THIS IS JUST ONE OF MANY AIRLINES THAT IS CHARGING FOR CHECKED BAGS

Today, US Airways announced a change to our baggage policy. Beginning May 5, 2008, we’ll charge $25 for a second checked bag. The new fee applies to travel on or after May 5 for tickets purchased on or after February 26, 2008.

Dividend Miles Preferred members (and anyone traveling on the same reservation) are exempt from the fee. We’re also waiving the fee for:
• Confirmed First Class and Envoy passengers
• Passengers with Star Alliance Silver or Gold status
• Active military personnel in uniform and with ID
• Unaccompanied minors
• Passengers checking personal assistive devices
We’re making these changes to offset record fuel prices and rising airline related expenses. We simply must make changes to the way we do business to provide the high level of service that our passengers have come to expect from US Airways. Also, we’re doing all we can to keep fares low. With this policy change, we’re able to give travelers the choice to avoid the fee and pack fewer items. With fewer bags to process, we save both money and fuel and can pass that savings on to our customers.

We’ve put together a list of questions and answers with policy details and other information. Or, you can take a look at our baggage policies.
