Air travel has become an unbundled marketplace, so look at the gap between the price on the ticket and the amount finally taken at checkout. Count any separate charge an airline levies for a service, an object or a privilege, optional or unavoidable; the base fare by itself, with nothing attached, does not qualify.

How to approach it

Work the passenger journey in order rather than free-associating. Begin before the trip: the reservation itself, changes, cancellations and the various administrative add-ons. Then the airport: check-in, security, boarding, seating and the things people bring with them. Then the cabin: comfort, food, connectivity and entertainment. Then arrival and after-sales: claims, refunds, missing items and loyalty accounts. For each stage ask what a finance department could plausibly invoice separately, including services most travellers assume are free. Aim for variety across stages, because a list that stays in one zone looks narrow to whoever tallies it. Say the charge plainly as a noun phrase, keep it short, and prefer a specific named fee over a vague category. If a pick overlaps with another you already gave, swap it for something from an untouched stage.

Get a hint

Start from the moment a ticket gets priced and walk forward through the whole journey: reservation, airport, cabin, arrival and everything settled afterwards.

A little more

Low-cost carriers itemise almost anything, while traditional airlines bury comparable charges in optional extras and change policies, so scan both business models.

One step further

Push past the obvious suitcase: think of cabin comforts, special assistance, loyalty perks, ticketing paperwork, insurance-style products and services sold on board.

Why these answers count

Scoring rewards range more than depth. The lone hundred-point entry sits well outside everyday ticketing vocabulary, which is why nothing else reaches it. The eighty-five band is crowded with charges that are real and specific yet still slightly specialist: Fare lock, Curbside check-in, Priority baggage, Carbon offset, Excess valuation and Medical oxygen all landed there. These read like the work of someone who has scrolled an actual fee schedule rather than listed what they personally paid. The sixty-point tier holds the mainstream quotes, such as Airport check-in fee, Credit card fee, Fast-track security and Amenity kit: legitimate, but the first things most players type, so they carry less weight. Naming an obscure line from the small print, or phrasing a common charge in an unexpected way, is what separates a mid-score from a top one. Sheer volume does not lift a score; a couple of genuinely offbeat picks do.
