Thought this may be helpful! Keep in mind that this can change-Quickly! I tried to do this as an attachment also as the chart looks screwy in the body of the message.

 

Airline Baggage Fees

 

 

The grid below summarizes the first and second baggage fees charged by the major North American air carriers as of June 13, 2008. Fee exemptions may apply for elite status frequent flyers and premium class travelers. Additional fees may apply if you plan to carry sports equipment or an odd-shaped item, or your bag exceeds airline weight limits. To determine what fees may apply to your unique situation, check the airline’s baggage policy
