if you're paying 200 pounds in excess baggage fee, the cost of the taxi

How did you arrive at that conclusion?

because that's what some airlines charge


And it's about £25 per extra bag with one bag included.

for the first bag, many airlines have a much higher charge for the second
extra bag, typically 60-70 pounds

which (plus the first bag's 25 quid) times 2 is 200 quid (close enough)

You seem to assume that everyone flies on LCCs; some of us prefer, and can
afford, not to.

No, even some of the majors charge this

These are the baggage allowances I normally get:

Carry on:
1 handbag/laptop bag (max. 23kg / 51lb and up to 45 x 36 x 20cm / 18 x 14
x
8in)
plus
1 additional cabin bag (max. 23kg / 51lb and up to 56 x 45 x 25cm / 22 x
18
x 10in)

Checked:
2 bags (max. 32kg / 70lb per bag)

unless flying to a short list of countries, that will be premium economy
then - so you've paid how much extra for the flight to get this "free" bag?
