since 2008. Here in Canuckistan, the add-on fees to a airfare basically double the cost of the flight. The discount airline up here had a $1 flight promotion a few years back to showcase how much the fees added to the ticket price, the $1 fare was about $ 100 by the time the fees were added. Fees from 2006 Transport Canada document: -Insurance Fee -Fuel surcharge -Airport Improvement Fee -Security Fee -Federal Tax -Baggage fee (new for 2015... you pay for every bag you check and carry-on size and number are severely restricted) and if you travel outside of Canada: -Immigration Fee -Arrival/Departure Tax (what the hell?) -Passenger facility charge -Another Security Fee Most fuel surcharges have now been replaced with a 'Carrier Charge' which is the same amount. Flying stinks now.
