(CNN) – Checking a bag on American Airlines is now more expensive than other major airlines in the United States.
The first checked bag on most flights will now cost $40 for customers who don’t pre-pay online and $35 for customers who do.
Previously, the price was $30 for both methods.
American has also hiked the price of a second checked bag from $40 to $45.
The changes are now in effect for future flights.
American’s biggest rivals, Delta and United, both charge $30 for the first bag and $40 for the second on similar routes.
