pay per bags

[Goldilocks95]

Easyjet have increased their hold baggage charges and im searching online for a list of all airlines that charge for bags, and how much they charge. I cant find 1, so can anyone help. I am forever getting people saying to me "oh ive never heard of airlines doing that!" but I know that there must be quite a few airlines out there doing it!

Any answers are a great help! Thanks in advance.

Jet 2-
Get to the check in desk five minutes before it closes (or as late as you dare!) with a bag that you havent paid for and they dont usually have the time to charge you for it. Ive done it a few times and never had to pay. Managed to avoid Ryanairs airport check in fee with a similar technique after checking in online (though they have charged for the bag). ;)

Good idea, Normally works....unless...

....Arrive at the airport, Get charged, have to pay at another desk, then miss your flight because you get stuck at security when going to the gate :ok:

Also theres always the option of intending to arrive 5 mins before check-in closes, get stuck in traffic and not have to pay for bags at all. Becuase your too late for check-in! :ugh:

If handling agents raise their price for baggage handling then so should the airline. It is not an extra charge you are paying for the service. Also you need to take into account the allowance you are allowed. Globespan for example will weigh your hand luggage with your suitcase. If you are 2 pax with jet2 you could check in 1 suitcase up to 25kg :D
