Who doesn't check for baggage fees and does their research before flying? I wouldn't be worried about the $25 if you paid $750 per person for a airline ticket. That's a lot.

and obviously the jetblue plus addition its not free so she would have end up paying the same after all

If you purchased Jet Blue plus, it would have only cost you $15 per bag.

Yeah you have to do your research. Currently the only airline I know that doesn't charge for bags is Southwest. You could always just bring carry-ons.

I agree with babygrljaz, why did the cruise only get a 3 star??

One would think that you would know by now that most charge for luggage and ask your agent. However, if you can afford a cruise, $100 more shouldn't be that big a deal.

so why are you rating the cruise 3 star? that's on the airline or possibly your agent...j/s

Southwest allows 2 bags per person at no charge. Although, they don't fly into some airports.

Most airlines charge for each bag . You should always ask about extra charges, or at least go online to the airline website and check as to additional charges.
