United adds $50 fee for checking second bag
United Airlines in May will become the first large carrier to charge travelers $50 to check a second piece of luggage on domestic round-trips. The airline said soaring fuel costs forced it to add the fee and noted that just 25% of its customers check a second bag. It expects the fee to generate about $100 million in additional revenue.

According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the U.S. is working to align its policies with those found in Canada and Europe, but some differences may currently exist. As more details are released, we will provide updates. Details can be found at TSA web site
