baggage fees

[aytbpb]

anyone know if it is true that if you check in at the kiosk in ord for aa flight and the child is listed in reservation as child do you get free luggage for them?

You can get a carseat or similar "exception" item checked for free if you're with kids.

Also with an infant? Might be cheaper then paying overweight.

Most airports have those rent-an-infant booth which you can use. (And you are getting another US Airways hit with it).

i am not talking about carseats or strollers i know those are free. i was told by someone that they once checked in and the reservation said child and they were not charged for the regular suitcase. does anyone have any info on that? seems it was only aa.

There's no rule like that, but if you select in the kiosk that you are checking a child exception item (carseat, etc) it will print out a free checked luggage sticker.   I suppose a nice agent may circumvent the system like that.

In my good days I checked in (when needed) 100's lbs, and b"h never paid a penny.

We all did.
two 50lb bags were free up until three and a half years ago.
Unless your good days lasted less than that....

They lasted less, or better said, till earlier than that.

And I did not say 100lbs, I said 100's.
I could still do it from most airports.

I know that on most airlines when you fly to israel with a "child" ticket you get 20 lb bag for the child I assume domestic if baggage is free then child also gets some sort of free baggage
