Major carriers, including Delta, United, and American Airlines, amassed a remarkable £26 Million ($33.3 billion) from baggage fees alone in the previous year, marking a substantial 15 per cent increase from the £23 Million ($29 billion) recorded in 2022.
This staggering sum encompasses fees related to larger carry-on bags, standard checked baggage, and penalties for overweight or extra-large checked bags, constituting 4.1 per cent of the total global airline revenue for the year.
