Airline charging for stroller or car seat?

bethm03 · May 2013

Our family will be taking a trip soon and we booked through an airline we don't usually fly through. We flew once with DD last year and we were not charged for either item, a stroller or car seat. But this airline only allows one. Has anyone else had this issue? I thought across the bored there was no charge for these items.

I've never experienced this. I wonder if what PP says about gate checking vs. baggage checking makes a difference. Have you spoken to the airline directly about this yet?

Do you have any friends that are travel agents? They would know more about specific airline policies.

We have only flown with Delta. They did not charge us for car seat, stroller, or pak n play. My sister has flown a few times with my nephew and she was charged. Not sure which airline it was though. We were talking about flights at work recently and one of my coworkers said some airlines are starting to charge for gate checking items.

Call the airline. Policies change all the time, and it's the only way you will know for sure.

Thanks for the replies. My husband had called in and this is what they told him. I was kind of aggitated about so I called in myself and they said they would do one free item when we check our luggage and then they would just gate check the stroller for no charge.
