US Airways Group Inc. said yesterday that it is raising its fees for first and second checked bags by $5 each, and tacking on an additional fee for a second checked bag on trans-Atlantic flights.
The airline will charge $20 for the first checked bag and $30 for the second when bags are checked online. Passengers will also pay an extra $5 for each bag checked in at the airport. The current fees at the airport are $20 for the first bag and $30 for the second.
US Airways is also matching a $50 second checked-bag fee on its trans-Atlantic flights, a charge recently introduced by American Airlines and Delta Air Lines. The new trans-Atlantic second-bag fee will apply to all European destinations.
The fee changes affect travel taking place on or after Oct. 7.
The carrier's top-tier frequent fliers will be exempt from the fees. So will Star Alliance Silver and Gold status members, first-class passengers and active-duty military personnel.
