American Airlines Uptades Their Checked Bag Policies

Customers of American Airlines 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.

I think many people will be taking carry-on bags, which means this will cause the over head compartments  to fill up pretty fast.
