The blogsphere lit up today with the news that American Airlines is going to start chargine $15 for the first checked bag - sort of like Ryan Air in the UK. Christopher Elliott, one of our favorite bloggers, is covering the story over on his blog for those who are interested in getting more details.

If American's decision makes your head hurt, head over to the TravelGator flight search tool and see if you can't find a good fare for your next trip on an airline that lets you pack more than a toothbrush without paying.
