Air Canada = $25 Bags To US

From Yahoo Canada:
"Air Canada searching for new revenue with $25 bag fee for U.S. flights"

Air Canada will soon begin charging even its tiniest passengers a fee to check one bag when they fly economy class to the United States as Canada's largest air carrier searches for new sources of revenue. A posting on the company's website Friday informed passengers that it plans to begin charging $25 for the first checked bag — and for the first time infants travelling on an adult's lap will also incur the charges if a bag is checked on their behalf. They will, however, still be allowed one car seat and one stroller at no additional cost. The airline is also increasing the current charge for a second bag to $35 from $30, bringing the total cost of two checked bags to $60. The Montreal-based carrier isn't changing its baggage fees for flights within Canada. The first bag is free but a second checked bag costs $20.

^ I think airlines in general are abusing their situation by charging its passengers for everything (food, bags, etc.) Air Canada is not the first airline and probably won't be the last. The only way airlines will change these types of useless policies is if their passengers speak up. ^
