With the ever increasing fuel costs, airlines are scrambling to find ways to offset those costs and maintain profitability. American Airlines has announced layoffs and a fee for the first piece of checked luggage:
“…The nation’s largest carrier said Wednesday the fee for the first checked bag starts June 15 and that it would raise other fees for services ranging from reservation help to oversized bags. The other fees will mostly range from $5 to $50 per service, the airline said.”

American Airlines and the other carriers will be looking for additional ways to generate revenue. To avoid any unpleasant surprises, check the web site of the airlines that you will be using. Policies and fees will certainly be modified as operating costs continue to escalate.
