It feels as though the airlines are adding extra fees every week. On one trip you have to pay for a blanket, and on the next you're tagged for a second bag. Now Smarter Travel, Airfare Watchdog and Seat Guru have compiled an indispensable resource on one page: the Ultimate Guide to Airline Fees at www.smartertravel.com.

What's hot: The chart organizes 15 categories of fees across 16 popular airlines. Find out whether in-flight food will cost you (up to $10 on Delta) or whether you'll be charged extra for booking your flight on the phone or in person ($30 on American, Northwest and United).

What's not: Unless you're expressly looking for it, the info is not easy to find. If it were really as ultimate as its name suggests, it would take my e-mail address and send me a note when a new fee is added or changed.
