US Airways raises online baggage fees
January 15, 2010 ·
US Airways is raising baggage fees for travelers who check their luggage online.
The higher online fees match those set in recent days by Delta, Continental, and United.
US Airways said on Friday it will charge $23 to check the first bag online, and $32 to check the second. The fees to check bags at the airport are unchanged at $25 for the first and $35 for the second.
The increase takes effect for tickets purchased Monday for travel beginning Feb. 1.
American Airlines is still charging $20 each way for a first bag, and $30 for the second.
Most of the big carriers added baggage fees in 2008. Southwest Airlines passengers can check two bags for free, and JetBlue passengers can check one for free.
