Find the Best Airline Fees for You

In addition to airfare, U.S. airlines continue to increase fees. However, there are no standards or regulations when it comes to airline fees so travelers don’t know what to expect. Cost comparison is extremely difficult because prices range widely by airline and there is little transparency on the terms of each fee. To make matters worse, fees are not properly disclosed – they are hidden within multiple layers on airlines’ websites and shrouded by vague wording. NerdWallet did the homework for travelers, gathering and analyzing fee data from all major U.S. airlines. Depending on your traveler profile, the best (and worst) airline will vary.
