I did this 15 years ago before airplane baggage became a fixation of
society. At that time, it was totally random. It depended on the person who
checked you on the flight. I took one International flight that charged me
$200 while my friends in the other line flew with no extra charge.

I suspect that this loose goose approach is less likely now that terrorism
is on everyone's lips and airlines are loosing money hand over fist.

I suspect that you pay and I suspect that it is a substantial amount of
money. You can call to ask them what it is. The difference is that now I
suspect you will pay whereas 15 years ago the majority of the time (in my
experience) you did NOT pay.
