Airlines’ Drive To Grow Extra Fees And Services Is Paying Off Big — For Them
Forbes
Sixteen out of every $100 that American Airlines collected from its customers in 2018 came from the sale of something other than seats on a plane, according to a recent study from IdeaWorks. At United it was $14 out of every $100 in revenue. Delta got $12.50 out of every $100 it was paid for things other than a ticket.  Meanwhile maverick Southwest Airlines, the granddaddy of low cost/low fare carriers, outdid its conventional rivals by scoring $18 out of every $100 of revenue last year from the sale of services beyond a basic flight ticket.
