Web Airfare Aggregator Claims To Eliminate Baggage Fee Confusion

Fly.com Introduces Search Engine Listing Of Baggage Fees

The airfare search engine Fly.com says it has begun to list baggage fees for major airlines. The site's owners say the fees for each flight appear clearly in the returned search results.

"Baggage fees are very confusing and costly.  Travelers with bags should definitely research before they book if they want to save money," said Justin Soffer, vice president and general manager of Fly.com. "For example, 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.  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."

Soffer also added that travelers may save even more money by paying for baggage fees online instead of at the airport. The site says it lists the fee differences between advance and airport purchase.

The site 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. 

Fly.com is not a travel agency and does not take bookings; it compares prices and itineraries from hundreds of airline and travel websites and recommends to travelers the best options for their search.
