Here’s the good news: Airfares have declined in Canada. The bad news? You might wind up paying more in added fees. WestJet, along with several U.S. airlines, recently hiked its checked-bag charges. And Flair Airlines has a new fee: a charge for paying for your flight with a credit card.

The fact that Air Canada and Air Transit both charge extra for baggage for international flights now irks me to no end. Should leave this kind of BS to discount flight companies.

Air Canada does only if you pick the most rock bottom fare.

Yes but when you're searching online they advertise pricing with the rock bottom fare. IMO shouldn't exist at all
