```text
Help me find the cheapest flight once every fee is counted. Route and dates: [ROUTE AND DATES, e.g. home airport to the beach, June 3-10]. Travelers: [WHO'S GOING, e.g. 2 adults, 1 child age 9]. Bags: [YOUR BAGS, e.g. one checked bag each]. Limits: no more than [MAX TRAVEL TIME, e.g. 9 hours] door to door and no layover over [MAX LAYOVER, e.g. 3 hours]. Refundable fares: [REFUNDABLE FARES, e.g. preferred, not required]. I've uploaded screenshots of the options I found. For each, add up the base fare, bag fees, seat fees for sitting together and any other charges, using the airline's published fees if you can look them up. Show a table sorted by true total and cross out anything that breaks my limits. Flag any fee you had to estimate.
```

## Step by step

1. Search your route on a flight site and screenshot three to five options.
