Aussies travelling internally on business flights are facing heftier bills on their credit cards as a result of the rising cost of air travel.
The American Express Business Travel Monitor revealed that the cost of business class flights increased by 12 per cent in the second three-month period of 2011.
Carl Jones, head of American Express advisory services for the Asia Pacific region, commented: “The major airlines are competing vigorously for business travel spending but they arent doing it by getting into a price war.”
Business travellers were not the only ones left struggling to pay higher fees, as those taking trips in economy class also faced a nine per cent rise in the amount they had to pay.
Mr Jones asserted that the aviation industry in Australia is particularly strong at the moment because of the “booming resources sector”.
This comes after Jackie Pearson, managing editor of YourMoney Magazine, urged consumers to compare credit cards to ensure they got one that was suited to their requirements.

Did you hear that Facebook’s rival is in town? As I’m sure some of you know, Google released a new social media site called Google+.
If you haven’t received an invitation to join Google+, please let me know! The site is invite- only… and it’s amazing! Where Facebook lacks, Google+ takes off.
For instance …
1) Google+ is fertile ground for you to build your business (or promote your job skills). It’s really easy to stand out because, unlike Facebook, there aren’t bunches of people competing in the same space.
2) The folks at Google+ are ultra-sensitive about privacy issues, so they don’t capture the same personal information that Facebook does.
3) It’s really, really easy to separate friends, family, and co-workers, which means you can share photos and personal information with friends and family members, but not the guy who sits in the cubicle down the hall!
