YIKES!
The biggest hit for most customers is the baggage fees, which amount to about 40% of airline income!
So what are your options for low-fee airlines?
Southwest is one of the only 2 airlines that doesn't charge for your 1st checked bag (the other is JetBlue) and the ONLY airline to let you check 2 bags FOR FREE! Although you do have to deal with not having an assigned seat.
