Delta Changes Course (Partially) on International Checked Bag Fee

May 27, 2009 | Posted in: Airline News,Delta

Back in April, I alerted you to a change in Delta’s International checked-bag fee policy; the airline said it would charge $50 for a second checked-bag – to all international destinations.

Well now Delta is saying, the charge still stands – but only for flights to-and-from the U.S. and Europe.

It seems Delta’s major competitors did not leap aboard this bandwagon with anywhere near the enthusiasm shown for domestic bag fees, and – since the carrier was all alone out there, it decided to limit it to European flights. It goes into effect July 1.

And remember, you are exempt from this fee if you are in first and business class, if you are an elite frequent flier or are active military.
