Check Baggage Charges and Policies that are not reflected in our airfares:
Checked Baggage For Delta Air Lines*
Delta will begin assessing passengers a $50 fee each way for checking in a second piece of luggage on domestic flights and between the Continental U.S and Hawaii.
Checked Baggage requirements:
You can check one bag per passenger free of charge when traveling in the U. S.
Each bag must:
Weigh 50 pounds (22.5 kg) or less.
Not exceed 62 inches when you total length plus width plus height.
Customers exempt from paying the second bag fee are:
Business Elite® and First Class passengers are allowed 3 checked bags at no charge up to 70 lbs.
Active duty military personnel with traveling orders will be allowed to check 2 bags up to 70lbs at no additional charge. With the exception of original factory-sealed boxes that will be accepted on a standby basis. Some packages, sporting goods, musical instruments, and fragile or bulky items may require special handling.
Fees
You’ll be charged an excess baggage fee each time you go over any one of the free allowances.
For example, if you have an extra piece of baggage that goes over the weight limit and the size limit, then you’ll be charged 3 times: once for the extra bag, once for going over the size limit, and once for going over the weight limit.
Fees are for each additional bag, each way.
