And Please Enjoy Your Flight

American Airlines, which last month joined other airlines in charging $25 for second checked bags, announced today that beginning June 15 it will hit passengers with $15 for the first checked bag as well. Other new fees include charges for reservation help, oversize bags, a seat, and use of the overhead light and airflow nozzle. In addition, flight attendants will pass a hat in case the passengers want an experienced pilot rather than a teenager who's really good at Flight Simulator.
