Bahamasair charges $45 for the first checked bag—listed as "free" on their site but enforced at the airport. In 2023, 17% of travelers paid this fee unexpectedly. Also, Wizz Air (W6) adds a €34 booking fee for flights routed through London (LHR), making a €220 flight cost €254 total. Watch out for "flexible" fares that require $75 change fees. Never assume baggage is free: JetBlue’s carry-on allowance is 22x14x9 inches, but exceeding this costs $25.
