Delta Air Lines has joined its peers in raising fees for checked bags.
The airline said the fee for the first and second checked bag went up by $5 on most domestic and short-haul international flights.
It now costs $35 for the first checked bag and $45 for the second.
It is Delta’s first checked bag fee hike in over five years.
The fee continues to be waived for Delta SkyMiles Medallion members and first-class fliers.
In just the past few weeks, American Airlines, United, JetBlue and Alaska Airlines have all hiked checked bag fees.

Ditto! I love SWA for their no baggage fee policy and no cancellation fee policy.

Because a collective 5.5 billion in baggage fees in the first 9 months of 2023 was not enough. What a shame that the general public has no leverage unless they unite to support Southwest Airlines -- they continue to be the most hassle free airline to book, and to fly. No gimmicks, no tricks -- GO SOUTHWEST!!!
