Episode Details

Delta Air Lines increases checked baggage fees due to soaring jet fuel prices caused by the Middle East conflict, affecting most passengers on domestic and short international flights. The first bag now costs $45, up $10, and the second bag is $55, also up $10. A third bag jumps to $200, a $50 increase. The hike is Deltas first domestic increase in two years and follows similar moves by United and JetBlue. While premium seat passengers, active military, certain credit card holders, and top loyalty members still get free bags, most travelers will feel the pinch. Analysts predict more U.S. carriers will follow suit, adding to the volatility in the airline industry.
