When considering the baggage that you carry with you, do you honestly think that you are going to need everything that you carry with you? If that's not the case, then you would better think twice before commiting the same mistake again... Below is another msnbc.com article telling you why:
"
CHICAGO - United Airlines is adding an extra $5 charge for travelers who pay their baggage fee at the airport instead of online.
The move matches a change announced by US Airways last month.
Travelers have generally paid $15 to check their first bag on United and $25 for the second bag. But for tickets bought after Thursday for travel beginning June 10, they'll pay $5 more to settle those charges at the airport rather than on United's Web site.
United says the change will encourage customers to use online check-in. First- and business-class passengers, high-level frequent fliers, and active military personnel don't have to pay to check their first two bags.United, a unit of Chicago-based UAL Corp., collected $259 million in add-on fees like baggage charges during the first quarter.
