Look forward to receiving Cheque at least for $ 56.70 Thank you in anticipation of your prompt attention to our issue. Ronald Freeman 5340 Lakeshore Road Unit 804 Burlington Ontario L7L7A8

Please note that we are not the airline and are not associated with it. We are an independent website. Now, with respect to your query. The airline can not charge you for 3 checkin bags if you have carried 2. Second, please check whether you were carrying anything which would have been deemed to be a check in baggage. Even an additional piece apart from the 2 check-in bags allowance could be deemed to be the third check in bag. If that was not the case, then please get in touch with the airline directly and seek an explanation from them.
