If those 5 airlines would have said “never ever” I might believe them. Let’s hope that’s what they meant.
I’m betting the administration of carry-on fees would be a nightmare for the airlines. Is a flight attendant or gate person going to ask for a receipt for the bag before passenger can board? Then what, collect a fee if it wasn’t collected online or at check-in? Talk about holding up boarding process. The only reason they won’t jump on the bandwagon is because it will cost them more than they collect in $$ or on time departures to make this dumb idea work.
