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.
Please read it again what they say about other airlines.

According to an investigation by USA Today, the highest single baggage fee ($450 per bag) is charged by American Airlines for checking an overweight checked bag on certain international flights.
It's say the highest bag fee was charged is over $450 pre bag fee & overweight fee, too.
