Before you ever step foot on that plane

  : The website said the price was $395. Then you had to check a bag for $25. You get to the airport, and it turns out you can’t even sit with your friend unless you pay another $20 for seat selection. On top of that, you’ve got a third-party “booking fee.” Airline fees are completely out of control, and the problem is only getting worse. Just in the past couple of months, five airlines have raised the price of checked bags. Consumer Reports members are demanding more transparency and accountability to this nightmarish process. We’ve put together a short survey on airline fees. Join thousands of Consumer Reports members in taking our brand new What The (airline) Fee?!?! You Test. [Are you ready to take the You Test?
