New Airline Baggage Disclosure Rules

Travel Weekly reports that U.S. regulators ruled that two new federal airline regulations related to the disclosure of baggage allowances and fees will take effect on July 24 without further delay. The rules require carriers to disclose (in e-ticket confirmations and online receipts) any fees and allowances for carry-on bags and first and second checked bags and to apply those allowances and fees to all parts of any multi-segment tickets to, from, or within the U.S.A. (including codeshares and multi-carrier itineraries).
