The airlines seem to be in acceleration mode when it comes to adding in fees and increasing traditional ones in the late. There are so many to sort through that I’m blogging about them one at a time. I have compiled a list of major airlines and what they are currently charging as of February 2010. As most travelers have come to know, these fees can go up at a moments notice so they are subject to change. And go up they will. Another thing, these fees are for each way so the double on a round trip ticket. One more good reason to pack light.
