Will Airlines Charge for Changing your Seat?

Recently I heard a funny commentary on the radio about airline fees. With airlines ailing from increased fuel costs, many have spiked certain fees (such as fees for pets, unaccompanied minors) or instituted a new policy for purchasing inflight food soon to include the dry, stale pretzels. Now American Airlines is spurring the way for charging per luggage.

The comic commentator continued by forecasting a litany of fees:

Fee for selecting a seat
Fee for changing that seat assignment
Fee for requesting help in placing item in overhead bin
Fee for mocking flight attendants that "items in overhead bins tend to shift during takeoff and landing" ...

With dizzying changes, who can keep up? Here is a chart as of July 1, 2008 to help you check the latest fees from different airlines.
