Dear MEL Topic Readers,
How airline fees have turned baggage into billions
An airfare is a fee paid by a passenger for air transport. Airfares
vary by class, fare restrictions like changeable or cancelable, and seat
selection for most airlines. In-flight services such as meals, drinks, and wifi
access are mostly optional for budget airlines. Nowadays, what costs you quite substantially
is baggage fees. Recently, a growing number of airlines are charging fees for checked
baggage, whether for excess, additional, or even the only bag. Furthermore, some
European budget airlines, such as Ryanair and Easyjet, are now charging fees on
carry-on baggage that doesn’t fit under the seat in front of the passenger. Even
if you manage to put all your belongings into a bag and put it under the seat
in front of you, you’ll sacrifice the already-squeezed legroom. So, when you’ve
found a very good airfare, you surely want to check the fees on both check-in baggage
and a cabin bag before touching the “Buy” button.
Read the article and learn how much your total airfare could cost nowadays.
