United Airlines whipped up a sizzling deal this week for people who refuse to travel light.

United offered Door to Door Baggage service by FedEx for a ridiculously low $25 a bag one-way for a limited time.

Cargo and airline experts said the special might be aimed at using excess space on FedEx flights to take the load off passenger flights, a loss leader to win business for United, or both.
