Most interesting that the only airline making money is the only airline that doesn't charge for every little thing. Go Southwest!!!!!

by Kathy on Thursday, May 29, 2008

Found your info on checked bagage very helpful but how about including other airlines. There is a world outside of the USA.

by Dennis Taylor on Thursday, May 29, 2008

Why not just raise ticket prices? I think this is just a way for the airlines to sell ticket low then add all the fees on. I would rather pay more for my ticket and no fees to pay. What is next???

by Katrina on Thursday, May 29, 2008

Great chart! And of course, Great Website.

Thanks

by Gary on Friday, May 30, 2008

No! I don't want to pay more on MY ticket for all those packing-challenged people who think they have to bring everything but the kitchen sink in their suitcase. Let them pay for all those bags and all that weight, not me!

by Linda on Friday, May 30, 2008

Very helpful, thanks. Would be nice to include the allowable baggage dimensions for carry on as well.

by jet on Friday, May 30, 2008

George, you're already out of date on Alaska. They announced bag fees this week.

by David G on Friday, May 30, 2008

Love the chart - Wish it was "printable" . It would also be nice to have the restrictions on carry on as well.

by Richard Auth on Saturday, May 31, 2008

Anybody know if you can pay with a credit card at the Skycap?

by Amy Alkon on Wednesday, June 04, 2008

United charging $15 for first bag, beginning with tickets bought on June 13, 2008 and after.

by Sonny on Thursday, June 12, 2008

Have there been any additional fee increases since you posted the Baggage fee list by airline on your blog 5/28/08.By the way this is a very helpful list ,thanks I am in the travel expense department an this will come in handy

by Erika on Monday, July 07, 2008

Recently charged $50 (not $29) by AirTran for oversized bag. Creative (and rude) agent measured my bag along the curved edges (as opposed to side to side) and this added 4 inches. When I questioned it she said "pay the $50 or get out of line".

by Mike on Thursday, July 10, 2008

Notice that Southwest is one of two airlines that doesn't charge for a second bag. That is because they are one of the few profitable US airlines.

by Davin Peterson on Friday, July 25, 2008

Great chart - would like to see a column added for golf/sports equipment.

by Paula on Friday, July 25, 2008

if week bought tickets before they decided to charge for luggage - do we have to pay the fee?

by janine on Friday, July 25, 2008

Alaska's baggage policies have changed. They are charging effective 07/01/08. Just a note to those reading up on this subject.

by R.M. on Wednesday, July 30, 2008

Frontier is now charging $15 for the first checked bag. The fee is effective for tickets purchased after September 13 for travel after November 1. Southwest and Delta are now the only two airlines that don't charge for the first checked bag.

by Jake on Wednesday, September 17, 2008

Why

by klogo on Wednesday, September 17, 2008

No kiddin Dennis

by klogo on Wednesday, September 17, 2008

Frontier started charging to breath on the plane, they don't feed you either.

UsAirways requires that everyone close their eyes for the entire flight and NO TALKING EITHER.

by klogo on Wednesday, September 17, 2008

One very important consideration that was missed is the exemption of these fees for members of frequent flyer programs. For instance, United waives most fees for pretty much all of the membership types. And International is NOT usually higher, it's usually LESS (such as first 2 bags are free)

Does anyone know how to measure a baggage? Does the 'linear inch" include the height of wheels and handle?

by SP Lim on Monday, October 13, 2008

This is out of date. Be sure to check your air carriers website so you're not surprised when you get to the ticket counter.

Goodness, people don't read sometimes! :)

"There are all kinds of exceptions to these fees, especially for certain classes of frequent flyers and military personnel."

by George Hobica on Tuesday, October 21, 2008

I already had problems every finding a spot for my tiny roll-aboard bag when flying for business. Now those of us with legitamately small carry-on luggage will have to compete with those just trying to stuff big bags in overheads so they can avoid fees. Another genius stroke by the airline industry.

by PKK on Wednesday, October 22, 2008

I think they should just have a weight limit and weigh the passenger with the bag. Smaller people can take a bag free.

by NKM on Thursday, November 13, 2008

This is a total ripoff... Airtran charged us $39 each on duffles that had pillows in them because of the measurement on our outbound flight but not on the return... what nitwits came up with asking us to bring more luggage on board?

