Checking a bag on American Airlines will now cost you more than at every other major US airline. That’s as much as a 33% increase from what it previously cost on American Airlines: $30 for both methods. American has also hiked the price of a second checked bag to $45 (up from $40.) American said in a press release that it hasn’t hiked bag prices since 2018. The price increase comes at a time when airlines are battling rising fuel and labor costs.
