Global airlines raked in $33 BILLION from baggage fees alone in 2023

Airlines including Delta, United and American pocketed a staggering $33.3 billion from just baggage fees last year - a sharp 15 percent rise from $29 billion in 2022.

This sum is solely made up of fees from larger carry-on bags, standard checked baggage fees, and fines for overweight or extra large checked bags and accounted for 4.1 percent of global airline revenue last year.

The report, on the top 20 non-low cost carriers, comes as American Airlines has sparked backlash after for the first time in almost six years.
