Airlines Fees
Aloha Blog Readers,
Everyday I have to quote what airline fees apply to a customer’s booking and it so hard to remember every fee as each airline is different. One airline will charge a fee for the 1st bag checked in and another won’t charge at all. One airline will charge if you want a window seat and another airline won’t. So thank goodness for this chart. I hope it helps you in deciding which airline to fly with.
Call me to get a quote on a Hawaii Vacation Package. It would be my pleasure to assit you.

U.S. Domestic Airline Fee Chart
Airline Fees are a fact of life (hastened by $130/barrel oil), it is important that everyone include fee charges while shopping for airfare. To that end we have compiled a comparison list of U.S. domestic airline fees. Fees are changing rapidly and we’ll do our best to keep the chart up to date.(RickSeaney.com)
