaphezulu komrhumo.
Ewe unokuhlala uhlawula umrhumo wempahla yakho ekhaya. Iinqwelomoya zibiza ngokuba "sisaphulelo kwi-Intanethi."
Ukuba iinqwelomoya zinokuhamba nazo, yintoni elandelayo? Endaweni yokunyusa amaxabiso embindini wokudodobala kwezoqoqosho, bafaka imali kwimirhumo yokwenza imali- iifizi zeebhegi, iifizi zokuhamba ngokukhawuleza, kunye neefizi zezihlalo ezithile.
I-United Airlines iyodwa ilindele ukuhlawula ngaphezulu kwe- $ 1 yezigidigidi kulo nyaka kwimirhumo esukela kwimpahla ukuya ekukhawuleziseni amabhaso ahamba rhoqo. Ingaphezulu kwipesenti ezi-5 zengeniso yayo.
Ezona ntlawulo zintsha zinokubakho zezinye zeenqwelo moya, kwindawo ethile. Imirhumo ihlala ivela kwinqwelomoya enye okanye ezimbini, kwaye abo bakhuphisana nabo bajonge ukubona ukuba ingaba abakhweli bayayamkela na okanye bayavukela. Njengokuba:
_ I-US Airways kunye ne-United babetha abakhweli ukuya kuthi ga kwi-5 yeedola ukuhlawula imirhumo yabo yempahla kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya endaweni ye-intanethi. I-United iphumeze umrhumo nge-10 kaJuni, ngelixa i-US Airways izakuqala ngoJulayi 9.
_ Ukuba ufuna ukukhetha isitulo somqolo wokuphuma kwi-AirTran kwaye wonwabele kwigumbi elongezelelweyo, lindela ukukhwehlela i $ 20.
_ I-Allegiant Air, inkampani encinci yenqwelomoya yenqwelomoya, ibiza i- $ 13.50 "intlawulo yokuthenga" ngokuthenga kwi-Intanethi, nangona uninzi lwabanye abathwali bakhuthaza ukuthengwa ngokuthe ngqo kwiWebhusayithi yabo.
_ Isaphulelo saseYurophu iRyanair ihlawulisa nantoni na ekufuneka yenziwe ngumntu wonke ukuba ufuna ukubhabha: jonga ngaphakathi. Ziyi-5 zeerandi, okanye malunga ne-6.75 yeedola, ukujonga kwi-intanethi, kabini abakhweli abahlawula kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya. I-Ryanair iceba ukuphelisa iidesika zokungena kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya.
I-airline yaseSpain iVueling ihlawulisa umrhumo wokukhetha isihlalo. Nasiphi na isihlalo konke konke. Isihlalo "esisisiseko" emva kwephiko siqhuba i-euro ezingama-3. Kwii-euro ezingama-30, abahambi banokukhetha isitulo okanye isihlalo sefestile kwaye baqinisekise ukuba isihlalo esiphakathi siya kuhlala singenanto.
"Kufuneka bapholise nabo," utshilo uJim Injineli, ekhathazekile, umphathi wezonxibelelwano noluntu elinde inqwelomoya ephuma eLaGuardia eNew York. "Ukutshaja iglasi yamanzi nezihlalo nje kuguqulela abathengi abangonwabanga."
Kutshanje kunyaka ophelileyo, uninzi lweeflayithi zifumene umrhumo kuphela xa bekhangele iibhegi ezintathu okanye bethumela umntwana omncinci kwilizwe liphela. Uninzi lwabantu, uninzi lwamaxesha, luhamba ngaphandle kwentlawulo.
Kodwa yaqala ukutshintsha intwasahlobo ephelileyo. Amaxabiso e-jet amafutha kunye nokuxhathisa abakhweli ukuya kumaxabiso aphezulu aqala iinqwelomoya zijonga ngeenxa zonke kwikhabhathi yezinto abanokuhlawulisa ngazo.
Abakhweli bafumanisa ukuba kulula kakhulu kwiinqwelomoya ukuba zongeze iifizi kunokuba zibasuse.

