She was not trapped, she could have left whenever she wanted. Her checked bag fee was sixty dollars, not $450. Because she missed her flight, they also added a $150 change fee for a total of $210, not $450

Really, who would actually believe there are still people out there who don't know they would be charged for the baggage?

I don't believe luggage and change fees are hidden fees, everybody knows about them.

Even if Oriitz had them listed, I bet she still would have showed up without any money.

Not sure why she had two bag fees, the second bag looked empty, she should have tossed out some stuff, paid the twenty five dollars for one bag, and gotten on her way..
