Delta Charging $25 for Luggage
Atlanta-based Delta Airlines will begin charging $25 for bags beginning on May 1.The first checked in bag is free, but passengers must pay $25 for any additional bags. Delta is the latest airline to announce extra baggage fees. United and U.S. Airways had previously announced additional fees for extra baggage. Delta’s fee does not apply to people who are flying first class, business class or to top-level frequent fliers. The price increase is said to be due to the rising cost of travel in the United States. Of course Delta is going to make money. Either people will pay the extra $25 for additional bags or they will pack lighter to avoid the fees. What are you going to do? I vote for pack lighter, and put as much as I can in my carry-on bag.
