I was a little puzzled by this story I saw online at the Wall St. Journal website last night. It was titled, “Northwest is Latest Airline to Add Baggage Charge”. Indeed they are, as we (and just about everyone else) told you back on July 9th. An editing mix-up perhaps? |

Lucky for me, NWA doesn’t charge to check luggage for International flights. And Delta has yet to follow the pack on charging for any checked bags.
I also noticed Delta now offers a rebate on the second checked bag for travellers who purchased tickets prior to April 9, 2008 for travel after May 5, 2008.
