I've noticed that Travelocity and Expedia do not tell you their fees until very late in the booking process. They also have a habit of raising ticket prices during booking.

Living in a small town with a relatively big airport, I only have a few airlines to choose from, and Southwest is not one of them. We usually fly Airtran, but Delta and United will sometimes have the best route too. (See my example above on why I don't usually book the cheapest tickets.) Either way, ALL of the airlines that fly out of Bloomington charge for baggage.
