ALERT!!! United Joins American in Charging $15 for FIRST Checked-Bag

Filed under: Airline Fees, United — Rick Seaney @ 2:03 pm

Well, we could see this one coming a mile away.

United Airlines will start charging its passengers $15 for the privilege of checking a first bag. Oh, and that $15 charge is one-way. If you check a second bag with United, that one’ll set you back $25, one-way.

United’s first checked-bag fee goes into effect with tickets purchased beginning…tomorrow (American, the first airline to announce implementation of such a fee, will impose its fee on tickets purchased beginning on Sunday).

My only comment: who will be next?

  1. Hooray! Now it seems like US Airways has announced that, not only will it charge $15 for the first bag starting in July, but it will also charge $2 per non-alcoholic drink in coach starting August 1. Gee, what could be next ?!?!
