I believe this service fee depends on the airline, because some have a fee on Skiplagged and some don’t (Delta flights appear to charge a 3.5% fee, while American, United and Alaska don’t charge a fee). It looks like there’s a fee for some airlines when booking directly with Skiplagged, which is also news to me.
