Northwest to charge for 2nd checked bag
Fri Mar 28, 2:04 PM ET
The charge goes into effect May 5 and applies each-way on a two-way trip.
Northwest Airlines Corp. is joining several other carriers with the baggage charge, including US Airways and United Airlines.
Northwest's high-end frequent fliers and full-fare passengers can still check two bags without paying extra. First-class passengers get three bags for free.
Northwest is also going to start charging $50 for bags over 50 pounds. The old fee was $25.
