Virgin America Adds New Bag Fee ($15 for first checked-bag)

March 20, 2009 | Posted in: Airline News

And another one bites the dust…

Yes, no more free checked-bags on Virgin America. Like most of the other U.S. carriers, Virgin will now charge $15 for a first piece of checked luggage.

You can’t blame them – the fee, though widely-disliked, has gained widespread acceptance (and makes the airlines a ton of money). Those who really hate it have switched to carryon bags, while others grumble – and pay the fee.

Two glimmers of good news – VA has reduced its fee for a second checked bag, from $25 to $15 – and reduced its fee for online ticket changes/ cancellations — from $75 to $50.
