[Travelandtourism] FYI Delta and United Continental raise bag fees

[Peter Donahue]

Good evening everyone,

    Ridiculous!!I long for the days when flying was more fun, less 
expensive, and hassle-free than it is now. It's time for a new air travel 
doctrine.

Delta and United Continental have upped their baggage fees for checking a 
second bag on transatlantic flights.

The first checked bag on both airlines remains free of charge, but checking 
a second bag on United Continental now costs $70. Delta now charges $60 for 
a second bag if checked online and $75 if checked at the airport.

The fee previously had been $50 for both carriers for a second checked bag 
to Europe.

Delta no longer will carry second checked bags free of charge on flights to 
Mexico and Central America. The fee is now $30.

Delta also has done away with its discount of $2 or $3 for domestic 
customers who checked bags online.

The fees remain at $25 for the first bag and $35 for the second, whether 
checked in online or at the airport
