Chicago -- United Airline's decision to shift credit card fees to travel agents will result in higher air travel ticket prices, a U.S. trade group said.
United informed an unspecified number of travel agents they would have to pay the roughly 2 percent fees for tickets purchased by credit card as of July 20, USA Today reported Wednesday.
Those agents will be assessed a $75 per ticket fee if they continue to use the airline's merchant agreements, the newspaper said.
The trade group has written United requesting the policy be rescinded.
