[Luggages like ones pictures will be considered for a fee]

Next time your taking to the friendly skies on an "airplane", you may be introduced to fees for carry on baggage. One airline will be inducing fees up to $45 for your carry on luggage. What's considered carry on is any baggage you bring that will require you to store in the overhead compartments of the plane. Since these fees are said to boost the losses of flights and to make up gain for the airline services. In the last few years airlines are looking to gain access to fees to make up lost revenue. Baggage fees are not new, but most airlines are already charging for bulk and heavy baggage loaded in the plane's storage areas. These baggage fees can range from $25 up to $50 depending on weight and locations of travel. It is a good idea to check fees before boarding or commiting to the flight, because baggage fees are non-refundable.

Summer travels may be down, since many travelers in the USA are using over the road automobiles to go too and forth. However, every summer gas prices soar up prices at the pump, and that $45 dollar bag you'll carry may be used in your vehicle. It's probably something you should consider next time you're taking the high skies. Packing smarter and smaller bags could save you on that additional fee.
