Nope. Most airlines allow you to gate check a bag at no cost, especially when the flight is full or overbooked. - ReluctantCynic Apr 5, 11:42 1
- aha, so if they are overbooked and you checked a bag, that pretty much guarantees you'll be on board because they won't want to find you bag? -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 5, 11:44
On AA and DL (the two airlines I've mostly flown lately) they *always* make an announcement at the gate - ty97 Apr 5, 11:41
No charge. It's a small plane, so I would likely have had to check. - Mop Apr 5, 11:41
no. they practically beg you to give them carry-ons to check free at that point -- nm - the brain Apr 5, 11:41
