AA Update

Hi Ladies, I just got this email from work.
Wanted to share it with you guys.



Today, American introduced a $15 fee for the first checked bag, given the increasing costs of transporting checked baggage. This fee, which is effective for tickets purchased on or after June 15, does not apply to: American's AAdvantage Gold, AAdvantage Platinum and AAdvantage Executive Platinum level members; those who have purchased full-fare tickets in the Economy, Business and First Class cabins; and those with international itineraries (except to and from Canada and U.S. territories, such as Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands).



American is also increasing its fees for certain other services, ranging from reservation service fees to pet and oversized bag fees. The increases mostly range from $5 to $50 per service. See chart below, all fee changes are subject to verification:
