One of my favorite airlines, Alaska Airlines, is raising baggage fees effective October 30th, 2013.\u00a0 The current fee is $20.00 per bag if purchasing a coach\/economy ticket. The increase is in par with the rates United, or Delta charges, so I guess it’s not bad…but a fee is a fee. I’m not happy about it, and I have expressed my discontent on their Facebook page and through Twitter.\u00a0 If you are flying first class, there is no fee and your checked luggage goes under the belly at no cost to you.\u00a0This includes a paid first class ticket or an award ticket with miles What’s nice of them is if you are flying wholly within the state of Alaska, there is no luggage fee. I wonder if Hawaiian Airlines does that, if you are flying intra-Hawaii.\u00a0 See the chart below for specifics. Happy Travels!<\/p>\n
