Instead of posting the full baggage fee chart for all 21 US and Canadian airlines every time their baggage fees change, I have named one of the under-utilized tabs on top of this site “Airline baggage fees.”
The chart includes the price for checking bags online and at the airport, domestic and international, and it includes the price for excess bags, large bags, and heavy bags. It also has a list of exempt passengers for each airline. Generally if one person on an itinerary is exempt then everyone of that reservation is also exempt from baggage fees.
You can also reach the updated chart at dansdeals.com/baggage
You can’t post comments on that page so if you have any questions or see any mistakes please post them here!

Any coupons for delta baggage?
Do you know if you have a Continental CC or Debit card from Chase do you get free baggage. I thought I saw it said you did when I signed up with the Chase accounts
@DanR:
look under the exmptions – depends on the cc you have.
any airlines besides CO give free bag with credit card???
great idea!
thanks!!!
would love to know deals to get AROUND these fees. Like credit cards – I heard you can get a card and no pay the fees. Or exceptions or whatever. PLEASE post those!
@Ari:
The exemptions are all already listed on the chart.
If I missed any please let me know!
Isn’t it true that if you don’t check in a big bag when you’re checking in, then they’ll let you check it right before you get on the plane for free?
@Chana:
There is something called a gate check when they take away your carry-on due to lack of overhead space, they then stow it away with the luggage and you would pick it up at the carousel. However, this is only common on small aircraft (such as embrayer) and otherwise is not always so. Additionally it obviously depends if the flight is full.
@DanR:From CO website: Continental Airlines Chase primary cardmembers get their first checked-bag fees automatically waived (a savings of $40 per round trip per passenger checking bags). Customers traveling with the primary cardmember will also get their applicable baggage fees waived if they are listed in the same reservation and check in at the same time. This exemption will not apply to group reservations including 10 or more customers.
What is the charge for an AA award ticket to Israel via Brussels for luggage?
is there any cc linked to AA so you don’t have to pay for bags
