United lets you check bags all year @ $249 |
Is this offer such a big deal? Doesn’t it already cost $25 to check your bags on each flight, so you’d have to fly United ten times within the year to break even. Busy business flyers may find it a bargain, but not necessarily the typical vacation traveler who may fly United only two or three times a year. As with the questionable United deal, travelers are always being bombarded with all kinds of specials that may not be so special. If you’re comparing flight prices, before you make reservations, check with the airlines or your travel agent to get the actual total costs. Don’t sign up for the $99 advertised cross-country specials until you get all the facts about add-ons and extra service costs.
