Hurry, buy that ticket before your bag fee goes up

13.01.10

United Airlines, which launched all these fees on checked bags nearly two years ago, has now joined Continental Airlines and intigator Delta Air Lines and hiked its fees for checked bags. Book your ticket today to avoid the fee, which begins tomorrow.

It'll cost you $25 for the first bag and $35 for the second bag for reservations made Thursday or afterward for travel Jan. 21 or afterward. There's a discount for paying for the fees on line rather than paying for it at the airport.

Delta this week started it and Continental matched it -- $25 for the first bag, a $2 discount for buying it on line, and $35 for the second checked bag, $3 discount for buying it on line.

Before, the three carriers had charged $20 for the first bag, $30 for the second. That currently remains the charge at American Airlines, the pioneer for the first-bag fee in 2008.

We take note that Southwest Airlines, alone among major carriers in not charging the first two bags, is saying it has picked up at least $800 million in annual revenues from people avoiding the fees.

I need to buy a round-trip airline ticket to get a visa, but I'm ...

I am studying abroad in Beijing from February-June, and need to buy a round-trip airline ticket in order to apply for a visa (the Chinese gov’t needs to know you will be coming and leaving when you say you will) for that time, but the problem is I’m planning to go to Cambodia after my semester ends. Do I have to fly back to Beijing, and then fly from there back to the states?
