"  When I recently booked a flight to Puerto Rico, I did the usual: plugged in my dates and locations in an airfare search engine, found the lowest price, and bought the ticket.  It was only when I thought about what to pack that I realized... Four days in the sun times several ounces (at least) of sunblock per day equals a lotion bottle that&amp;#039;s much larger than is permitted in a carry-on bag. What&amp;#039;s the airline gonna charge me to check my suitcase? Probably much more than it would cost me to buy the sunblock in San Juan...either way, what a hassle! We fondly remember the days when airfare included such cushy amenities as free checked luggage, on-the-house entertainment, and complimentary \u2014 if not exactly gourmet \u2014 meals. Now, a la carte fees for those services (plus even for carry-on luggage, in the case of Spirit Airlines!) could end up making that &amp;quot;lowest&amp;quot; fare not such a bargain. That&amp;#039;s why we put together &amp;quot;What Does That Airline Ticket Really Cost?&amp;quot; \u2014 a guide to the U.S.&amp;#039;s largest airlines&amp;#039; extra charges for a round-trip domestic flight.  As for my predicament: I&amp;#039;d booked on Jet Blue, which doesn&amp;#039;t charge for your first checked bag. So I was able to check my luggage, sunblock and all, for free.
