NOTES: Domestic Air Carrier Fare: Data are from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Bureau of Transportation Statistics, Office of Airline Information, TranStats Database, T1: U.S. Air Carrier Traffic and Capacity Summary by Service Class and Air Carrier Financial Reports, Schedule P-11 and Schedule P-12. National Transportation Statistics Table 3-19 takes total revenue from these sources and divides by total trips to arrive at average fare. Fares do not include baggage fees or reservation change fees, which airlines began charging in 2008.
