Fly.com Lists Airline Baggage Fees in Search Results
Fly.com now lists baggage fees for major airlines. Fees appear within the search results of Fly.com. “Non-stop flights from New York to Ft. Lauderdale this December on American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and JetBlue Airways currently cost just $100 one way,” said Justin Soffer, vice president and general manager of Fly.com.
“On the surface, all prices are equal. But American charges $70 for two bags, Delta charges $55 and JetBlue charges $30. So the real prices for passengers with two bags can vary by as much as $40. That isn’t so obvious when you take an initial look at the ticket price.”
Since travelers may save money by paying for baggage fees online instead of at the airport, Fly.com lists the fee differences between advance and airport purchase. Fly.com’s new feature provides baggage fees for thousands of domestic and international routes, including all major U.S. carriers. The fee information is updated when airlines change their baggage fees or policies.
