Up to a couple years ago you could put your golf bag in the hold at no extra cost. Now most UK carriers charge up to 20 pounds each way plus a further cost to put a suitcase in the hold. On the last golf trip I had to Spain back in June the final cost of the return airfare was in effect double the price if I only turned up with a small bag that could go onboard with me in the cabin. May be looking to hire clubs at the resort in future. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/tom-spousta/2009/02/10/travelers_check_this_baggage_butterflies#c65187 Sat, 21 Mar 2009 08:50:50 +0000 Kastuwiharja [Visitor] c64110@http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/ Perfect analogy! You got your way & they got theirs. Salt in the sea and lime on the land meet each other in the same chicken soup - in the right 'dosage'. I think they have their own 'dosage' that - I hope - better than 'because they can'. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/tom-spousta/2009/02/10/travelers_check_this_baggage_butterflies#c64110 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 22:21:29 +0000 jack rosol [Visitor] c63788@http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/ You are wrong about why they charge for baggage. Correct answer is 'because they can.' Remember the story about why a dog licks himself - because he can!!! When you present a question that starts with "why do they' - at lease 90% of the time the correct answer is 'because they can'. http://www.worldgolf.com/blogs/tom-spousta/2009/02/10/travelers_check_this_baggage_butterflies#c63788
