American Airlines review by Colin 2016-01-28

One checked bag = $25.00 (up to 50 lbs.) Additional bag = $35.00 (up to 50 lbs). So, essentially two bags equaling up to 100 lbs. would cost $60.00. Okay, so I checked in one bag totaling 75 lbs and it cost me $25.00 (for the initial bag charge) plus an ADDITIONAL $125.00 for the extra weight in one bag so I paid an extra $90.00 for not splitting up my bags. What a joke! $150.00 to check in one bag....when I could have checked in two bags with 25 extra pounds and paid $60.00. No wonder American Airlines gets such poor reviews. I've never flown with them before and now I'm thankful I haven't. Oh well, Lots of other airlines to choose from. Lesson learned. Unfortunately that lesson cost $90.00, but I guess future business that American Airlines won't get in the future will probably cost them a lot more. EDITORS COMMENT: Majority of airlines operate like this and i hope many people read this review and learn before they too get charged these expensive and hard to understand charges.
