    Checked bag not being included seems more fair to me. Previously the light packers were subsidizing the heavy packers, and that’s the wrong way around if we want to encourage lower emissions.

        Hopefully, but depends on competition.

        That being said, as someone who places climate change as their top priority, flights getting more expensive is very low on my list of things to be concerned about.

        Depends. Toronto-Calgary 300$ because flair… Montreal-Calgary 800$ because no flair. Recently, flair is now charging 400 for the same route…

      If everyone has giant carry-ons, boarding/deplaning, and delays are common, requiring larger buffers and eats into costs. Free check and no carry on would actually be better.
