Surcharges vary, but the airlines typically impose fuel charges of about $242 on flights to London and $280 on routes to many popular destinations on the continent.<\/p>\n<p>Delta began charging $8 more for the first checked bag and $7 more for a second on Jan. 5. Continental did the same thing beginning with tickets sold Jan. 16. So far, no other big U.S. airline has followed suit.<\/p>\n<p>Continental and Delta now charge $25 for the first checked bag and $35 for the second if the bags are checked at the airport. The fee is slightly lower for bags checked in online.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a match&#8221; of Delta&#8217;s higher bag fees, Continental spokeswoman Mary Clark said. &#8220;But we don&#8217;t normally comment on our rationale&#8221; for matching competitors&#8217; pricing changes.<\/p>\n<p>A new USA Today\/Gallup Poll finds the fees are unpopular.<\/p>\n<p>Seventy-six percent of Americans who&#8217;ve flown at least twice in the last year say they&#8217;re dissatisfied with bag and rebooking fees.
