I can see it now. Choose your seat for X, the meal for $12, water/coffee is $2, and a pillow and blanket for $6. Please check the boxes when you order your ticket and have a pleasant flight.

Hi there,
This is already happening with some of the low cost and charter airlines in Europe. As examples:

A menu with your ticket:

Charges to pre-book a seat:

(Doesn't actually give you a cost but it isn't free!)


Personally, this is why I try not to fly with these airlines, but it's already starting.

Shudder...
