YIKES! AA to Charge For 1st Checked Bag

I warned everyone back in February that the airlines were going to go to Ala Carte pricing. Well, AA is following Spirit Airlines who began this practice months ago. Customers who purchase domestic economy class tickets on or after June 15, 2008 will be charged $15 each way for the first checked bag and $25 each way for the second checked bag. Our carry-on policy of one personal item (such as a purse or laptop bag) plus one bag remains in place.
