Summary
Airlines are raising prices for checking bags at the airport compared to purchasing the service online in advance. This is to cover higher costs and to encourage travelers to pay ahead of time to free up congestion at the airport. Southwest Airlines is an outlier as it allows customers to check two bags for free.
