\n

Last year, commercial air passenger traffic saw a surge of over 30%, while revenue soared by 50% compared to 2021, with Europe and Asia ex-China showing remarkable gains.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s according to IdeaWorks\u2019 latest report on airline ancillary revenue in 2022, which shows that with an increase in traffic came a rise in sales for non-ticket services. Crowded airports and planes nudged passengers to pay more for comforts like extra legroom, preferred seating, early boarding, checked luggage, priority screening and more. Low-cost carriers (LLCs) took the lead, underscoring the resilience of the \u00e0 la carte model and its growing acceptance among consumers.<\/p>\n

Below are the top 10 airlines, in descending order, based on ancillary revenues they collected per passenger.<\/p>\n
