The next fee, as I reported, is charging you for using the airline's web site for reservations, for a fee of say 10.00...Next is charging the passenger extra for weight...The weight of the passenger and the luggage...One big scale will be at the check-in counter..Put yourself and your luggage on it and the extra fee will be displayed for all to see.......Or Fly Southwest.....pick your poision
