A few years ago most airlines added baggage fees to all tickets. Before that, I remember moving my daughter to college from Minneapolis to South Carolina and taking two checked bags each with no fees.
Now some of the airlines are trying to entice customers back by not charging for a certain number of checked bags. Sun Country just changed their policy so that the first checked bag is free when you book through Sun Country Vacations, and you book both hotel and air If you book air only, you are still charged $20 each way for your first checked bag. The second bag will be charged $30 each way if purchased online, or $35 each way if paid for at the airport.
Southwest does not charge a fee for the first two checked bags. This can be a huge savings when you add up charges both ways.
Some airlines do not charge for the first bag if you sign up for their credit card.
In contrast, Spirit Airlines charges not only for checked bags but also for carry on bags.
Do you take into consideration bag fees when you book a flight?
