US Airways raises online baggage fees
|
US Airways on Friday raised 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 it will charge $23 to check the first bag online, and $32 to check the second. That's an increase from the previous online checked bag fees of $20 and $30.
The fees to check bags at the airport are unchanged at the level set by US Airways in August -- $25 for the first and $35 for the second. The increase in the past week by Delta, Continental, and United, brought their fees paid at the airport to the same level as US Airways.
The increase takes effect for tickets purchased Monday for travel beginning Feb. 1.
American Airlines still charges $20 each way for a first bag, and $30 for the second.
Southwest Airlines passengers can check two bags for free, and JetBlue passengers can check one for free.
