Northwest Joins “First Checked-Bag Fee” Club

July 9, 2008 | Posted in: Airline News,Northwest

And then there were four.

Yes, Northwest will now charge $15 one-way for a first checked-bag, joining American, United and US Airways.

And since Northwest and Delta are merging, it’s not much of a leap to see Delta signing on for this fee soon. And, of the 6 legacy carriers, that’ll mean Continental will be all alone without a first checked-bag fee, and I strongly suspect they won’t like being all alone…

Meanwhile, Northwest’s new $15 “first checked-bag” fee goes into effect for tickets purchased on or after July 10, 2008 for travel on or after August 28.

For other “extra” charges, please see our Airline Fee Chart.
