Delta raising fees for second bags
This story probably affects Georgia schools and teams more than anyone in the nation because Delta’s home is Hartsfield. The NDCA and NDT/CEDA list servs are busy this morning with discussion on actions to take. We want to know how your team will be affected by this increased fee.
In addition to higher fees for the second bag, the fees for the third and fourth bag will go up as well due to fuel prices:
Delta did not join other major airlines this summer in charging to check a first bag on flights within the United States. But Delta was among the airlines that began charging $25 in May for a second bag.
The airline said on Tuesday that it was increasing its second-bag fee to help offset increases in fuel prices, which have nearly doubled in the last 12 months. The increased second-bag fee, and the other fees, will apply to passengers who book tickets on or after Thursday for travel after Tuesday.
On domestic flights, the fee on Delta for checking a third, fourth or fifth bag, now $80 for each bag, will rise to $125 apiece.

I think the fares rises by Delta airlines is justified because we all know the fuel prices have hiked. There is no other option for the airlines except to hike the prices. So, we have to utilize our limited resources very efficiently.
