Hawaii interisland airline Go will begin charging passengers $10 for the first checked bag for travel beginning Aug. 10.
With the introduction of the fee, Go reduced its second-checked-bag fee from $25 to $17, matching Hawaiian Airlines on interisland routes. Announced last month, Go's second-checked-bag fee applies to passengers who purchased tickets on or after June 25 for travel on or after July 15.
Go customers exempt from paying the fee are passengers who purchased their tickets for travel prior to July 10, corporate members, customers traveling on government fares and customers flying on the same reservation as someone with exempt status (except for group bookings of eight or more).
Items exempt from the bag fee are child car seats, carriers and strollers; and wheelchairs, walkers and other assistive devices.
