Check-in bag charges coming to the US

From an article about complaints against airlines in the US is a mention about the introduction of charges for checked bags (note the reaction prediction [my italics]).

From an article about complaints against airlines in the US is a mention about the introduction of charges for checked bags (note the reaction prediction [my italics]).

The increase in lost bags comes as at least one domestic carrier —
Spirit Airlines — plans a new fee for passengers who check their
bags. Come June, Spirit will charge $5 each for one or two checked
bags if the ticket was booked online and $10 each for passengers who
do not book online.

Headley does not think the idea will fly with consumers who long have
expected their ticket prices to include a checked bag or two. "It
will set off an absolute atomic bomb," he said.
