[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Airlines should make checking luggage free and charge out the wazoo to bring a carryon.[/quote] It should all be free. It used to be. [/quote] It isn’t because the IRS said in a PLR about 12 years ago that those baggage fees etc aren’t subject to ticket taxes. So that’s why we get nickel and dimed on things like this. Blame congress for writing bad tax laws. [/quote] The tax benefit was probably an early benefit, but there are checked bag fees and ancillary fees all over the world. It's because it allows the airlines to price discriminate and reach a broader part of the demand curve. Also because people are bad (on average) at considering things like added fees when making purchase decisions.[/quote]
