Logisticsmgmt.com has an excellent article in their latest publication about airfreight pricing and the key components that are taken into account when compiling a rate. The article gives a broad overview and description of the following factors:

1. Volume weight vs. actual weight
2. Consolidated vs. direct shipment pricing
3. Common surcharges
4. Packaging
5. Shipment timing

If you are a new shipper this is a must read.
