Show Notes
United Airlines raises checked bag fees by $10, following JetBlues lead amid soaring fuel prices. The new rates, effective from April 3, will cost $45 for the first bag on most domestic trips if prepaid online, or $50 if booked within 24 hours of takeoff. Fuel prices have surged by 82% since late February due to geopolitical events, with JetBlue and potentially other airlines set to follow suit. Elite flyers, United Chase card holders, active military, and premium cabin passengers can still enjoy free bags, but the broader impact is felt as Amazon imposes a 3.5% fuel surcharge on seller fees.
