People paying $7000 for a family of four to fly to Punta Cana for an all inclusive vacation for a week is not going to respond well if they are asked to pay another $240 for baggage at the airport.

So people either don't check the competition (such as the examples are) or they do and pay anyway, and don't read the terms of what's free (or not) and then whinge about 3.5% more overall ? Tough darts, farmer.

They have a quite comprehensive list of fees by class of service here: https://www.westjet.com/en-ca/travel...1-item-2-pos-1
