Reply to comment by OutlyingPlasma in Website for HOA payments clearly states a $3.25 fee, but has been charging me 3.25%. Is this worth fighting over? by Melodic_Language_890

I bought a plane ticket earlier this month which the base cost for the ticket was $50

But there was an extra fee for using the overhead bins: bringing a carry-on is considered an extra.

I think it's so they get higher on Google flights when you sort by price

Those are discount airlines that offer you a low fare. If you're traveling with no luggage, it's a good deal. If you fly other airlines, some of those fees are included. Often when you do the math on the cheap fare plus bags and carryon fees, you pay the same or more than booking with the other airlines. It's their business model.

People don't do the math and then complain when they are suckered.

It is human nature to assume all other aspects of price comparisons are equal, but this world is full of "gotchas ".
