American Airlines Needs More Cash So We'll Pay More To Check Our Bags
Apparently we are in the middle of a fee fiasco. Delta and Continental just slapped us all with another $5 for checking a suitcase at the airport, and now American Airlines wants to get in on the fee-for-all as well. They’re upping their first and second checked baggage fees by $5.
Now your first bag will cost $20 to get under the plane’s belly, and the second bag will be $30. These new charges begin for tickets purchased on or after August 14, so you only have a few weeks to save a couple bucks on your next trip.
Despite their need to raise more cash, the airline is also in a giving mood; they’re looking for suggestions on what they should name their new travel app on Facebook. All you have to do is add their travel bag application, test out the new fare finder, and give it a snazzy name. Once complete, you’ll be entered for a chance to win 25,000 AAdvantage miles—too bad they’ll be way too difficult to cash in.
