I've traveled quite a bit and encountered extra fees (exit fee, departure fee, airport use fee!!!) mostly in poorer countries but I would have like to know in advance, especially that sometimes it was $50 (or so) per passenger, including infants and only cash was accepted. Departure time is a tough moment to be caught off-guard. | |

Fees for other optional services (seat select, bags, food, etc.) might have to be paid at the time of service, though, especially if you don't select them up front. | |
