News and Special Notes
  • Airlines Checked Baggage Policy. United Airlines changes checked baggage policy. Delta follows their lead. Only one checked bag will be allowed. Each additional checked bag will cost $25 each way.
    • Read letter from CMSC President, Mike Neibecker.
    • Read article from National Ski Council Federation, includes a link to a letter from
      Colorado Congressman, Mark Udall to the Air Transport Association.
    • The NCSF web page also has a form letter and addresses for other airlines.

    The hope is that a letter writing campaign will discourage other airlines from changing their baggage policy.  Join the fight.
