Paying baggage fees at resort??

[cart-mom]

I couldn't find this when I searched, so please forgive me if I missed it somewhere. Now that most airlines are charging fees for baggage, how does it work when you are going home? Do you have to Be there to check in online and pay the fee or do they just charge it to your room? Do you double dip when you depart home to cover the expense?

This is our first time flying since the fees were added, so I am new to this part of the process and we leave in 2 days and this is starting to confuse me. I know, I haven't even gotten there yet and I'm worried about coming home. Call me crazy.

When you check into your resort, the packet you receive will include information about paying for your baggage fees for your return trip. This can be done by phone (a number is provided) and paid by CC the day before you leave. Then at the RAC desk you simply check your bags that you have already paid for.

As mentioned you will get information concerning this. You pay yourself over the phone a day or two before and you will be fine. You then bring the information to RAC and they will take your bags for you. Good luck and have fun!

As mentioned you do need to call the airline the day before and pay the fees. Just this weekend we used RAC out of the Beach Club. The couple in front of us had not paid their luggage fees. The BAGs rep asked them to get out of line and gave them a phone number and a phone and had them call the airline to pay the fees over the phone. I don't know if they took care of it, because we were the next folks and the BAGs folks took the next party. We were on Jetblue so no fees for our 1st bags. We were a party of 5, but we only had 3 bags....quick and easy and took about 5 minutes total.

I hate not knowing all the details. Now I can focus on the fun!