Yiloo nto eyenzekileyo kwi-US Airways. Izamile iinyanga ezisixhenxe ukuhlawulisa isoda kunye namanzi kodwa yanikezela ngoMatshi emva kokuba kungekho nqwelomoya zayithathayo le ngcamango. Kwaye i-Delta yanciphisa isicwangciso sokubiza i-50 yeedola ukujonga ibhegi yesibini kuzo zonke iinqwelomoya. Endaweni yoko, intlawulo iya kusebenza kuphela kwiinqwelomoya eziya eYurophu.
I-United ibiyinkokheli ekufumaneni iindlela zokuhlawulisa abakhweli ngokwahlukeneyo kwizinto. Ezinye zezabahambi babaqeqeshi abahamba ukufumana ukufumana simahla, njengokutya. Ezinye ziinkonzo ezintsha zizonke, ezinje ngenkonzo yeminyango yendlu ngendlu ngeFedEx.
Ii-Airlines zithi iifizi ziyinxalenye yamaxabiso "a la carte" ebavumela ukuba babambe umgca kwixabiso. Endaweni yokuhlawulisa imali ephezulu kuwo wonke umntu, bathi, abakhweli banokukhetha izinto ezingaphezulu abafuna ukuzihlawulela.
Izimvo zeefizi aziveli emoyeni. Kwinyanga ephelileyo eMiami uninzi lwezithuthi ezinkulu zaseMelika kunye neenqwelomoya ezininzi zaphesheya kwezilwandle ziye kwinkomfa enikezelwe kumaxabiso e-la-carte kunye nemirhumo. (Imotto, ecaleni kwekhathuni yenqwelo moya: "Ukufumanisa indawo yokugcina izinto eziphaphazelayo.")
Ezinye iirhafu zolula ingcinga: I-CEO ye-European discount carrier Ryanair ihambise umbono wokutshaja ngokusetyenziswa okungafunekiyo kunye neengxowa zokugula. Kodwa akakaqhubeki nento ebonakala ngathi yeyokufuna ukugembula, kwaye akukho namnye umphathi ophakamise ityala elinjalo.
Okwangoku, akukho mthetho uchasene nemali enjalo e-US, ngokweSebe lezoThutho kunye ne-Federal Aviation Administration.
I-Delta Air Lines Inc. kunye ne-AirTran Holdings Inc. bathi abanazo izicwangciso zokuhlawula umrhumo wokuthwala iibhegi, umbono onokuthi ngokuqinisekileyo ubacaphukise abakhweli abaqhele nje ukubhatalela imithwalo ekhangelwe.
Inokubeka nabasebenzi beenqwelo moya kwindawo engathandekiyo yokuthatha isigqibo sokuba ingaba ibhegi engalweni yakho sisipaji esikhulu, mhlawumbi simahla, okanye ityesi enamaqhuma. Kakade, iifizi zeebhegi ezihloliweyo sele zenze ukuba kufumaneke indawo kwindawo ephezulu yentloko enzima.
Kwaye nokuba iingxowa zokuthwala zihlala zikhululekile, i-United sele inikezela ngetshekhi yokungena "kwiNkulumbuso" nge $ 25. Ivumela iiflaya ukuba zingene xa kungenwa kunye nokukhuseleka ngokukhawuleza kunye nebhodi kwangethuba.
Oko kuqinisekisa ezinye zeso sithuba sixabisekileyo sentloko-ke ngandlela thile, kufana nentlawulo yokuqhubeka, utshilo uJay Sorensen, umongameli weIdeaWorks Co, umcebisi wenqwelomoya obhale incwadi yesikhokelo yeenqwelomoya ezifuna "ingeniso encedisayo" ixesha lentlawulo kunye neenkonzo ezongezelelweyo ezinje ngecredit card.
U-Matthew J. Bennett, u-CEO we-FirstClassFlyer.com, uthe ucinga ukuba abahambi abaphambi kwenqwelomoya baya kuhlala bengakhuselekanga kwimirhumo yeenqwelo moya ezijolise kubahambi abakhweli.
Kwabo bakumqeqeshi, nangona kunjalo, "into abaza kuyibizela yona ngayo nayiphi na into engabotshelelwa."
"Sele befumene imali eyaneleyo kubo," utshilo uBennett. "Yonke into abayithethayo kubahambi abakumgangatho wokuqeqesha bathi 'Asizuzanga ngokwaneleyo kuwe.'”