by lupdy on Tuesday, November 25, 2008

Continental did not charge me for my first checked bag from IAH to LAX this week (Nov 27, 2008), they may have postponed charging for the first bag based on info above. Hopefully I will not have to pay on my way back!

by DaughterNature on Thursday, November 27, 2008

Please add Virgin America to your chart. They are definitely becoming competitive on their routes, and so far their baggage fees are reasonable enough (knock on wood) to sway me toward them over the other majors on many occasions. Thanks.

by musicianswife on Thursday, December 11, 2008

If you are traveling on two airlines and one you have frequent flyer standing so your first bag is free what happens with the other airline? I am beginning my trip with my usual airline but my return will be checked in by another airline which is what my first of three flights are. Will they charge me a bag charge for that one short, flight?

by knitab on Friday, December 12, 2008

I hope people give the airline industry the message by only flying Southwest. Sadly enough, people still bought tickets with American Airlines after the first bag fee was implemented.

by Steve on Tuesday, December 16, 2008

The general $15 fee for each bag is for one way, right?
So R/T is $30? That's insane, and sad.

by me on Monday, December 22, 2008

Does anyone believe it's possible that with fuel going down, the baggage fees may be dropped? I know it's a long shot, but I was just curious.

by mamafruitcake on Monday, January 05, 2009

Hmmmmm....now that gas prices are low, why are they still charging for the first bag???????

by CheKin on Wednesday, January 07, 2009

These are a great help! But Continental it says the first bag is free!

by Jes on Sunday, January 25, 2009

I can understand an additional charge for over-sized/over-weight bags but why are there increasing amounts for each additional bag? I am not a heavy packer and could fit everything into one large suitcase but I prefer to take two small bags that I am able to lift.
This is discrimination against physically challenged people!

Oh yeah, thanks for the chart.

by spike on Tuesday, January 27, 2009

I've just decided I'm not flying any more. I'm tired of all the extra crap I have to deal with. I either won't go, or I'll drive. The luggage charge is the straw that broke my back.

by jmarks6205 on Thursday, January 29, 2009

SPIRIT AIRLINES NOW CHARGES YOU TO PICK YOUR SEAT ONLINE.
WHAT ELSE IS NEXT ? COIN SLOT FOR THE TOILET ?

by MICKEY MOUSE on Saturday, February 07, 2009

just booked with air tran. they should tell you your charges when buying tickets. Iwould have used southwest.

by kim on Monday, February 09, 2009

I'm 6'7" tall. 1 - I barely fit on a plane to begin with. 2 - My clothes already cost more than most of my fellow flyers. 3 - I can't pack my "carry-on" with my clothes when I travel (see 1 & 2 above). Therefore I HAVE to check my bag. I shouldn't HAVE to PAY to check a bag. For my fellow travellers, I'm tired of stepping over all of your little roll-arounds. Getting hit on the head, because you can't lift your 60 lb. roll-around into the overhead. Lastly, no, I won't help you put it in the overhead because you can't reach or lift the weight!

by tm on Thursday, February 26, 2009

For all you surfers out there that travel, United is charging 175.00 for 1 board, 2 in a bag 350.00, thats 700.00 roundtrip for 2 boards, pretty insane, I will no longer use UA, continental is 2 in a bag for 100.00, Hawaiian is 2 in a bag for 100.00, check the carraige rules before you book a trip, paying a little more for airfare, with a airline that doesn't jab it to you for surfboards, in the long run saves you, in Hawaii they are especially bad about how many boards you have in a bag, they really stick it to you there, beware!!!!

by liz on Thursday, February 26, 2009

I was against paying for bags but now I'm thinking it actually better to pay for everything. Heck we should be paying per pound for body weight also, that's what costs fuel to fly. If all things were fair every passenger would be paying a seat cost, a personal weight cost, and a baggage weight cost. That way if you fly light, you fly cheap.

by shawn on Monday, March 02, 2009

we are all not light in weight,and that is for you bloggers that keep mentioning pay by the pounds..If you can not aford to fly STAY HOME..

by Evonne on Saturday, March 07, 2009

I'm saying this because I like to travel myself, not just for business, especially since most of you aren't in my area anyway.

Take your bags to your nearest shipping store (UPS Store, FedEx Office, Pack & Ship, etc.) and just ship them out instead. It gets delivered to your door, it's trackable, insurable, and 9 times out of 10 it's cheaper. Some stores will even pick your packages up for you, just call and ask.

