And Flair Airlines has a new fee: a charge for paying for your flight with a credit card.WestJet is hiking first and second check bag fees by $5 for travel booked on or after Feb. 15. Here's the good news: Airfares have declined in Canada. The bad news? You might wind up paying more in added fees.
Passengers might "get caught with another $100 in fees they weren't expecting, which means profits for the airlines," he said. WestJet spokesperson Julia Brunet told CBC News in an email that baggage fees allow the airline to "keep base fares lower for all travellers." The airline also upped its flight change and cancellation fees. For example, the price to change a flight a week or more before departure has jumped 155 per cent to $74 from $29.
Anshul Singh, founder of travel and loyalty-program website Points, Miles and Bling, says he applauds the airlines for being upfront about their fees, which are clearly laid out on their websites.
