Airline Fees Cheat Sheet

It's so hard to keep track of all of the fees the airlines have started charging.
With the checked luggage fees, carry on luggage fees, overweight luggage fees, meals, priority seating, etc, it's no surprise that many cruise passengers would prefer to cruise from a port closer to home.

Just to help you figure out some of the fees charged by many of the airlines world wide, click here.

Just one example from my local area:
Fly from Newark to Fort Lauderdale with 2 pieces of checked luggage
Continental's fees (if you pre-pay online prior to arriving at the airport) $55
Jet Blue's fees- $30

These luggage charges are in each direction so even if the prices are the same, Continental is costing $50 more per person round trip. This might be something to think about when booking your flights.
