Better buckle your seat belt my friend because airline fees are about to get really crazy.

I have no idea what I’ll be doing when vacation time rolls around this year, but any thoughts I had about flying were definitely squashed when I heard about this.

According to a new report, airlines are doing whatever they can to fluff the bottom line with any fee they can get way with.

How bad is it? Well, for example, Virgin Atlantic plans to charge $50 each way to pick your seat, while United is expected to charge $100 for checked bags over 50 pounds.

The good news? Base airfare shouldn’t rise much.

Until it does. You know how that goes, right? Right.
