American Airlines and JetBlue Airways, United Airlines announced on Friday a surge in checked baggage fees for customers traveling within North America. Effective February 24, passengers flying economy in the U.S. with United will incur a charge of $40 for the first checked bag or $35 if paid in advance. The second checked bag will now cost $50 at the airport and $45 in advance. This move by major U.S. airlines comes against a backdrop of increasing maintenance and labor contract costs for carriers coupled with a weakening pricing power in the domestic market. Notably, this marks the third hike in checked baggage fees by United in the past four years. Previously, United raised prices for checked bags at airports by $5 to $35, with a reduced rate of $30 for online advance payments. The fee adjustments align with broader industry trends, as U.S. airlines collectively collected nearly $6.8 billion in baggage fees in 2022 and an additional $5.5 billion in the first nine months of 2023. These increases are reflective of the financial challenges faced by the industry, with rising costs attributed to factors such as increased wages, higher fuel costs, and other inflationary pressures.
