baggage fees
Airline suitcase costs
Baggage fees are charges airlines impose for checked luggage beyond a basic allowance—or increasingly, for any checked bags at all.
Once included in ticket prices, they became a major revenue source for budget carriers and eventually spread industrywide: We paid sixty dollars in baggage fees each way.
The term extends to any ancillary travel charges that feel like nickel-and-diming.
