Airline Baggage Policy Changes
July 31, 2008
It was brought to my attention earlier today that American Airlines, NorthWest Airlines, United, and US Airways have all begun charging for any and all checked luggage. This means that, the next time that I fly, if I want to take anything more than a change of clothes or two, I will have to pay a $10-$15 fee just to have my luggage shipped. I knew this day would come, but it’s still disheartening. Prices for tickets are already rising sharply and all of the airlines are still losing billions of dollars a year. It won’t take long until every airline begins to charge $10, $15, or $30 per checked bag.
More details about the changes can be found at this page on Expedia’s website.
