The airlines have now figured out another way to charge us. Last month when we went on vacation we were only aloud to bring one bag each without being charged extra (our car seat did not count towards this, thank goodness). Now the rumors are true and we will be paying each way to check bags, see the new note from United Airlines.
Before your next trip with us, we would like you to know about changes to our checked baggage policy and revised fees for excess, overweight, over sized baggage and special items, effective for travel on or after August 18, 2008. If you purchase a United Economy® ticket on or after June 13, 2008 for travel on or after August 18, 2008, a $15 service fee will apply, each way, to check your first piece of baggage. This fee applies to travel within the United States, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Canada.
I'm not sure that I am liking all these changes, another rumor because of the gas prices will be charging people their ticket prices based on their weight, because heavier set people cause the plane to use more gas - I would like to see how that one would pass through the public comments.
