American said Tuesday that it eliminated the extra oversize charge for those items and instead will charge regular bag fees, which are lower. Before Tuesday, a passenger who checked a big item like a surfboard or snowboard on a domestic flight would pay $150. The airline says that will now cost $30, the fee for checking one bag. Travelers will still be charged $150 for some items including antlers and scuba tanks, and extra fees also apply to gear weighing more than 50 pounds.
