New Carryon Baggage fees Alaska air when gate checking
Saw this tonight on Phoenix newspaper website. http://www.azcentral.com/members/Blo...parting/163623
Alaska adding a 25 dollar fee to check oversize bags at gate and not let them on plane. Guess this is to stop people from trying to avoid checked lugagge fees by bringing them to gate for a " what used to be " free gate check.
