American Airline Stops Third Free Bag On Domestic Flights
by Anna Gleksman /Starting today, American Airlines business-class passengers will no longer be able to check a third bag for free on domestic flights—unless they are AAdvantage Executive Platinum members.
Travelers still will be able to check two bags at no charge, but a third will cost $150 on domestic flights and $200 on international ones.
First-class travelers will be subject to the same fees when flying on a two-cabin aircraft, which includes most domestic flights (with some exceptions on flights from New York to Los Angeles and San Francisco).
The fees do not apply to first-class international passengers, who still are entitled to check a third bag can be checked at no charge.
