US Airways Adopts Second Bag Fee
US Airways today joined United Airlines in charging
passengers $25 to check a second bag each way. US Airways said the new
fee is effective for tickets booked on or after Feb. 26 for travel
beginning May 5. US Airways said the new fee applies to flights within
the United States, and to and from Canada, Latin America, the Caribbean
and Europe, which is in contrast to United's policy, which does not
apply to itineraries that include international flights, except those
to Canada. Like United, US Airways is making some passengers
immune to the fee, including preferred frequent flyer members,
passengers in first class and elite Star Alliance members. US Airways
also said it would exempt active military and unaccompanied children.
United earlier this month enacted a similar baggage charge for travel
beginning May 5 (BTNonline, Feb. 4). HT: BTNonline
