American to charge for FIRST checked bag.

[BarTopDancer]

I can bring my own snacks, and buy my own drinks once I get through security. I don't use their blankets, pillows or read their magazines. I wonder if those air-store magazines actually bring in a profit, or break even.

I have to check my bag though because of the 3-3-3 rule. My make up and hair stuff is to big.

Airlines have to do what they have to do to stay afloat. I'm tempted to buy tickets for my December trip now, before the prices go up. But it's not a 110% sure thing and I'd be losing money if I had to cancel.
