Baggage Fees
 There
have recently been changes in baggage policies for some of the major carriers.
Northwest Airlines' has changed it’s checked luggage policy for
travel within the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. The
fee for checked luggage weighing over 50 pounds up to 70 pounds is $25
and the fee for luggage weighing over 70 pounds up to 100 pounds is $50.
Luggage weighing over 100 pounds will not be accepted as checked luggage.
The free luggage quantity allowance policy remains the same: two pieces
of checked luggage each not exceeding 62 linear inches (length plus width
plus height) and one carry-on that fits in the overhead bin or under the
seat in front of you.
American has followed Northwest's lead in charging a new $25 fee when
a customer checks a 50- to 70-pound bag for a domestic flight. American
also followed Northwest by reducing the fee for 70-plus pound baggage
from $80 to $50. American’s new fees do not apply to customers traveling
on tickets purchased before Dec. 4.
United has increased its domestic excess baggage charges
from $75 to $80.
