American Airlines to Increase Bag Fees

January 19, 2010
American Airlines said yesterday it will change its checked bag charges, effective with tickets purchased on or after Feb. 1, 2010. The charges apply to travel within the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands on American Airlines, American Eagle and AmericanConnection flights. American's checked bag charges will change to $25 for the first checked bag and $35 for the second checked bag. American's top customers are exempt from these checked bag charges. Among the exemptions are American's elite AAdvantage members, full-fare customers, confirmed passengers in the First or Business Class cabin, those traveling on military fares and other travelers booked on the same record locator as a premium customer. aa.com
