Delta Air Lines has announced it will begin charging $15 to passengers for their first checked bag and $25 for a second checked bag on domestic flights.
This new fee is in effect for new bookings for travel Dec. 5 or later. People with advance bookings made prior to Wednesday will not have to pay the first-bag fee, regardless of dates of travel. Previously, Delta had no fee for a first checked bag, but did charge $50 for a second checked bag. When Delta added a fee for checking a second bag, it cited rising fuel costs. However, following the recent drop in oil prices, Delta this time cited a competitive motivation.
