Baggage Fees
Tuesday, January 19, 2010

(DiveTravelBusinessNews.com - January 19, 2010) -- For tickets purchase on or after Feb1, American Airlines is increasing its checked bag charges to $25 for the first checked bag and $35 for the second checked bag, payable at the airport on the day of travel. American had been charging $20 and $30, respectively.

Baggage charges apply to travel within the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands on American Airlines, American Eagle and AmericanConnection flights. As before, American's top customers are exempt from these checked bag charges. Among the exemptions to the charges are American's elite AAdvantage members, full-fare customers, confirmed passengers in the First or Business Class cabin, those traveling on military fares, and other travelers booked on the same record locator as the premium customer.

American’s move follows similar fee hikes by US Airways, Delta Air Lines, Continental Airlines and United Airlines. For more information, visit www.aa.com.
