The Free Baggage Allowance (FBA) for Economy Class passengers traveling to and from
North America would be adjusted for tickets issued on or after 21 July 2008. There is no
change in the allowance for those traveling in First or Business Class or for all passengers
traveling to other destinations.

The maximum weight allowed for each bag carried by an Economy Class passenger flying to
and from North America will be revised from 32 kilograms to 23 kilograms (50 pounds),
with a maximum of two bags. The same weight allowance applies to infants traveling at 10
per cent of the applicable adult fare and not occupying a seat, though only one bag is
allowed.

A flat charge for each bag above 23kg and below 32kg will be US$25 or the equivalent in
local currency. Above 32kg, the existing excess baggage charges for each additional piece
will apply.

The allowable size for each piece of baggage carried by an Economy Class passenger to and
from North America remains unchanged at 158cm (62 inches) in any combination of the
three dimensions. The three dimensions for infant luggage must not exceed 115cm
(45inches).

American Airlines, United Airlines and US Airways are now charging US$15 for the first piece of checked luggage and US$25 charge for checking a second bag if you are flying on Economy Class within USA

Sooner or later other airlines will follow suit and passengers one day will have to pay to go to the toilet on the plane.
