Then it showed carry-on bag fees. It listed bag #1 with max dimensions of 45" and bag #2 with max of 36". It also included max dimensions for length, width, and height.

Nothing on this page was different info from the current web page:

What was different was that it seemed to have a drop down menu that indicated that there might be a fee for this if I didn't have status.

Has anyone else encountered this?

Notwithstanding all the debate over whether it's good/bad/whatever, has anyone else seen something along the lines of what the OP is asking? Doing a dummy booking I don't see anything popping up in the payment section.
