Airlines Face Backlash Over New Carry-On Bag Fees

Air Canada has announced new baggage fees for basic economy flights within North America, charging $25 for the first carry-on bag and $36 for the second, effective January 3rd. Passengers who don't pre-register checked bags will face a $46 fee at the airport. The policy has drawn criticism from travelers and Canadian Transport Minister Anita Anand, who plans to meet with airline CEOs to discuss the impact on passengers. This move aligns Air Canada's policies with low-cost carriers like Spirit and Frontier, which have similar fee structures.

Despite the couple's attempts to resolve the issue with a small fee, the booking website StudentUniverse required them to cancel and rebook, citing airline policies that did not permit name changes on such short notice.
