Checking Luggage at AA
My TA just emailed me a blurb that American Airlines effective Dec 15 will begin to charge $25 per piece of checked luggage that weighs between 50 and 70 pounds.Bags 70-100 will be charged $50.Naturally, the idea wud be to check at curbside whenever possible.This is not excess baggage but regular checked bags.

Hi,<BR><BR>I think that the special baggage fee applies only for travel during the Holiday season, and may only apply to certain destinations.<BR>Most airlines have special baggage rules during the heavy holidays travel season.<BR>You should call AA directly to find out if any baggage regulations apply to your dates or destination.<BR><BR>Alexandra

It's not just AA that is charging for excess baggage weight. Northwest is also charging the same amount for bags over 50 pounds and it is not a seasonal thing. The airlines are trying to find ways of generating revenue any way they can. I even read somewhere that one airline (Continental I think) was considering charging for advance seat assignments! I also suspect that the other major US airlines are also going to charge extra for luggage over 50lbs if they aren't already.
