It's a no-brainer - just include it already! I mean, who enjoys that sticker shock at checkout? Plus, it's not like they're doing us a favor by making us pay more later. It's like a surprise exam after you already aced the class, not cool.

Totally agree! It's like getting hit with extra charges out of nowhere. Just add it to the ticket price and call it a day!

If you ask me, of course, they should include baggage fees in the ticket price! It's like going to a restaurant, ordering food, then getting hit with a surprise charge for plates and cutlery. Just give me the total cost upfront, so I know what I'm really paying. It's not rocket science, folks!

I get where you're coming from, but some people prefer the flexibility of only paying for baggage if they need it. It can work both ways depending on personal preferences.

Interesting analogy! But do you think including baggage fees might make flights more expensive overall? Just curious.

I get where you're coming from, but separating baggage fees can actually help keep base ticket prices lower by letting folks choose the extras they want. It's not ideal, but it's how they keep costs down.

I totally think airline baggage fees should just be included in the ticket price. It's such a pain having to calculate the extra costs on top of the already pricey tickets. Plus, it would just make everything simpler and less stressful for everyone involved, especially families traveling with kids and all their stuff. Trust me, as an educator who plans school trips, the last thing we need is more hidden fees adding to the headache.

It just makes sense to include airline baggage fees in the ticket price. Every time I book a flight, I know those sneaky fees are coming, and it's frustrating. Let's be real, no one enjoys the surprise additional costs when it could easily be all-inclusive.

Honestly, I'd rather see the fees upfront. If they hide baggage costs in the ticket price, how will I know if I'm getting a good deal or not? At least with separate fees, I can choose what I want to pay for. Let's keep it clear and let me decide if I want to splurge on that extra luggage or not.

That's a hard pass for me. Transparency is key, people! I wanna know what I'm paying for upfront, not hidden in some bundle. Let's keep it real and let me see those fees crystal clear before I hit the "buy" button.

I don't think airline baggage fees should be included in the ticket price. Airlines already charge us for everything under the sun, let's at least have some transparency. I'd rather know upfront what I'm paying for instead of getting hit with surprise charges later on. It's like, come on, just tell me the full price from the start!

I don't think airline baggage fees should be included in the ticket price. It's like paying for only the channels you watch - I'd rather choose what extras I want and pay accordingly. Plus, I'm not thrilled about the idea of everyone covering those costs, whether they actually use the service or not.
