Virgin America joined the ranks of airlines that are increasing checked baggage fees last week, thereby pissing off already cash-strapped travelers. But you may receive financial aid at hotels, since some of them are picking up the baggage tab.
Washington, D.C., hotels The Dupont and The Normandy will credit your account for the baggage costs, with a $50 max, if you stay two or more nights through June 30. Kimpton's We've Got Your Bag promotion gives you a room credit for one bag, up to $25, and the offer is ongoing at the company's hotels. ]]>
