American Airlines Charges $15 for First Bag, $140 for Three
Travelers seek ways to pack light and save
Effective June 15 American Airlines will begin charging fees for all checked in luggage; $15 for the first bag, $25 for the second bag and $100 for the third bag. This is a desperate act to try to create revenue to cover jet fuel costs that have risen at unprecedented rates. Baggage weight adds drag to the plane and adds to the cost of fueling the aircraft.
