Airlines are still experimenting with how much extra they can charge for seat assignments, which currently range from $5 to $50 or more for a domestic flight. New wave of fees in the airline industry surcharges for certain seats but the prices carriers are charging are all over the map. Spirit Airlines does not even inform customers until after they have bought a ticket that there will be an additional fee to choose a seat, while representatives from Continental and US Airways refused to reveal the range of seat fees they charge.
