Flyer Beware - Big Fees for Baggage
Sep
27
Get ready travelers... apparently some of the big U.S. airlines are changing baggage fees on some flights.
A few things you may like to investigate with your airline prior to your departure:
- Continental Airlines - Beginning September 14, 2009 travelers with a second bag will be charged $25.00 for travel between the US, Mexico, Central and South America - exception Brazil.
- Delta Air Lines - $30.00 to check that second bag for flights to Mexico, Caribbean, Central and South America - exception Brazil. Tickets purchased September 19 for travel beginning October 13.
- United Airlines - A fee of $27.00 for a second bag US, Canada, Mexico and Caribbean
Supposedly, some airlines are offering discounts to travelers if they pay the baggage charge online instead of at the airport.
I have always enjoyed bringing back my second bag filled with all my "little treasures". I guess I still can, only for a price....

this has been going on for some time with Alaska Airlines, US Air and SW Air. I broke my luggage habit years ago. Now I only travel with what I can carry. If I want to bring something home, I just wiegh the odds of it getting lost in luggage, damaged or illegal to bring back to the US. Generally I end up talking myself out of anything that I cannot wear. Plus lately, we are so fortunate that our best friends built a home near PV a few years ago, so now I just get on the plane with my passport and money. It feels more like a commute than it does a trip. It is less than a 2 hour flight out of Phoenix. I spend 1 hour each way each day to travel to my work. A good piece of carry on luggage can really make the difference. If us women would get over our shoe issues, we find so much more space for other things.
Chrissy, I still have some work to do with the luggage thing. I must admit, I am improving the more I travel. Some excellent advise, thanks!
