American Airlines is now doing away with the complimentary service and will start charging for basic economy passengers., basic economy passengers will have to pay $75 for their first checked luggage for many international destinations. The second bag will cost $100. Some other destinations in Central and South Americas, plus Haiti, will require basic economy passengers to pay $45 for the first checked luggage.
For many years, customers could check one or two bags on almost any airline without paying a fee. That began to change during a travel slump caused by the financial crisis of 2008. Now, most U.S. airlines other than Southwest charge even for a single bag, although fees are usually waived for customers who buy high-fare tickets or carry the airline’s credit card.
American Airlines and Southwest Airlines said that they expect to be solidly profitable in the second quarter. They joined Delta Air Lines and United Airlines in giving an upbeat outlook for the April-through-June period, which includes the start of peak season for carriers.
