If it hasn't been mentioned in this thread, keep that in mind.
WestJet doesn't charge for 2 checked bags per person, AC matches that (domestically anyway, not sure internationally), and Southwest in the US doesn't charge either. Most of the US legacy carriers do have bag charges though, so beware.

It's definitely a great point. I guess people just need to be aware of the baggage fees, the first post in this thread has a link to a baggage fee chart (updated Feb 15, 2010). Would be nice if it included AC and WestJet.
For me personally I travel pretty light so it's not really an issue.
