Q. About how much are taxes and fees? Is there some ballpark figure I can add in so I don't get sticker shock at the checkout counter? While checking for trips from Sacramento to Columbus OH, I noticed taxes seem to be so expensive these days!
A. Unfortunately, there's no set amount to plug in for taxes and fees, because they vary by airport, airline, and according to the number of connections you make. For example, traveling midweek from Sacramento to Columbus on Continental, with one connection in Houston, we found taxes to be $33 on a base fare of $276.

The listings are by airport already. If the listings were further broken down by carrier and included the taxes, it would be much easier to compare fares.

Because the amount can differ for the same fare, depending on the airport, airline and # of connections.

Why isn't tax include on the fare list to begin with?

Isn't the bottom line the most important in the world of fares? I've seen fares to the same destination at $175 and $500 but BOTH airlines wound up within a dollar or so of each other for the total fare on the same days....
