That's $75 each way. Unless I'm missing something (happens a lot), CO is charging $95 each way. So CO is 27% higher. That's noticeable, but not huge.

In any case, the airlines are getting very proficient at charging fees for things that cost them very little (see award ticket fees.) I expect this trend to continue.

Animal lovers will pay the fees, so CO is happy to collect. If you don't want to pay, go see a psychologist and have your pet identified as an emotional support animal.....
