Fees fatten airline revenue by $3.8 billion - USATODAY.com

Fees fatten airline revenue by $3.8 billion - USATODAY.com: "U.S. airlines are raking in more money this year from extra fees, although fewer people are flying.

In the first six months of this year, the airlines collected $3.8 billion for checking bags, canceling or rebooking flights, carrying pets and assigning seats, the latest data from the Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Statistics show. That's up from $2.3 billion for the first half of 2008."
