AA new checked baggage policy

[milolii]

Hey check this out from American Airlines web site aa.com

 

Updated Checked Bag Policies

 

Customers who purchase domestic economy class tickets on or after May 12, 2008 but before June 15, 2008 may check one bag for free and check a second bag for $25 each way. Customers who purchase domestic economy class tickets on or after June 15, 2008 will be charged $15 each way for the first checked bag and $25 each way for the second checked bag. Our carry-on policy of one personal item (such as a purse or laptop bag) plus one bag remains in place. Other airlines to follow? Good chance

Notice that it becomes effective with the June 15 PURCHASE date - not travel date. Yes, I think other airlines will follow.