It makes a whole lot more sense than dealing with the geniuses at the airline counters, and since most mail and parcel centers like mine are independently owned and operated, you're helping out a local business rather than filling the coffers of these airlines that are now charging you for the privilege of buying a ticket(Spirit Airlines).

by UPS Store Owner on Thursday, March 26, 2009

I can't believe that US Air charges $100 each way for a golf bag. Of course it is over 62" total linear inches, all golf travel bags must be. We just found out about this $200 round trip fee, so we will not be able to take our clubs to play at a resort that included free golf in its price. Renting and cart fees would be $98/day, so that is out of the question too. We are upset because we were really looking forward to this trip and playing golf in another country.

by Traveler2323 on Wednesday, April 08, 2009

I'm flying a group flight with my cheer team on april 30th and we will return that monday which is may 4th. The lady on the phone at american airlines in the pittsburgh international told us that the bag fees would be $30 for the first bag. Either this chart is not correct or the lady lied to us. But we are now flying jet blue where we will not pay any bag fees because of our large group.

by kay1120 on Monday, April 13, 2009

I just learned today, April 23, 2009, that Alaska Air will begin charging $15 for the first checked bag. Here is what their web site has to say:

"Alaska Airlines or Horizon Air passengers traveling on tickets purchased or reissued on or after May 1, 2009 for travel on or after July 7, 2009, will be charged $15 for the first checked bag* and $25 for the second checked bag.

*The first checked bag service charge is pending Canadian government approval for passengers traveling to/from Canada."

I am an Alaska Air card holder and mileage plan member who is now questioning the loyalty to the airline. Even after their wonderful (not really) baggage handling outsourced team destroyed a piece of luggage, I still would fly them. Every time I look at flying somewhere I would always check to see if Alaska had service into or near my destination. Way to go Alaska Air, I will now begin to shop around and may end up feeling the “Love” from Southwest.

From one disappointed Alaska Airline passenger.

by Traveler97s on Thursday, April 23, 2009

Just got this email from USAir making it sound like they're doing us a favor by letting us pay the baggage fees online.

Checking bags? Pay online. It's worth it!

Save time and money when you check in online. Beginning July 9, 2009, you'll be able to pay for checked bags when you check in online – $15 for your first checked bag and $25 for your second. For customers who choose to pay for checked bags at the airport, there will be an additional $5 service fee, so save a few when you check in online!

People shouldn't do it. It's obvious it was such a log jam at check in it was costing them more to collect it than it's worth. Make them stick it back in the ticket price so we can get true price comparisons online. That's the real reson they want the hidden fees you know?

by njbillt on Thursday, April 23, 2009

Looks like Alaska Airlines is now going to be charging for the first bag. Hopefully people will have the sense to stop flying them as a result.

by Steve on Sunday, April 26, 2009

US Airways will be jacking up their baggage rate to $20 for the first bag and $30 for the second starting on July 9th, 2009 if you don't pay for your bags online. This is getting rediculous. Might as well just ship your bags UPS a few days prior! Going to start flying exclusively Southwest soon.

by tj on Friday, May 01, 2009

AA does not charge fees for the 1st two bags under the weight/size limit, NOR do they charge for a boxed bike if one has only one other checked standard item

by donaldam on Saturday, May 02, 2009

SORRY - 2 free bags are for international flights.

by donaldam on Saturday, May 02, 2009

Think about this; I weigh 165#s and I have to pay $15.00 for my first bag 50# or less. If my bag is 51 -70#'s I have to pay $65.00. The person in front of me weighs 265#s pays the same. Maybe the airlines should charge a total weight, Bag + Passenger. You stand on the scales with your luggage and pay accordingly.

by Airborn on Tuesday, May 19, 2009

Alaska Airline is now charging $15 for the first baggage effective May 1st. Please modify your chart.

by Zahir on Tuesday, May 19, 2009

Thank you for this wonderful website. My family of 7 often travel and we've gone exclusively to flying Southwest because of no bag fees. You add bag fees on to a family of seven and the price to travel becomes outrageous. How is it that SW can make money without these fees and provide fabulous service. Go Southwest!!!

by Family of 7 on Saturday, May 23, 2009

I do not know whether I will be liable to pay extra baggage charge on my return flt from CVG to BOM on flt AI-140 via JFK on 8 June 2009 , although I have booked my return tikets on 5th March 2009 from Bombay. it shocking that there is no sourse available to get exact informaion...

