United Airlines is introducing a new tiered fare program in its premium cabins. Meanwhile, the company has increased checked bag fees by $10–$50 in the Western Hemisphere.
In its April 3 announcement, the company disclosed it will offer three options in premium cabins for long-haul international, transcontinental U.S., and select Hawaii flights.
