baggage fee
Airline suitcase charge
A baggage fee is a charge airlines impose for checked luggage beyond a basic allowance—or increasingly, for any checked bag at all.
Budget carriers pioneered the practice; legacy airlines followed.
The baggage fees alone added fifty dollars to my ticket.
The term has become shorthand for the unbundling of once-included travel amenities.
