Beginning May 5, 2008, US Airways will begin assessing a $25 fee for a passenger’s second checked bag each way. Travelers who purchased tickets on or before February 26, 2008 are exempt from this policy change.

Customers may check one bag for free and a second bag for a $25 service fee each way. Oversized bags or those weighing more than 50 lbs. now start at $50 per bag each way and increase depending on weight and the number of bags. This policy applies to all flights within the U.S., to and from Canada, Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe.

United Airlines

United’s new checked bag policy applies to tickets purchased on or after February 4, 2008, for travel beginning on May 5, 2008.

Customers who purchase nonrefundable domestic economy tickets may check one bag for free and a second bag for a $25 service fee each way. Oversized bags or those weighing more than 50 lbs. now cost $100 per bag each way. Items that require special handling also have new prices.

For customers who have at least Premier status in Mileage Plus or Silver status with Star Alliance, there are no changes to the number of bags they can check for free.

This new checked bag policy also applies to travel beginning within the U.S. and to/from Canada, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and St. Thomas.

For international flights (except Canada), checking a second bag will continue to be free and the cost to check more bags or bags that are overweight or need special handling varies by destination.

Na Gott sei Dank. Mein Ticket für ATL-LAS habe ich schon letztes Jahr gekauft. Hat die Marketingabteilung wohl wieder ein Instrument für mehr Einnahmen gefunden. Ich hoffe mal, dass die Leute nun nicht alles im Handgepäck verstauen, würde mich nicht wundern.

Das ist ja interessant. Zum Glueck haben wir die Mileage Plus Karte:-)

Aber mich wuerde mal interessieren, ob die Definition domestic auch bedeutet, wenn man von FRA nach Denver und weiter nach Las Vegas fliegt, ist dann auf der letzten Etappe fuer den 2. Koffer auch die Gebuehr von 25 USD faellig?

Gruss mat

Sowie ich das lese: Bei United nein, bei US Airways ja.

Ach ja: Ne Karte hat glaube ich jeder. Du brauchst auch Status, also mind. FTL (LH) oder Silver (US/UA) ...
