But let's see what happens.
The same kind of thing was said when airlines got rid of included checked baggage allowance in the main cabin, but business travelers who have checked luggage are paying for it and doing so at the airport or earlier. Whether it’s more or less convenient at the airport than earlier, I would say airline baggage fees are generally inconvenient to consumers. And yet I would say that baggage fees are a bigger expense item now on expense reports than they were three, five, ten and fifteen years ago.
