NWA Lets You Pre-Pay Luggage Fees

Northwest Airlines has currently announced that passengers will be able to pre-pay for their luggage when they check in for their U.S. domestic flights online. Passengers can choose how many bags they want to check in, and pre-pay for them, using their credit card, which will not be charged until their tickets are printed out at at the airport's self-service kiosks; at this point the passengers can make changes to the amount of luggage that they will be checking. NWA is hoping that this will speed up the check-in process and make traveling easier for their passengers. 

Starting this past May NWA started charging passengers $25 for checking in a second bag. Next month NWA will start to charge a $15 fee for checking in one piece of luggage; both of these fees will be able to be paid online twenty four hours prior to departure.
