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. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
