Last week’s announcement by United Airlines that it will begin charging an additional $25 to check a second bag on its flights is bad news for tourists and conventioneers who visit Las Vegas.
Not only will United’s new policy affect a customer base that local tourism officials are trying to expand, but it appears that the nickel-and-diming United is imposing on its customers may spread faster than you can say airborne virus.

I’m really not surprised to see US Air follow lead.
On the one hand, I’m pleased because this is great news for our business, which allows people to reduce or eliminate the need for luggage.
But this move also tends to hurt the leisure who just doesn’t need the additional burden. It’s really more than a tax–and a regressive one at that.

I think this is an excuse for United to hike it’s fares and not pay the taxes and fees. Clever for them, not so great for us. Who doesn’t take a second bag when they go skiing or golfing?
