Carry on, anyone?

$3.4 BILLION dollars.

 That’s how much airlines collected in bag fees in 2010.

Yup, that $50 bucks per bag can really add up. The total amount of baggage fees collected last year was up 24% from 2009.

But it doesn’t end there. Reservation and change fees added another $2.3 billion to the airlines’ coffers. Surprisingly, that's down 3% from 2009.
