checked bag fee
Suitcase travel cost
A checked bag fee is what airlines charge passengers to transport luggage in the cargo hold rather than carrying it aboard.
Once included in ticket prices, these fees became standard for most carriers in the late 2000s: I'm only bringing a carry-on to avoid the checked bag fee.
Fees typically increase with each additional bag.
