By Cookie Magazine, on Thu Aug 7, 2008 8:04am PDTAlmost every domestic airline now charges for a second-checked bag, and most of the major airlines charge for the first.

Not to be! Question answered.
By teachergirl, on Thu Jun 5, 2008 11:05am PDTAh, sadness.

Shine Money Poll: Are you steering clear of airports?
By Dory Devlin, Shine staff, on Wed Apr 16, 2008 4:47am PDTIt's been a crazy few weeks for the airline industry, and for airline travelers. American Airlines is back on track after canceling 3,300 flights last week because of FAA safety inspections, delaying and stranding tens of thousands of travelers.
This week brings news that Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines will merge, and thousands of airline employees will lose their jobs as airlines grapple with rising fuel prices. Contintental and United are in preliminary talks to do the same if the Delta/Northwest merger goes through. Pilots are not happy about how they will fare with a merger, so expect a bumpy road ahead.

Airlines are charging between $25 and $100 for second bags that weigh 51-70 pounds.
