Hidden surcharges and fees are one of those things that I let get to me out of proportion to their actual import. I think it’s the generally dishonest nature of them. If you advertise a service at a price, you should deliver that service for that price. If you can’t, advertise at a price for which you *can* deliver that service. Not complicated.
Anyway, I was galled by one yesterday when I walked up to a counter in an airport and bought a ticket. The ticket was $XXX, along with a “$25 administrative service charge.” Wait. I just walked up to your desk in your airport, and you want me to pay another $25 for the privilege of buying a ticket from you? WTF?
Anyway, in the spirit of these things, here’s a very handy chart outlining the current US domestic airline fees.
