This final note today from Forbes magazine and our occassional guest Micheline Maynard.

You wanna be done with paying for and hassling over checked bag fees? United Airlines has just the thing for you.

You can now buy a subscription to check your bags. Just pay $349 a year, which will get you one standard-sized checked bag per flight domestically.

Saving you the math, that’s just about the same price as checking 13 bags a la carte, if you will.

There’s a lot happening in the world.  Through it all, Marketplace is here for you. 

You rely on Marketplace to break down the world’s events and tell you how it affects you in a fact-based, approachable way. We rely on your financial support to keep making that possible. 

Your donation today powers the independent journalism that you rely on. For just $5/month, you can help sustain Marketplace so we can keep reporting on the things that matter to you.
