New Delta fees
The airline industry has been through a lot lately. Recessions, gas prices, terrorism – and now it’s the slow season. So what is an airline to do? Well, Delta has decided baggage fees are the place to try to bring up profits. The fees are for the first bag, for the second.
Since there doesn’t seem to be a lot of literature on anything beyond two bags, so it seems they’ll only let you check two. Of course, if you can’t fit everything you need into two bags, you might want to re-examine your priorities. Maybe you should trade in some of your stuff for secured loans.
Internet advantage
You could check them online, and bring the documentation. If you check in your bags online the first is and the second is . If you check in online, and check two bags, you can save . Still, paying to check in your bags, on top of the price of your airline ticket, is a little ridiculous, right?
Typically, January has lower ticket prices because hardly anyone wants to travel then. That said, if you are checking any bags, those savings might be minimal, if anything.
Alternative plan
One reason a lot of people check bags is because of the restrictions that don’t allow you to carry liquid onto the plane. That said, try buying the travel sized versions of what you need when you get there rather than paying almost so some suits at Delta HQ can get ivory back scratchers.
Carry on is the best thing to do. It saves tons of time at the airport and gets you out of paying Delta baggage fees or anyone’s baggage fees. When you’re traveling, only bring what you absolutely need. Think of things that would be better bought later on than packed.
