Delta Air Lines Inc. is raising its fees to check your first bag on a domestic flight by $8 and the second bag by $7.
That will mean $23 for the first bag and $32 for the second.
It will continue to cost you even more if you don’t pay the fees in advance on the airline’s web site. Delta is calling that add-on a surcharge — $2 for the first bag and $3 for the second. You will have to pay the surcharges if you check your bags at an airport ticket counter, kiosk or curbside.
The new fees are for travel beginning Tuesday on tickets purchased on or after Jan. 5. Tickets purchased before then, regardless of when the travel begins, are subject to the current fees — $15 for the first bag and $25 for the second.
The domestic bag fee increases apply to travel in coach within the 50 states, U.S. Virgin Islands, Canada and Puerto Rico.
