        I guess I don’t get why the people selling you the seat have applied a fee from themselves instead of it just being part of the airfare.

            Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! When I worked at Verizon, I asked upper management “People ask me what these fees are all the time. What are they actually?” The answer was not a surprise: “We want more revenue without raising our prices.”
