Once upon a time we did for those going to Central America. We started getting too many oversized/over weight bags down at the boarding door.

We have not charged for bags, at the boarding door, since we started with the baggage fees. The TSA at our check point is very good about sending people back to the counter when they have more than two bags. When the bins are full, we check bags free of charge and we will also make announcements, prior to boarding, offering to check bags before you board.
