Golly, how surprising that the number is exactly the same as the others. Collude much or does it just look that way to everyone? It's hard to say anything positive about the big US airlines who somehow manage to get away with shafting customers year after year. When they go bankrupt - as they always do - they find new ways to hammer the unions and pay the incompetent management even more money.
Bloomberg News is reporting that United Airlines plans to start charging $23 for a first piece of checked luggage, a 53 percent increase, to match fees by competitors Delta and Continental.How many days until the rest of the big carriers join the party?
A second bag will cost $32, up from $25, Robin Urbanski, a spokeswoman for Chicago-based parent UAL Corp. told Bloomberg. The prices apply to online check-ins only, with airport transactions $2 more for the first bag and $3 more for the second.
