(CNN) — Even the cheap seats are getting pricey. On Wednesday, American Airlines announced an add-on fee for the front rows in coach class. The fee is the latest in a long line of a la carte airline fees that have brought billions in revenue to legacy airlines hobbled by high oil prices and economic recession. American’s new Express Seats will start at $19 per flight for choice spots in the first few rows in the cabin. Passengers who opt for designated Express Seats will board in the first group of general boarding, likely reducing the amount of elbow jockeying for overhead space.
