Since all these airlines are still split on what services call for fees and how much those services actually cost, they need to create a standard for every airline to use as a basis for quoting prices. Go back a few years to what was considered “standard”, and have them quote on:
- RT airfare
- 1 checked bag
- advance seat selection
- beverage service
- taxes and fees
From there, passengers can unbundle as necessary or add things like premium seating and 2nd or 3rd checked bags (and PLEASE stop these companies from declaring all aisle and window seats “premium”).
Rather than encourage airlines to hide all the extra fees, it would instead encourage them to promote their fees — “You can save $XXX if you don’t check a bag and don’t care where you sit!”
