Now more airlines flying from USA to DR are charging customers baggage fees??? What the F. After paying the most taxes in the carribean now we have to pay for the check in bags? I flew Delta last year and the had no bag fees to DR. Now Delta wants to charge $30 for the second bag. I think that American airlines does not charge, but they don't have the best flight costs.
Here are the ones that I know of:
Spirit - 1st bag $20, second $25 each way
Delta - 1st bag free, second bag $25 each way
Jetblue - 1st bag free, second bag $20 each way
Last I heard AA had no bag fees to DR
Does anyone have info on the rest?

This is getting out of control! Are they going to charge us per toilet tissue square used?

FYI...
American Airlines is now charging $50 USD for the second bag
Also, Delta increased the second bag charge to $50
Spirit ariline restricts you to one bag per customer from December 1st to January 10th
WTF I am sick of all of the fees and restrictions



Xwill thank for the update. You really can't count the hora to get back to your hevita and take her to tora bora

OMG I cant wait!!! counting the days... la mujere aqui en USA no son como la de RD...
Its crazy, my bags are 13 pounds empty... does spirit expect me to fit everything into one bag and be at less than 50 pounds??? I am glad I am flying in via delta and leaving via spirit.
Like I told you before, leave your clothes over there.....that way you "travel light" all the time.

Dejala en la casa de una de esas mujeres que no son como las de aqui.........just make sure that her "primo" doesn't use them while you are out of the country. JAJAJAJAJAJAJA.


yea don't want beer stains or any other stains on my clothes made by el primo

Air fares are not high enough - there should be a 100% tax to help the Third World!
US is one of the meanest countries - not supporting France!
How can Americans ever hope to be liked when their stupid government does not support one of the leading nations of the World.
No wonder their baggage gets pillaged!
http://www.expatica.com/fr/news/local_news/12-countries-sign-up-for-french-air-tax-initiative-28060.html
Maybe its better that the second bag is just donated to Oxfam!
Greedy stupid ignorant US people dumping GHG in the atmosphere for no good reason!
Travel light!
S.

what the heck does france have to do with anything? they do not set the bag fees. Its the american companies that added this fee to generate revenue

US airlines are just being responsible - discouraging people from transporting junk through the skies as their government is just totally irresponsible in not signing up for the France initiative. In many countries people with a second bag are seen as stupid, irresponsible. In parts of Africa you are lucky if your first bag is not 'liberated'.
Come on you people out there show you have a brain!
S.

if you are traveling you should be able to take 2 bags. its bad enough that they limit the bags to 50 pounds

You are being stupid again - I used to resent paying full fare when I weigh 12 stone 160 lb and had 10 lb of travel clothes when some stupid American weighed 250lb and had two bags each weighing 60 lb.s
Total 370 lbs. 8Its about time the airlines started charging per. lb. And if a passenger is too fat and would spill into another's seat should upgrade to first at the passenger's cost.
Outside the US the normal weight limit is 44 lbs for coach class. On charter sometimes 30 lbs.
If they did this they could fit 40 extra seats in an A380.
The move of the airlines is in the right direction. Reduce GHG and flying costs.
Well done American Airlines!
Standing room seats would save even more GHG. Possible 800 plus seats on an A380

xwill - find a brain!
S.



abc you must be brain less if you want to ride standing up. First rule during a plane crash is to fold your body into a ball shape. How do you expecet there to be any survivors on a standing room flight? If you are blind enough to see that this is only for more profits for the airline companies then you need some glasses.
Why would we want more seats when the planes are not even flying at full capacity during this global crisis?

Going in a plane is whole lot safer than going by road. I'm sure the design boys have figured out that with good vertical support I'm really safe - no wiplash for example.
Its stupid more than one airline goes from one place to another - with each airline having a share in an A380 there could be a an AA section, A Delta section etc.
This wold save GHG. Or airlines could compete to fly a route.
In the US the present system is stupid and wasteful. Less seats in more efficient, larger aircraft is the answer.

planes are safe? what happened to air france? What happenes when the plane has to apply the brake at full force? The passengers will die
that will create a monopoly and prices will go out of control. The point of more airlines going to the same place is competition. Also, many airlines are going with the smaller fuel efficient planes. A380 is a gas guzzler and is only good for long flights. For interstate flights the smaller planes are good

Trains are good for interstate travel. Up to 400 miles. Upright supports will remain in place and passengers will be safe. A380 uses 40% less fuel per passenger mile than a 747. No need for a monopoly Airlines can bid to run the service to the government - very much as they do for military flights and also airlines can bid for blocks of seats to sell and service. Very much free market,
But reduced ATC costs, less delays through fewer aircraft flying, more comfort in an A380, more fuel efficiency, better choice - maybe 6 airlines on one A380 each using 100 seats.

Not with straps to hang onto - but just imagine with half the number of planes flying flights could be on-time and cheaper. Airlines will make big profits.
