Potential theft aside, even this is incorrect... a second bag costs $30, not $50. The third bag would only be a second bag for one of the passengers.

As for the 0-versus-2 checked bags... if she hit "0" for checked bags, how did she tag the bags and check them? Did she print out the bag tags manually? If so, it should be easy to check this for fraud, no? (As in, look up the reservation, see that there were 0 checked bags upon check-in, yet 2 tags were printed attached to that ticket. Or is this not how it would work?)
