The price comparison site Kayak ran a very useful roundup of additional fees charged by airlines. These are the checked in luggage fees, snack fees, pet fees, etc. I don’t usually fly with pets but I do care about luggage, and I love to have a snack as well. When I fly I usually check in one bag and buy the least expensive snack. When I check in luggage, I do it online since many airlines offer a discount. Considering all these specifics, I figured I needs to compile a quick reference table for some of the most popular US airlines and total overhead I should expect for one checked in bag and a small snack. So here it goes (sorted by total fees). For more details, go to the Kayak roundup I mentioned above.
| 1st Luggage | Min Snack | Total Fees | |
|---|---|---|---|
| JetBlue | $0 | $0 | $0 |
| Southwest | $0 | $0 | $0 |
| AirTran | $15 | $0 | $15 |
| Northwest | $15 | $2 | $17 |
| Continental | $18 | $0 | $18 |
| United | $15 | $3 | $18 |
| Spirit | $19 | $2 | $21 |
| American | $20 | $3 | $23 |
| Midwest | $20 | $3 | $23 |
| US Airways | $20 | $3 | $23 |
