On the Same Page: Baggage Fees & Ancillary Charges

Remember last spring when the Department of Transportation announced all those nifty new passenger protection laws? One such rule requires airlines to better disclose any ancillary fees by providing a link directly from their homepages. And guess what? They're doing it! They're really doing it! No more combing over teensy tiny fine print with a jeweler's loupe. Everything from baggage fees, beverage charges, unaccompanied minor fees, cancellation charges, to the cost of checking extras like vault poles, dry ice, and antlers has (in most cases) been consolidated to a single page. How handy! So before you dash off to the airport with a yak's head, an overweight bag, or a bicycle, be sure to glance over the following links to service charges and ancillary fees.
