Several airlines have increased checked baggage fees, ranging from $35 to $45. To avoid these costs, travelers can consider checking with airlines that still provide free checked bags, combining luggage with others, or packing light. Utilizing car seat carriers, declaring extra bags during online booking, and using weight scales are also helpful. Additionally, certain credit cards and loyalty programs provide benefits for free checked baggage.
