American Airlines is increasing the cost of checked baggage on transatlantic flights effective immediately. For flights booked after April 21st, 2020 the new fee is $75 one way (previously $60 one way), people that booked before April 21st, 2020 will pay the old $60 fee. This seems like an insane time to announce an increase in baggage fees, especially with American Airline receiving $5.8 billion in government assistance. I’d be interested to see if bags traveled per passenger has increased due to COVID-19.
