If you're booking a Basic Economy fare on American Airlines, get ready to shell out a little more cash.
As The Points Guy first pointed out, the airline quietly dropped its free checked bag for Basic Economy passengers on long-haul flights. Beginning June 7, passengers headed to Asia, India, Australia, New Zealand, and Israel will have to pay $75 for their first standard-sized checked bag. Prices for a second bag ($100) and third bag ($200) remain the same.
Passengers who booked their travel before June 7 will be grandfathered in at the old rate (free), so no need to fear for your upcoming flight. But going forward there's no more free checked bags under the Basic Economy fare.

what about for domestic flights? If you are OWE can you check in a bag for free on a domestic flight?
