AA: No More Free Domestic Checked Luggage For Non-Elites
United just announced that they will start charging for all checked luggage starting with tickets bought on 06/13 for travel on 08/13 or later.
This affects coach travel within Canada/US/Puerto Rico/USVI.
The first checked bag will be $15 each way, the 2nd checked bag is $25 each way.
Additionally, checking a 3rd bag or an overweight or oversized bag will now set you back $125!
United and Star Alliance elite members, along with anyone traveling on the same itinerary as an elite member, will continue to be able to check 2 bags for free.
In other news, United has won the title of Worst. Airline. Ever. Congrats UA!
