Alaska Airlines adjusts fees, rules for ticket payment
The new baggage fees apply to travel starting June 16 for tickets bought beginning May 1.
Each of the first three checked bags will cost $20 under the new fee schedule, Alaska Air said. That will be a $5 increase for the first bag, a $5 decrease for the second and a $30 decrease for the third, the Seattle-based airline said.
The change simplifies and streamlines the fees, the airline said.
The fee also is falling for extra bags beyond the third. The fourth through 10th bags will cost $50 each, down from the current fee of $100, Alaska Air said.
The bag fee changes also apply to Horizon Air, Alaska Air's sister airline that handles shorter-hop flights in the Lower 48.
Passengers traveling solely within Alaska and military personnel on active duty pay no fees on the first three bags, the airline said.
The bag fees also don't apply to the first two bags of first-class and MVP passengers, and passengers to or from Mexico City and Guadalajara.
