American Airlines, the world’s largest airline has announced measures to offset the gas hikes -
- Slash Us capacity as much as 12% and retire 85 planes: This means, you will have lesser flights from one city to another and since there are lesser number of seats, the air fare would be much higher.
- Cut jobs: This is obvious, lesser number of planes, lesser people needed to operate the airline.
- $15 Charge for first checked bag: Now you pay for every checked bag
So, get ready for other airlines to follow suit and prepare to pay more for the your next ticket.
