Airlines around the world are charging their passengers who checked in more than one baggage. Budget carriers/airlines have begun that charges. First almost all airlines restricted the size of your baggage that you could bring carry along into the passenger area and keep it in baggage compartment above your head.
After limiting those spaces, they are squeezing you on the checked in baggage. In a way, you have to pay no matter what and as long as you travel. You can still check in as many baggages as you want as long as you are willing to pay the premium.
Budget carriers such as Spirit Airlines (free for 1st bag), Ryanair and Easyjet have been charging passengers for checked in bags. Looks like the regional budget carriers (Airasia, Jestar Airways and Tiger Airways) will commence such step to earn a little bit extra bearing in mind the rising costs.
Be prepared to lots more of cash when you travel so that you could pay for the extra baggages charges. Maybe credit card payment facilities have to be put in place to cater for such payments. Heard that many airports don't cater for such and people have to go through the trouble of re-packing by throwing away some personal stuff in the airport. Can you beat that?
The higher they charge, the more inconvenience the airlines will create for you.

What else will the airlines think of? Charge you according to your weight?

I'm leaving for Melbourne tomorrow & I think my check in baggage will probably be over by 1 or 2kg! gosh! i hope they dun make me repack there & den! =.=
Yes.
It is pretty common for european budget airlines.
But still cheap. It is around 2euro per pcs
airlines or airport operators are taking advantage here. profit margins are going down and they are taking any chance just to earn that little bit more but at the expense of passengers like u and me
