Extra fees that you have -- practically everything on an airplane from food -- her leg room eating your baggage -- days.
Well -- new study says that carriers raked -- get that's nearly 23 billion dollars last year.
In seats so the question is what do you going to be charged with next our next that our expert Kevin Norton is here with a look at that hi Kendra seriously more room for more.
He is I now like you mentioned airlines are making billions -- these so they're not gonna go away if anything they're gonna continue to expand and yes I mean one thing we're seeing is the standby see that prices going up now 75 dollars if you -- -- jump on an earlier or later flight the Cindy are ticketed.
Almost so you know people now don't have to check on pay to check their bags and a flying transatlantic.
But I think we're gonna see that first checked bag -- probably come up sometime in the near future.
Kelly yeah of course we're already paying for pillows and blankets and all those things that used to be free and and they're just looking for more ways to attack on -- gas right and one thing I think it's really frustrating customers -- -- paying now for your preference seats have you wanna window or and I L.

I think we're really feeling the residual effect of that still where.
People are a little bit -- the food and beverage experience -- check in and check out experience and hotels.
Honey your -- -- a little bit slower than you -- to white by a big pain point for people to if you're seeing a luxury hotels spending a lot of money to be there you expect like I'd be included in net charge but it's yeah they charge you like fifteen or twenty bucks a day exactly used the -- that RA and some of the -- Auburn team that got -- your -- during this down economy.
