I'm going diving in a couple of days and checked the baggage info for Sun Country and here is what it said.
So I called for clarification from Sun Country. I asked If my bag was under the weight and size requirements for a checked bag would I be charged a fee. Their response from 2 different agents was yes.
These fees are new to me and never gave it a second thought. I don't understand why or how they can charge me extra for this? My take is it should be a checked bag like any other...
Anyone have any insight on this and is it being enforced?
