We usually fly Southwest, so everyone gets two free checked bags. One of them is a personal bag, the other one is a team bag/toolbox/whatever. When we're not flying Southwest, the team pays for all toolboxes that need to be checked, and if people want to check personal bags, they pay for it themselves.
