I also read recently that the extra bag charge holds for each flight of your trip!!! So if you change planes, you'd have to pay it again.

Our airlines announced yesterday there is going to be huge fuel surcharges added- there was also suggestions that all sorts of extras are going to be charged for, such as inflight entertainment and food and drinks on long haul flights as the airlines are needing to find more ways to cover the growing costs of fuel.
The BBC reporter even joked there may be a charge in the future to use the bathroom on board!

That's right. With avgas now over $5 per gallon, when I'm flying locally I'm pulling the throttle back as far as I can. If slows my speed by 8% but it cuts the fuel burn by 18%. Still going somewhere it adds 8% to the flying time but it still saves 8% in fuel burn.
