It’s waaaaay more than $50 these days. Just flew Iberia and checked luggage of the smallest size starts at 75€ for 15 kilos (basically the weight of the bag itself) and goes up 15€ for every kilo after. Their website is a contradictory disaster, though so who knows what you actually get charged at the counter. We carried everything coming in so that we could bring back a checked bag, so we’ll find out soon enough.
I once got my bag stuck in one of those damn things. Never again.
Yeah, the only time I’ve had a bag problem was on American. I was in the Army and they lost all of my uniforms. American and United are the absolute pits. I won’t even consider a flight on them if there is an alternative. The Walmart of the skies.
Edit for typo
