Yes, you were in Vancouver about 2 yrs. ago or so?Originally Posted by maillotpois
Our six checked bags (14 total if you count our 2 friends' bags and all our carryons) have arrived safely in Vancouver.
Air Canada started to charge $35.00 (I think) 1 way for past 12-18 months, for any additional baggage that must be checked in (even if it meets carry-on size/weight) beyond 1 free carry-on. I've flown enough by now, that I can't remember when their policy started. As a result of this policy, I have noticed WAY more people taking on their carry-on luggagge aboard. At least for domestic flights.
With this airline's extra fuel charges and tax for each 1 way trip, it's more of an incentive for me to tend to use 1 carry-on for clothing, if I can. I'm cheap.I haven't done a biz trip by plane for past several yrs., so really it's for me to save money on my personal/vacation trips. I've made several personal trips in the past 18 months ...so cost really can add up for me, if I'm not careful.
I really do think about weight and bulk and ease of handling by myself as well as cost.
