United considers baggage-check fees
From Times Wire Services
UAL Corp.’s United Airlines said it was considering charging passengers to check more than one bag or get their luggage off a plane first under a new revenue strategy, the Chicago Tribune reported.
The airline may also start selling valet service for suitcases, a spokeswoman said.
The ideas are part of a five-year plan Chicago-based UAL’s board approved last month. Chief Executive Glenn Tilton said Oct. 5 that the company also might sell non-airline units or merge with another carrier.