by Belosay on Sunday, May 24, 2009

For the record, Jet Blue ROCKS!! On the other hand, Southwest made a good bid on their jet fuel so they are getting it really cheap comparitively speaking. Once that ends, you can pretty much count on them charging for luggage too! Sorry for the bad news...

by jj on Sunday, May 24, 2009

Personally, I think the whole charging for baggage - especially the first bag is disgusting and just another way to rip off customers - what the heck do they think we are supposed to wear when we go away, and with the restrictions on carry on items one almost always has to have checked bags... its just plan greed on the airlines part.

by disgusted of az on Monday, May 25, 2009

We should vote for Southwest with our wallets.

by JC on Saturday, May 30, 2009

by Dennis Taylor on Thursday, May 29, 2008"

Well, Dennis, why don't you and your non-USA counterparts show some initiative and start your own Website geared to airlines for "the world outside the USA" then? I promise you I won't visit it and complain about it, you twat.

by James D. on Tuesday, June 02, 2009

Some of these airlines are finding themselves in a bit of a spot, as other airline reduce their ticket prices and hide the charges in luggage and other fees. It LOOKS like they are charging less when they are not, forcing other airlines to also charge the fees to be able to compete on ticket price (mostly due to internet site taking over the ticket selling). What needs to be done, is we need to get congress to outlaw some of these fees and create a transparency of pricing so they can all play on a level field. I just paid $50 more for a Southwest flight but will save money on the total - go figure. Please write you congressman!
It would be nice if Travelocity, Orbits, etc would put the price of baggage into their calculations too.

by Lisa A on Monday, June 08, 2009

by travelmom on Tuesday, June 23, 2009

why don't they allow the first bag for free and charge those with the massive carry on bags?

by bill from ohio on Tuesday, June 23, 2009

So now the object is to get seats in back of plane as they supposely load these passenger first after frequent fliers, etc. This way you can get your carry on the plane. Why is the overhead filled above my seat?

by DaveB on Tuesday, June 23, 2009

On June 17 Southwest began charging $50 for the third checked bag, of course still checking the first two for free.

by susan on Tuesday, June 23, 2009

I just traveled on a NWA/Delta which I thought was the cheepest ticket. I used a comp certificate since out last flight we spent a day in a airport we were never suppose to land at then night in another cuz we missed our conection with two kids under 5. So we flew again on a ticket costing 180 and ended up paying 300 with all the baggage fees. Got hit with a litle over 50 and payed the highest $90 charge. I wish I knew about all these fees ahead of time. Southwest just won our family!

by Trisha on Tuesday, June 23, 2009

I remember 50 years ago in Australia, we were weighed with our bags before flying. Ah, the bad old days. I love Jet Blue. Never fly any other airline. They are the best. On time, great extras, good coffee and snacks.

I gladly pay more to fly JetBlue. I wish several of the nickle-n-dime companies would just die already!

Baggage fees don't actually mean most people pay for their bags. It means people slow down the security checkpoints and endanger other passengers by lugging heavy crap onto the plane and into the overhead bins instead of checking them. People have been seriously injured (I've seen it happen right in front of me and will no longer sit in an aisle seat bc of it) from morons lugging inappropriate bags on instead of checking them. Overhead bins open in turbulence or super-morons pull their bags down and smack other passengers in the head.

by KD on Tuesday, July 14, 2009

This is bulls***. I am already paying so many stupid fees. Why in the name of God do I have to pay to check my bag? Does anyone travel for a week on a two way ticket without checked baggage? If cost have gone raise the price of my ticket to cover my f***ing bag.

by Angry Paasenger on Thursday, July 16, 2009

WHAT THE F_ _ K!!!! It has been a few years since I've had to call on the service of the Airlines. I must say, I am still trying to understand the fees. This is a TOTAL DISGRACE...... How can the airlines be allowed to do this to SOME people, when the people who can afford to pay do not have to pay. It's bad enough when the tickets are already HIGH AS Hell!!!!, and you have to figure out how to pay baggage fees both departing and returning. This being the case, the consumer should just buy the freaking airline, because we are paying for everything as it is. If it were not for a family emergency YOU would not get a dime of my money..........

by flyermb on Monday, July 20, 2009

This is what capilism does, and what's worse is that the companies that want to do business the honest way, have no other choice but to follow suit and cheat because they will be out of business from the competition. I think that sad though, reward the cheat and punish the honest.

