Make some room on your credit card. If you’re heading out of town for Thanksgiving, here is a list of the baggage charges for the major carriers at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport for domestic flights.

THIS IS A TRAVEL TIP: Save time and put the fee on your credit card. If the airline folks have to write out a receipt for your luggage, it can take forever. Trust me, it happened to me last week. Just swipe your card through the automatic check-in and be done with it. It’s quicker.
