It is better to take the MB Air to the Apple store to get an estimate.



Best.

To reinforce Dominic's recommendation (which is a great one), a lot of the cost will depend on what mode of MacBook Air it is. The earlier units are typically not serviced in the store, they're done via what is called a "flat rate" repair. The newer ones can have the screen replaced and are a bit cheaper.


While the numbers most likely have changed, the ballpark is about:


$650-$800 for the 1st & 2nd generation MBA

$495-$600 for the 3rd & 4th generation MBA


Keep in mind those are ballparks off of quotes I received about 14 months ago when I brought in two units for screen replacements. But it gives you a rough gauge to expect when you make your GB appointment.
