The dollar thirsty American have done it again!
Starting 15th June, American Airlines will charge passengers who check bags at the airport with a US$15 fee for the first piece of luggage and US$25 for the second.
As usual, budget travelers will be hit hardest by the extra fees, while business and first-class passengers won't be affected.
International travellers will not be affected, yet, but those traveling to Canada will.
So what to expect - everyone is bound to experience bigger delays boarding flights because passengers will desperately try to carry bigger carry-on bags with them, then stuff them into jammed overhead storage space.
Let's hope other airlines will not follow.
