AA have just announced that they will be charging $15 to check the first suitcase. This is in addition to the $25 that was already in place for the second bag. So now the "full-service" airlines are beginning to act like the discount airlines like RyanAir, who charge extra for about everything except the air in the plane. I know that the current fuel prices are causing a crisis in the airlines, but why not just bite the bullet and increase ticket prices. Instead AA is trying to collect more money via a sneaky backdoor because so many people check bags nowadays, due to TSA security.
So it will not be long before there will be charges for: carry on bags, soft drinks, peanuts, window seats, aisle seats, exit seats....seat belts?
