Depends on the airline.
I just read the summary at their website.
http://www.daserste.de/plusminus/beitrag_dyn~uid,jpjg4qbmcaa89g27~cm.asp
They comment specifically on Germanwings, TUIfly, Ryanair, and Easyjet.
The german airlines usually add "Kerosinzuschlag" (fuel costs), where the
latter two are creative in finding other items to add to the bill.
One example mentions a "wheel chair fee", to be paid by every traveller,
regardless of whether or not the wheel chair is needed.
Ryanair also appears to charge 15 euros for passengers checking in their
luggage. One passenger, who had the right to cancel a flight - and did so
- didn't get the full amount refunded, because Ryanair charged him with
"cancellation costs" to an amount that even exceeded the amount of
airport taxes and additional fuel fees.
