Does anyone feel that airlines are being unfair for charging fees if you check in you bag? The fee is ridiculous. For instance American Airlines charges $25 for each bag you check in and if you have 2 bags to check in that $50 already. That $50 could be useful for something else.

It has been a couple years since I traveled, but those fees really seem outrageous! I am flying at the end of this month and really hope it doesn't cost $25 per bag. I find that a bit hard to believe, but you never know. I will have one bag to check and one carry-on bag, and my boyfriend will also have the same. Hopefully we won't experience such ridiculous and unfair fees!!
