Well it was just a matter of time, but Alaska Airlines is changing their checked baggage policy to go along with others who already started. As of July 1 you will be charged $25.00 for the second checked bag. If you travel before July 1 or booked your ticket before May 1, the old policy is still in effect: no charge for the second bag.
Why is this important? Most people take home 2 boxes of filleted, frozen and vacuum packed fish. We have always suggested people check these as their baggage. We strongly recommend you try very hard to bring your clothes in a carry-on bag as the 3rd checked bag for an individual will be an addtional $100.00!!!
Hmmmmmm. Do you suppose this is their way of offsetting part of the rapidly increasing fuel costs without having to call it a fuel surcharge?
