Even by the airline industry’s new "charge for everything as many times as you can" standard, checked baggage fees are still absurdly complicated and expensive. Things have gotten to the point where airlines like United are letting passengers pay hundreds of dollars before they fly so they don’t have to pay hundred of dollars when they fly, as if that makes sense. That’s in between dozens of upgrades and conditions and levels that all affect fees in different tangled ways. Passengers today can be excused, then, for not having the first clue what’s going on with luggage—something that new website LuggageLimits.com is set to change.
The ambitious new site is built around a central database that picks out what you can expect by matching your airline with your departure and arrival airports. Once you choose your airline, a bunch of general information gets displayed, both as a broad description and in boxes with specific information. At the top there’s a drop-down box where for setting airline-specific ticket class, which reflects the idiosyncratic options of each company.
