MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Discount carrier Flair Airlines has raised some other fees, and added a surcharge when customers pay for their flight with a credit card.
The increase comes on the heels of a $10 hike WestJet introduced four months ago for passengers who choose to check their bag with an agent at the airport.
WestJet spokesperson Julia Brunet told CBC News in an email that baggage fees allow the airline to "keep base fares lower for all travellers."
Alaska Airlines said in an email it needed to adjust its fees to "navigate rising operating costs – including high fuel prices."
In an email to CBC News, Air Canada spokesperson Peter Fitzpatrick would only say the airline is "aware of these trends" and has made no recent changes to its baggage policies.
Through an internet archive search, CBC News discovered that sometime after June 8, the airline increased the charge to book or change a flight over the phone from $15 to $25.
