Well, there are a few exceptions to the rule, because, you know, nothing in life is ever completely free (except for maybe your in-laws' advice, which is always free and always unsolicited). For instance, if your bag is over 50 pounds or 62 linear inches, you'll have to pay a fee. But let's be real, if you're trying to sneak a small elephant onto the plane, you're probably doing it wrong.
