[This post is written and copyrighted by FIRE Finance (http://firefinance.blogspot.com).]

US Airways (LCC) has unfurled a new baggage policy which is not friendly for people like us who travel with a couple of checked in baggages. Since we travel a lot during the summer to raise funds for charities this new policy would mean higher ticket costs for us :(. Here are some details of the new policy which would be effective from May 5th, 2008.

For each ticketed customer, US Airways will transport 1 checked bag free of charge, and 1 bag as a carry-on. Some destinations outside of the continental U.S. have additional limitations on checked baggage at specific times of the year.

Additional checked baggage
A second checked bag will be assessed a $25* fee. The new fee applies to travel on or after May 5 for tickets purchased on or after February 26, 2008.

Checked bags	Under 50 pounds/23 kg	51-70 pounds/23 32 kg	71-100 pounds/ 32-45 kg
First checked bag	Free	$50*	$100*
Second bag	$25*	$75*	$125*
Third-ninth bag(s)	$100*	$150*	$200*
