Passengers traveling on Caribbean Airlines (CAL) will soon be required to pay for their bags as the carrier moves to bring its baggage policies in line with its competitors.
According to Trinidad's Business Day magazine, while no date has been set for the introduction of the charges, sources believe the policy could be implemented before year end.
Although other carriers have been charging passengers for their bags, CAL has continued with it two pieces free policy.
Business Day has also reported that passengers have come up with a method to beat the system. They reportedly use competing airlines to travel to their destination but return on CAL to take advantage of its free bags policy.
CAL is said to be hurting because of the lower fares being offered by the competition on routes like Fort Lauderdale and New York, where JetBlue is chipping away at its market share and on the Toronto service, where it faces tough competition from WestJet.
