Show Notes

United Airlines announces a significant bag fee hike, effective April 3rd, for flights in the U.S., Mexico, Canada, and Latin America. The first bag increases by $10, the second by $15, and the third by $50. This is their first increase in two years, following JetBlues recent move. The airline cites rising fuel costs, potentially linked to the U.S.-Israel clash with Iran, which sent jet fuel to nearly double pre-war levels. United Chase card holders, MileagePlus elites, active military, and premium cabin passengers are exempt from these fees. Travelers are advised to plan their bags wisely to manage costs.
