United Airlines doubles its fees for a second checked bag
United Airlines has doubled its fees for a second checked bag to $50 in light of fuel prices.
United Airlines ratcheted up the pressure on fliers ahead of the holiday weekend, raising most domestic fares by as much as $60 roundtrip to offset the runaway cost of fuel.A representative for the second-largest US airline also said Friday the Chicago-based carrier is ``seriously considering'' following AMR Corp.'s American Airlines in charging passengers to check their first piece of luggage.
