Baggage fees can really add up, especially this time of year when people pack presents. We went around to all five carriers that use Springfield-Branson National Airport to see which ones have cheaper baggage fees. We found out, if you're checking more than one 50-pound bag, you should be prepared to pay a hefty price.

Allegiant, American, United, Northwest and Delta -- all fly in and out of Springfield and all charge baggage fees. For the majority of these airlines, it's $15 for the first checked bag and $25 for the second -- each way.

Allegiant is the cheapest, charging $15 for both the first and second bag if you buy when you book your ticket. If you buy at check-in, the cost goes up.

If you're checking more than two bags, you'll shell out the big bucks -- anywhere from $100 to $200 more per bag. You could end up paying triple, not only for the additional luggage but also if it's overweight and oversize.

All these extra fees have a lot of passengers rethinking the way they pack.

“The fees were outrageous, so we decided we're going to have to cram everything into carry-ons, so we just started looking for luggage that was carry-on size and that would fit everything,” said Cristen Carlon of Savannah, Ga.

“More people will do more carry-on because of the fact they don't want to pay the fee,” said Carlene Raynaud of Waco, Texas.
