Making Reservations Over Phone: $25
First Checked Baggage: $25
Second Checked Baggage: $35
Carry-On Bags: $0
Priority/Select Seating: $0
Entertainment/Media: $0
Pillow/Blanket: $0
More Leg Room: $14-$109 (E+)
In-flight Food: $5-$9
Bringing Pets Aboard: $125
Total: $379 - $478
The low cost airlines seem to be ... ermm ... lower cost.
