? about Pre-pay baggage fees

[wdw.dreamer]

I was making a list of the things I need to remember to pull out money for before my trip, and was looking up what my baggage fees would be

I am flying nwa to mco and continental home

if you pre-pay on nwa.com it is $15 for the first and $25 for the second. If you wait and pay at the airport kiosk or desk it is a $5 surcharge for each bag. It is the same info on the continental site

I can't find anywhere even after I pull up my ressie where I can pre pay for my bags. Am I reading this wrong?

Help please

Do an on-line check in for your flights. You can do that up to 24 hours before your flight. At that time, you'll be asked how many bags you wish to check and then they'll charge them to your credit card. That is how it works for NWA/Delta. I'm sure it will be the same for Continental.

If you are staying at a Disney resort, you can have BAGS take care of this for you more than 24 hours before you leave. That is the service that does the Resort Airline Check in for flights out of MCO. I don't believe you have to use ME for the service, although we did. An informational letter is left on your door a few days before you leave. There is an 800 number to call to take care of checking you in for your return flight. They'll need your confirmation number and credit card info for the bags. Then, the day before or morning of your check out, your boarding passes and baggage claim stickers will be left on your door.

If you're not staying at a Disney resort and don't have a web-enabled phone or internet, check with your concierge and they'll help you check in for your flight and get your pre-paid luggage set up.

I think the airlines don't want to get the bag numbers too early because people will be changing their minds, etc. If they wait until 24 hours, chances are pretty good you'll know exactly how many bags you need to check.

I hope this helps you. Have a great trip.
