| Sep 4, 2015 at 19:18 | comment | added | Michael Mathews | Effectively, almost all US airlines now charge for checked luggage (even the first bag). Some airlines waive the charges for elite passengers, full fare passengers, and/or premium cabin passengers. Some airlines treat a frequent flier ticket purchased with the maximum number of miles the same as a purchased full fare ticket. | |
