WSJ Your Money Briefing · Traveling Is Getting More Expensive. So Are Your Bags. · 25 Apr 2024 podcast

Booking a summer trip? voice-verified

It might be time to pay extra attention to those bag fees. voice-verified

Airlines are raising the cost to check a bag. voice-verified

WSJ reporter Allison Sider joins me to discuss after the break. voice-verified

It seems like the age of booking your flights and worrying about the bag fees later might be over. voice-verified

WSJ reporter Alison Sider looked into this and joins me. voice-verified

Alison, what's the average cost of checking a bag now? voice-verified

The idea of two checked bags for free seems so foreign now, but I remember airfares used to include the guarantee of at least one checked bag. voice-verified

What happened? voice-verified

You kind of touched on it a little there, but what are some of the reasons why airlines are saying they have to be raising these fees? voice-verified

In your story, you talk about how not all bag fees are one standard price. voice-verified

Tell me about how dynamic pricing works. voice-verified

Personally, if I'm able to swing it, I try to travel without checking a bag just because I'm so worried that something could happen to my bag. voice-verified

With these higher fees, is that less of a worry that something's going to happen? voice-verified

And with higher prices on checked bags, more people like me are opting in for carry-ons to save money. voice-verified

How does that affect that precious overhead bin space once you get on the plane? voice-verified

So before you buy your next plane ticket, what options should people consider to save money on these bag fees? voice-verified

That's WSJ reporter Allison Sider. voice-verified

And that's it for Your Money Briefing. voice-verified

This episode is hosted and produced by me, Ariana Asburu, with supervising producer Melanie Roy. voice-verified
