Skyhobo United Airlines ( UAL ) hiked its checked bag fee by $10, becoming the second U.S. carrier to raise the fee since the Iran war spiked jet fuel prices. United’s new fee will cost $45 to check a first bag on most domestic flights if the passenger pays ahead of time, according to the company’s website . If the passenger checks a bag in the airport lobby, fees start at $50, while it will cost $75 at the gate. The new prices are $10 more than for flights booked before Friday. "United is raising first and second checked bag fees by $10 for customers traveling in the US, Mexico, and Canada and Latin America beginning with tickets purchased Friday, April 3," the company said in a statement shared with CNBC. The airline also said on Friday it is rolling out a new tiered fare structure that will offer three options in premium cabins for long-haul international, transcontinental U.S., and select Hawaii flights. The new fare categories would include base, standard, and flexible options for United Polaris and Premium Plus. The global average jet fuel price last week more than doubled compared to the prior month's average, according to the International Air Transport Association. Jet fuel is the highest expense for airlines after labor costs. Earlier in the week, JetBlue Airways ( JBLU ) raised checked bag fees by at least $4 per bag — and up to $9 per bag, depending on when a customer books their travel. Most U.S. airlines, including United Airlines, JetBlue Airways, and American Airlines, hiked checked baggage fees for customers in 2024 following a rise in maintenance and labor contract costs for carriers.

jittawit.21/iStock via Getty Images U.S. nonfarm payrolls increased by 178K in March, against the consensus of +51K and compared to the 133K drop recorded in February (revised from -92K), according to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday. Health care added 76K jobs in March. Employment in ambulatory health care services rose by 54K, reflecting an increase of 35K in offices of physicians as workers returned from a strike. Employment also increased in hospitals (by 15K). Employment in construction grew by 26K; transportation and warehousing added 21K jobs; employment in social assistance grew jobs by 14K. Federal government employment continued to decline in March (-18K). Employment in financial activities edged down by 15K. "The job growth in leisure and hospitality suggests resilience ahead. Even though oil prices might hurt airline profitability—look at American Airlines ( AAL ) stock—the hotel industry is stable. That bodes well for Marriott ( MAR ) and Hilton ( HLT )," noted Chris Lau , investing group leader for DIY Value Investing. "Despite headline claims of AI causing job cuts in the technology sector, information lost just 3K jobs. However, the 15K decrease in financial activities is a growing concern. Shares of Goldman Sachs ( GS ), Wells Fargo ( WFC ), Citigroup ( C ), and JPMorgan Chase ( JPM ) are down for the year. Their weak performance is pricing in a global economic slowdown ahead. Worsening private credit conditions will correlate to sustained, higher interest rates. Shares of Blue Owl Capital ( OWL ), KKR ( KKR ), and Blackstone ( BX ) are pricing in those risks," added Lau. Unemployment rate fell to 4.3% , vs. 4.4% consensus and 4.4% prior. Labor force participation rate dropped modestly to 61.9% in March from 62.0% in February. Average hourly earnings rose 0.2% M/M, against the consensus of 0.3% and 0.4% in the previous month. The March earnings equate to a 3.5% Y/Y increase vs. the 3.8% consensus and 3.8% seen in the previou...
