Checked Baggage Fees Due At American Airlines

Filed in archive Travel News by Gloria Gamat on May 22, 2008

The "norm" in air travel is that, each passenger has an allowable weight for checked-in baggages for free. If you exceed that weight, you pay for the excess. That is true anywhere, in all airlines.

Now? Not anymore.

American Airlines is going to charge for checked baggage!

The fee for the first checked bag marks the first time that an airline will charge for a service that has always been included in the airfare.

Passengers will be charged $15 for their first piece of luggage. The airline, blaming high fuel costs, also plans other fee hikes, domestic flight cutbacks and layoffs.


What has the world become, why is this happening??? Yup. Blame it on the gas and tax!

Well...gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "traveling light", don't you think?

Shocks.
