Surcharge for paying the checked baggage fee at the airport . .

The cost:  $2 to $5 each way.

Why you're being charged:  The regular $15 to $35 check bag fee was bad enough.  Now, in an attempt to boost profits and reduce airport lines, most major air carriers, are also charging extra if you pay checked baggage fees curbside or at a ticket counter or a kiosk.  So, before leaving home, be sure to prepay the fee at the airline's website, then print your e-ticket.
