US Airways Baggage Fee Soars 33%. Think Of All The Money You'll Save!

By Dan Filler

ADVERTISEMENTS

Usairways-toy-plane-model Today, over at usairways.com, I learned that now I could save money on checked baggaged fees by paying online.   Checked bag fee change - lower fee online, the website announces in its News column.  But when I clicked through, I discovered that this was actually a way of telling us that checked bag fees are going up!  The page announcing the change in policy explains: 


Save time and money when you check in online. Beginning July 9, 2009, you'll be able to pay for checked bags when you check in online ? $15 for your first checked bag and $25 for your second. For customers who choose to pay for checked bags at the airport, there will be an additional $5 service fee, so save a few when you check in online!

The only problem is that $15 is the old fee. Now, apparently, it costs $20 to check your first bag.  I understand that the airlines are nickel and diming their way to profitability.  But for the average person who doesn't track baggage fees, this is pretty deceptive.  But maybe we all deserve it.  We chose to search out the lowest price, irrespective of service level.  Any time now, expect to drop $10 for the fake smile and "bye bye now" that we've come to expect as we de-plane.
