A North Carolina woman said she received an African American service charge after reviewing her bank statement following an American Airlines flight.
Kyetra Bryant said she and her partner booked the flight out of Charlotte Douglas Airport on Thanksgiving Day last year but didn t notice the charge from a self-service baggage kiosk until she looked at her bank statement. Over Thanksgiving Wes and I traveled to Denver from the Charlotte International Airport via American Airlines, Bryant wrote in a since-deleted Facebook post on January 28. We both used different cards to pay for our luggage and instead of it being noted as such, both of our bank statements read AFRICAN AMERICAN SERVICE CHARGE.
