Airline Fees

If you think there’s any hope of airline fees going away, think again.

In 2010, U.S. airlines made:

$3.4 billion in baggage fees (up 25% from the previous year.)

$2.7 billion in reservation change fees.

$958 million in net profits

Where do you think those profits came from?  You do the math.
