Show Notes
United Airlines raises checked bag fees, with the first bag jumping from $35 to $45, second from $45 to $55, and third from $150 to $200. This is the first increase in two years, following JetBlues similar move. The hike comes amid skyrocketing jet fuel costs, now averaging $4.88 per gallon, up 95% since the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran. Uniteds CEO warned of potential $11 billion annual expense increase, but demand remains strong with record bookings. Other airlines have not yet announced matching hikes, but volatility in fuel prices may prompt a industry-wide move.