by Donjuanw on Tuesday, July 21, 2009

Airlines have every right to charge fees for bags because they have a direct impact on what is likely their second biggest operating cost (fuel...labor costs being the largest operating costs--thanks unions!), and capitalism works because we can shop airlines that charge no fees (Southwest #1) or that charge lower fees (American) than the "ultra discount" carriers. Now, seat selection fees? That is a crock, but it is the market at work. I don't fly airlines that charge fees I don't want to pay. We have the power of the checkbook; use it, and stop complaining.

by Reality Check on Thursday, July 23, 2009

Well, if any one is truly getting sick of all of this crap that the airlines are pulling, why not take a train? they still go to all major city's and allot of smaller ones, its considerably safer than flying, and it wont take much longer (including the time spent at airports with security and the like these days) they're much more spacious and comfortable.
And best of all, no major security checkpoints, borderline (or not so borderline) invasions of privacy, all of the things that many of us have come to hate about flying these days.

by SteamNut on Sunday, July 26, 2009

American airlines charges are wrong

by wrong on Sunday, July 26, 2009

Is anyone else seeing another problem here with extra baggage fees? The airline is essentially going onto the express courier service business just like UPS, FedEx etc, without any apparent consumer recourse for poor quality, rude, mishandled or botched service. I doubt I am the only one to notice that airlines treat you and your bags with far less respect and reliability than the courier companies in getting your "packages" delivered on time and in good shape. My sister just had her bags lost after paying extra fees. When they finally arrived two days later, waking her up after midnight to deliver them, she discovered the bags had been searched somewhere on route and the handlers had neglected to repack the bag into its original carefully and neatly packed condition (ie: they were a mess). All her gifts and belongings arrived smashed and broken because of it. Now if that were FedEX how long do you think they would stay in business treating the customer like that? If the airlines charge and accept extra dollars above and beyond the fees already built into an airline ticket, then they have entered into a specific and, I should think, legally binding contract with the customer to deliver their packages in a timely and safe manner. They need to be held accountable for the quality of their work. They have been moaning about lack of profits for so long no one seems to dare to hold them accountable for their own culpability in their (in)ability to run a business; and that business includes customer satisfaction!

by Ombudsman on Wednesday, July 29, 2009

I would just like to let everyone know that SouthWest totally rocks!! I just returned from a deployment to Iraq, and we received several care packages from this most awesome company. Not only do they believe in customer satisfaction, but they also support our military!! They will be my first choice in air travel as long as they maintain their current level of anti-retardedness.

by Hopeless on Sunday, August 09, 2009

Has anyone ever tried to get a baggage fee refunded when the airline loses or delays the bags? Tell us your story!

by DClookey on Wednesday, August 12, 2009

Just checked Continental and there are no fees for international travel, such as to Europe and Asia.

by BrewedTX on Wednesday, August 12, 2009

Of course they don't charge for international flights. Remember we live in the United States where we are all supposedly rich, so we pay more for everything, prescriptions, health care, baggage fees, whatever ! ! ! ! ! ! !

by Poopsie on Tuesday, August 18, 2009

For Continental and US Air: add $5 to the first bag fee ($20 online, $25 at the airport)

by paul on Thursday, August 27, 2009

also for continental: The fee to check second bags for economy travel between Europe and the 50 U.S., Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and Canada is $50 on tickets purchased on or after Aug. 27, 2009 for travel on or after Sept. 15, 2009. The fee is $45 for second bags that are checked and pre-paid at continental.com.

by paul on Thursday, August 27, 2009

shame on you, usair! your planes are small, we were squeezed to the bone, the carpet under my seat had dry vomit! no snack!WHY DID I HAVE TO PAY THAT $20?

by maama on Thursday, August 27, 2009

The fee is effective for tickets purchased after September 13 for travel after November 1. Southwest and Delta are now the only two airlines that don't charge for the first checked bag.

by Club Penguin Cheats on Saturday, August 29, 2009

" We have the power of the checkbook; use it, and stop complaining.

by Frank on Sunday, August 30, 2009

Linda, you really don't make a point. When you go on travel for 1+ months, you need to bring alot of items. I go to Europe once every year for at least a month. I now have to pay 100$ for my second bag (Round trip) . Not everyone flys for vacation and brings everything but their kitchen sink. Fees for airlines going international is bull****, and the airlines know it too.

by Steve on Friday, September 11, 2009

I find this comical actually! How many of you REALLY work in the airline industry and know what it fully entails? In all honesty, passengers brought these charges on themselves by being spoiled with so many free things for so many years. Now it's time to recover the money that was lost for many years. Still want everything for free? The past will repeat itself if not learned from.

by Stykerforce on Wednesday, September 16, 2009

Not only does Southwest not charge bag fees, but they also do not charge change fees either. You can get on another flight just by paying the fare difference (not the fare difference plus $150 like other airlines). If the price goes down, you can get a refund for the difference that can be used on another flight -- called Ticketless Travel Funds at SWA.

