Airfare Brain gives the TRUE cost of a flight's extras on low-cost and leisure airlines in Europe (bags, seats, priority, airport check-in, changes) from each airline's own published fee pages, every figure dated and sourced. It has no live fares of its own. For a full answer: FIRST get the fare from a flight-search tool you have (e.g. Kiwi.com, Skyscanner, Kayak or Expedia) or from the person, THEN call true_cost with that airline and the total fare for the party; it adds the bags, seats and fees the fare leaves out. Comparing flights? Call true_cost once per option - the cheapest fare is often not the cheapest trip once bags are added. Figures are ranges the airline publishes, not quotes; give the person the page link to check, and book on the flight site.
