Airline Checked Baggage News Roundup…

DDMS IconNever Miss Another Deal - Follow DansDeals on Facebook

Spirit will now charge $10 per checked bag each way if pre-reserved online, and $20 per checked bag each way at the airport. As 1 of the 2 (Skybus being the other) US based “ULCC’s” (ultra-low-cost carriers) they do not offer any free checked baggage allowance.

Effective 01/29/08, Southwest has quietly eliminated the 3rd free checked bag from their free allowance.

In the good-news department, none of the “Big-6” carriers have as of yet matched United’s new stingy 1 free checked bag policy.

    My son flew on Spirit Air yesterday. The price of a bag is $5 if you book it previously on line, and $10 at the airport.

    Dan, I got an interesting deal in the mail:

    Shop now for special select flowers & gifts and earn 25 AAdvantage miles per $1 spent…
    Use promo code AAL9C when you shop at 1800flowers.com/aa or simply call 1-800-flowers and mention the code.

    In other words, if you need some AA miles you can buy them at only 4c a piece and get some free flowers with them!

    Can anyone help me? I have a Palm Centro and I want to be able to write Hebrew on it. It seems that PiLoc does not support the Centro or the Treo 755p, does anybody out there know a work around or of a diffrent program I could use?
