    Just found this note on my Expedia account and thought it might be useful.
    US Airways

    Beginning May 5, 2008, US Airways will begin assessing a $25 fee for a passenger’s second checked bag each way. Travelers who purchased tickets on or before February 26, 2008 are exempt from this policy change.

    Customers may check one bag for free and a second bag for a $25 service fee each way. Oversized bags or those weighing more than 50 lbs. now start at $50 per bag each way and increase depending on weight and the number of bags. This policy applies to all flights within the U.S., to and from Canada, Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe.

    The checked bag fee does not apply to:

    * All Dividend Miles Preferred members (Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Chairman’s Preferred)
    * Confirmed First Class and Envoy passengers at time of check-in
    * Star Alliance Silver and Gold status members
    * Active military personnel in uniform with ID
    * Unaccompanied minors
    * Passengers checking personal assistive devices
    United Airlines

    United’s new checked bag policy applies to tickets purchased on or after February 4, 2008, for travel beginning on May 5, 2008.

    Customers who purchase nonrefundable domestic economy tickets may check one bag for free and a second bag for a $25 service fee each way. Oversized bags or those weighing more than 50 lbs. now cost $100 per bag each way. Items that require special handling also have new prices.

    For customers who have at least Premier status in Mileage Plus or Silver status with Star Alliance, there are no changes to the number of bags they can check for free.

    This new checked bag policy also applies to travel beginning within the U.S. and to/from Canada, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and St. Thomas.

    For international flights (except Canada), checking a second bag will continue to be free and the cost to check more bags or bags that are overweight or need special handling varies by destination.
