What users are saying: The self-service luggage carts available throughout the terminal are a practical resource for those with heavy or large amounts of luggage. However, some users have mentioned that the USD 9.00 fee per cart can be high, especially for those who only need them for a few minutes to move between gates or baggage claim areas.
