"Fliers can prepay luggage charges at Northwest site
Northwest Airlines Corp. has upgraded its website, nwa.com, so customers can prepay the $15 for their first piece of checked luggage and $25 for their second piece of checked luggage while checking in online. Northwest will start collecting the first-bag fee on Aug. 28. Northwest will not process the prepaid fees until the luggage tags are printed at the airport, so passengers can use airport self-service check-in kiosks to change the number of bags they indicated online that they'd check in (Boston Globe)."
