Beginning on Feb. 20, 2024, American Airlines raised its checked bag fees.
The new fees for domestic flights are:
$35 for the first checked bag purchased online
$40 for the first checked bag purchased at the airport
$45 for the second checked bag purchased online or at the airport
Short-haul international flights, including Canada and Mexico routes, will see a different fee structure:
$35 for the first checked bag purchased online or at the airport
$45 for the second checked bag purchased online or at the airport
With this move, American now holds the title of the most expensive checked bag fees of all the major U.S. network airlines.-2/20/24. Typically, when one airline does something like this, the others follow and as I am writing this I saw an article come across that United is raising their fees as well.
Heading to a Mexican beach this winter? Keep your eye out as the Portuguese Man o’ War is in the region. This is a jelly-fish like marine animal that can deliver a painful reaction if stung. The good news is the this marine animal doesn’t tend to stay in one place for very long. If you see one in the water or even washed up on the shore, give it a wide berth.
