US Air imitates United Airlines' fee for checked bag

After United Airlines, its now U.S. Airways' turn to impose a $25 charge for the second checked bag on all domestic and international flights. The fee will be applied started May 5. The fee will not apply to elite members of Star Alliance, first class and Envoy passengers, or Dividend Miles Preferred members.

Am sure, its only a matter of time before other airlines follow suit. Unless you meet the eligibility criteria for fee waiver, the $25 fee is another reason to travel light. That will also save airlines' bag handlers from breaking their backs handling customers' overloaded bags, as well as save the customer some time when waiting endlessly for all of their bags to come in the baggage pickup area.
