The Spokesman-Review

Money tip

Flier, beware: airlines are increasingly advertising their fares without including most of the taxes and fees, which can account for as much as 20 percent of a $300 ticket. That means it’s getting tougher to comparison shop. United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Northwest Airlines and Continental Airlines all give the full price up front. Southwest Airlines, US Airways, America West Airlines and JetBlue Airways do not.

Local journalism is essential.
