What's the True Cost of Your Next Flight? We've Got the Chart

Long gone are the days when you could buy a ticket and just be on your way without opening your wallet a second time -- but now there are fees for everything under the sun, like checking bags, carrying on luggage, buying in-flight meals, priority boarding and change fees.

USA Today recently rounded up the true cost of flying. The article is a set of a half-dozen tables, each one rounding up all the various fees you have to pay by airline.


There's simply no way to reproduce even the highlights of the chart here in this post, so you should definitely click your way over to USA Today and see the details for yourself. It's a treasure trove of handy information you can use to figure out what airline deserves your business.
