Delta Baggage Fees And Allowances

Delta Air Lines has specific baggage fees and allowances depending on the traveler's ticket class, route, and frequent flyer status. For domestic flights, Delta typically allows passengers to bring one carry-on bag and one personal item free of charge. The standard checked baggage fee for economy class passengers is $30 for the first bag and $40 for the second bag, each weighing up to 50 pounds (23 kg). However, these fees can vary based on the traveler's SkyMiles Medallion status, with higher-tier members often receiving free checked baggage. International flights usually offer at least one free checked bag, with additional fees applying for extra or oversized luggage. Passengers flying in premium classes, such as Delta One, Delta Premium Select, or First Class, generally enjoy more generous baggage allowances, often with up to two checked bags included in the ticket price. Additionally, Delta occasionally offers promotions or credit card benefits that can reduce or waive baggage fees.
