US Airways says it's going to begin charging passengers an extra $5 per bag to check luggage at the airport rather than online. The Tempe-based carrier currently charges $15 for the first checked bag and $25 for the second. But an extra $5 per bag now will be charged to passengers who pay those fees at the airport rather than prepay their baggage fees by checking in online.
The change applies with tickets booked today for flights beginning July 9th. US Airways says the new fee would encourage passengers to use self-service options.
The airline doesn't charge to check baggage for travelers with "preferred" status on its frequent-flier program, those flying across the Atlantic, and military personnel on active duty.
