Checking a bag on American Airlines will now cost you more than at every other major US airline.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The carrier announced Tuesday that the\u00a0price<\/a>\u00a0of the first checked bag on most flights is increasing to $40 for customers that didn\u2019t prepay online. It will cost $35 if paid online during check in. That\u2019s as much as a 33% increase from what it previously cost on American Airlines: $30 for both methods.<\/p>\n

Flights within and between the United States, Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands are all affected by the price increase. American has also hiked the price of a second checked bag to $45 (up from $40.)<\/p>
