 AIRLINE CONSUMER FEES
Major US Airlines reported they collected more than $2.4 billion in revenue for the second quarter of 2006 alone, by charging ancillary fees for checked overweight and oversize baggage, in-flight food and drink, ticket charge fees and other miscellaneous fees and charges. Airlines started unbundling services and charging them in an a la carte fashion in the summer of 2008 and have made no secret of their intent to expand this type of pricing. Some airline ancillary revenues for Q2, 2009 are: American $565 million, Continental $277 million, Delta $942 million and United $276 million.
