American Airlines Copies U.S. Rivals by Hiking Checked Baggage Fees
Baggage is transported on the tarmac past American Airlines Group Inc. planes at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport in Grapevine, Texas. American became the last of the three largest U.S. carriers to boost its fee for a first checked bag, putting the charge for a first bag at $30. Patrick T. Fallon / Bloomberg
Skift Take: JetBlue started this round of bag fee hikes and United and Delta followed. American took a tiny bit longer, but bowed to the inevitable.
