Baggage fee changes for other airlines

We are heading out next weekend to Grand Cayman using Continental. Checked their website and they are charging $25 for the second bag up to 50#, price goes up if you go over that.

Even with minimal clothes needed on a tropical dive trip, a diver can still get two bags each VERY easily!!

Continental is charging the fee for Mexico and the Caribbean.

No, you won't have to pay the extra for the ABQ to Houston leg as you have an international destination.

No, you won't have to pay the extra for the ABQ to Houston leg as you have an international destination.

As long as the legs are booked on a single ticket. If you split tickets, then I doubt they would honor that arrangement.

That's right. Hey ABQdiver, you can use that $50 for a half a tank of gas for the trip to and from the airport!

Ha! That's about right!

@ bikefox; That's the way I read it too.....

I see that United has jumped on the pay for the 1st bag bandwagon.

United joins American in charging $15 for a first checked bag : Updates : The Rocky Mountain News

Here is a chart I just received from our Travel Office. It was prepared for Government and Military Travelers, so the City Pair Program and the Exceptions likely won't apply to most. I did not validate this list.

I can't upload attachments, so I converted it to jpg and put it in my photo album here
