American Airlines sued for $5MM (class action) for not refunding baggage fee

Why would they refund the fee? It's not a guarantee that it will arrive on time; It's a guarantee that they will check it. All these people are going to do it drive up the price of checking bags.

If you bought a ticket to Los Angeles and the flight actually landed in Bangor, Maine, then would you want a refund?

The baggage handling fee comes with the implication that the bags will arrive where you, the customer will arrive... A predetermined destination.
