Why it exists

The fare a flight search shows is not what the trip costs. A cabin bag, a checked bag, a seat next to someone you know, checking in at the airport or paying by card can each add more than the fare itself, and the price goes up if you add them later or at the airport. Airfare Brain reads each airline's published fee pages, records every price with its source and date, and answers with the numbers, so an assistant can say what a flight will really cost.

Tools

Ranges are shown exactly as the airline publishes them. A fee the airline does not publish is said to be unknown, never counted as free. Figures from a third party (only where the airline publishes none) are labelled "reported".

Example questions

• "I found a Ryanair flight for €39. What will it cost with a cabin bag and a 20kg bag, return?"
• "Is easyJet or Wizz Air cheaper for two people with one checked bag between them?"
• "What does Jet2 charge to choose a seat?"
• "How much more is a bag at the airport than online on Wizz Air?"
• "Does British Airways' Basic fare include a cabin bag?"
• "Flying Ryanair into Malaga for a week with a 20kg bag and a hire car: what will it all cost?"

How the numbers are made

Each airline's fee pages are read by hand, every value is stored with the page it came from, a short quote and the date, and each table is re-checked monthly (a table past its re-check date is flagged on the site). Travellers can report what they actually paid; those reports are checked against the tables.

Fee pages

The same data as web pages, one per airline (checked bag, cabin bag, seats, with the date and the airline's own source):

Aer Lingus · Air Canada · Air France · Alaska Airlines · American Airlines · Austrian Airlines · British Airways · Delta Air Lines · easyJet · Eurowings · Finnair · Frontier Airlines · Iberia · Jet2 · JetBlue · KLM · Lufthansa · Norwegian · Pegasus · Ryanair · SAS · Southwest Airlines · Swiss · TAP Air Portugal · Transavia · Turkish Airlines · United Airlines · Virgin Atlantic · Volotea · Vueling · WestJet · Wizz Air
