Taxes

Many times, advertised (or "published") airfares do not include government-imposed taxes. Put another way, the low price consumers first see is usually not what they will end up paying. See airline taxes for a current breakdown of domestic and international airfare taxes.

Fees

Many airlines have additional fees associated with booking or flying. Fees may include additional charges for booking tickets over the telephone or at city ticket offices, penalties for itinerary changes, or excess baggage fees.
