Hi,

If you haven't booked your flight, now is the time to do it. This increase does not apply to anyone who books a ticket before June 15th! I am guessing that other airlines will post something similar soon.

Here's what was posted on AA's website:

Customers who purchase domestic economy class tickets on or after May 12, 2008 but before June 15, 2008 may check one bag for free and check a second bag for $25 each way. Customers who purchase domestic economy class tickets on or after June 15, 2008 will be charged $15 each way for the first checked bag and $25 each way for the second checked bag. Our carry-on policy of one personal item (such as a purse or laptop bag) plus one bag remains in place.
