If you’re traveling light you can check your bag at the gate and avoid any baggage fees.

To all those who mourned the loss of Northwest Airlines; your culture is alive and well at Delta.

You can also ship your luggage via UPS if the fees are too high. Just plan ahead and you may want to insure them.

I flew a few months ago. Booked online and got a baggage fee of $35 roundtrip instead of each way. Still, made me mad to have to pay to bring one piece of luggage under 50 pounds on my flight.

And they really need to stop serving alcohol on flights. Nothing worse than listening to drunk college girls for an hour and a half, unless maybe listening to drunk college boys.

Have you done any flying lately? People are so fed up with fees that they are cramming everything possible into wheelies and overhead bins. There is hardly anywhere left for passengers.

I took a Delta flight recently which was so bad, they actually begged the passengers to check their excess carry-on baggage at the jetway entrance, free of charge, of course.

Even a freaking Greyhound Bus lets you check bags as part of the ticket price.

The other way to avoid baggage fees is fly Southwest.
