"Some of our highest costs come from transporting baggage. Buddy pass riders checked in more than 436,000 bags in 2013, increasing the strain on operations and driving a real increase in our fuel costs. To help offset this cost, for travel on or after Oct. 1, we will implement baggage fees for buddy pass riders only.
Buddy pass riders, excluding extended family buddies, will pay the same baggage fees as revenue customers, and the fees will be assessed regardless of cabin booked or flown and apply to all destinations. Those who bring oversized bags to the gate will be asked to return to the counter to pay for and check their bags."
