Here’s the good news: Airfares have declined in Canada. The bad news? You might wind up paying more in added fees.

WestJet and several U.S. airlines recently hiked their checked bag charges. Discount carrier Flair Airlines has raised some other fees, and added a surcharge when customers pay for their flight with a credit card. 

Airlines often say they “unbundle” fares so customers only have to pay for the add-ons they want.

“We keep our fares as low as possible while giving you the flexibility to add additional services,” Flair declares on its website.
