Airlines are raising costs at the wrong places. They already get a cut of the concessions including restaurants,kiosks,bars and newsstands. Let's not forget that the terminal charges for the parking slots and a per landing charge which keeps going up . With some balance between the income from the concessions and the cost of landings/parking slots including costs for late departure being equal an adjustment in air fare should only be based upon the cost of fuel,labor and a flat fee for aircraft replacementand profit. Federal taxes are already included in each ticket. With all this considered additional charges are gouging the public.
