More on the topic of bags, West Jet has given people a lot of notice for this, its not like this is in effect NOW. January 19, 2011 is when this begins. If you booked a flight prior to November 3 2010 for travel after Jan 19 this still won't apply to you, you can stil bring 2 checked bags free of charge.
If you book a flight on or AFTER Nov. 3 for travel on or AFTER Jan 19 then this will apply.

I think it was smart they didn't try for a cash grab over the holiday season.

I think its also important to note that they lowered the fee for a 3rd bag to $50.00, and a LARGE number of people who bring 2 bags tend to bring a 3rd, this saves this group of people $5 (as their original fee for a 3rd bag was $75).