Southwest has better in-flight service too, free snacks and free soft drinks. It is no longer the "cheap" airline. It has the best fares (generally) and has more free "frills" than a lot of them. Just bring your iPod or similar device for in-flight entertainment.

by ILUVSWA on Monday, September 28, 2009

It is a shame that the air lines are making you pay for all of your checked baggage. First of all I don't mind paying for my 2nd bag, but to have to pay for my first check bag, I do think, as I said a shame. I don't fly a lot, so maybe I should complain, but I remember when the airlines gave you a meal, and treated you with some type of respect. With times the way they are, and the way people have to try to make it just to live, how much more money do the CEO's need. I don't think the employees who work the ticket counters, check the bags, to the cleaning, are the ones making all the extra money that the airlines are receiving for all the extra fees that they charge. If I have to pay all the extra money that they charge, then pleas give me some respect when I do fly.

One very important consideration that was missed is the exemption of these fees for members of frequent flyer programs

by Paid Surveys on Tuesday, September 29, 2009

The fee is effective for tickets purchased after September 13 for travel after November 1. Southwest and Delta are now the only two airlines that don't charge for the first checked bag.

I can understand an additional charge for over-sized/over-weight bags but why are there increasing amounts for each additional bag? Whats your opinion?

by Cosmetic dentists Leicester on Wednesday, September 30, 2009

Well still i m confused! how much weight can be carried per person and what will be the additional charges?

by Lab Test on Saturday, October 03, 2009

For Continental and US Air: add $5 to the first bag fee ($20 online, $25 at the airport)

The fee fluctuates and not effective always. I like Delta and Southwest airlines, as they don't charge for the first checked bag.

I agree with what others are saying here. The entire paying for the "first checked bag" thing is a huge PITA. The companies should just raise the fare...but then they wouldn't be able to keep up the mirage that their prices are somehow competitive.

These changes in airfare prices makes planning for journeys so difficult. And the financial crisis (recession) doesn't help the situation either.

Fees like this are pretty crazy, " Second bag: $25 Third bag: $125; Bags 4 to 10 $200 each" (Delta). This is going to come back and bite them, and other airlines as well. 2010 fusion invoice

You're right by suggesting that heavy packers fly with Airtran, Alaska, Frontier and Southwest. Being a heavy packer myself, I find Southwest very convenient and tolerant.

by Health Screening on Saturday, October 24, 2009

Southwest which doesn't charge passengers for everything get a lot of customers because of that, and they make their cool money.

These charges are seriously ridiculous. Airlines are charging passengers for the most absurd things- it is a disgrace.
I hate when airlines advertise so called special rates and then they hit you with the small print

by KarenG on Tuesday, October 27, 2009

the REALLY funny thing is: when the price of fuel went up the airlines said that was the reason the charges for baggage happened, but they sure didnt lower or eliminate those charges when the price of fuel went down. Nother indication about what crooks they all are, from the top dog (CEO) to the lowest member of the food chain at the airlines. They may be as bad or worse than ALL the politicians, bar none, in this country, CROOKS every last one of them.

Nice list, but I hope it would have been excellent to include international economy class travels as well.

Does Northwest have routes to Europe? Delta is so heartless, that they even charge the second bag on international flights to Europe, and with a whopping $50. That's $100 round trip! Leeches!

Are golf bags still exempt for the oversize luggage weights? I believe the policy for most airlines is still one golf bag per customer, but with cost cutting recently I don't see that lasting especially for Economy tickets.

I always try to fly with Southwest. They seem to have the lowest fees in terms of the baggage. Once I even tries to take mywedding cake with me on the flight and the crew was very helpful to me and they tried to do their very best to preserver my wedding cake and they were nice enough to take a wedding cake picture with me and add even more great memories to my wedding experience.
