He is a goalie so he has a bag big enough to fit two people in it. Many airlines will argue with him to pay ridiculous fees. Some flights will try to charge him when there is no charge listed on their website. I would not be cheap, but if they are not correct then talk to a sup.

Keyboard wear fee £2 Power surcharge £3 Seat replacement fee £2 Government Tax £5 Validation fee £10 we accept all kinds of payment for an additional charge of just £10, however if you have a solo card issued by a German bank, we will not levy this fee. Opps missed one charge sorry, what a load of rubbish charge! Darren

Having cut most costs as deeply as they can, airlines are now looking to regain profitability and ancillary revenues from their web site, revenue from third-party service providers and revenues for additionnals services on their operation. Hope they will find win-win services with their customers I agree with Kevin : “travel companies need revenue – and quickly” and ancillary revenues for travel cies (specially airlines cies) are not new in the market.
