UNITED AIRLINES will start charging $2 a bag to travellers who turn their luggage over to a skycap at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport from today. Previously the help was part of United”s marketing effort. The change is expected to save the bankrupt airline millions. A contractor currently operates the porter service and invoices the airline for the work. From now on travellers will pay the contractor, who in turn will lease baggage carts and other equipment from the airline.
