It all started a few years ago, when airlines began to realize that they could make some extra cash by charging for things that were once included in the ticket price. It's like how your phone company charges extra for data - it's all about the add-ons. And let's be real, who doesn't love a good add-on? It's like getting extra cheese on your pizza - it's a nice treat, but you don't necessarily need it.
But back to checked bag fees. They can range from $20 to $100 or more, depending on the airline and the size of your bag. That's like buying an extra ticket for your luggage - it's a pretty steep price to pay. And yet, we pay it anyway, because let's face it, we need our stuff. It's like trying to go on a road trip without snacks - it's just not happening.
