US says airfares hit new lows after factoring inflation

The average fare for airline travel within the United States has hit the lowest level since the government started keeping track in 1995, after adjusting for inflation.
However, that doesn’t count fees that airlines add for things like checking a bag, getting a better seat, or moving up in the boarding line.
Airlines get an increasing share of their revenue from those fees and from deals with credit-card providers, helping them remain profitable.
