US Airways Matches Competitors’ Bag Fees
TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--US Airways (NYSE:LCC) today announced it will match the $20 first checked bag and $30 second checked bag fees put into place by American Airlines earlier this summer. In addition, US Airways announced it will also match a $50 second checked bag fee on its trans-Atlantic flights, a change recently introduced by some competitors.
