A Boeing 767 passenger aircraft of Delta airlines arrives from Dublin at JFK International Airport in New York as the Manhattan skyline looms in the background on February 7, 2024.
Delta Airlines just became the latest airline to raise its checked bag fee — this time by $5 beginning Tuesday, according to the company.
In a statement, the airline said the fee for both the first and second checked bag is increasing by $5 for most domestic and short-haul international routes.
It will now cost travelers $35 for the first checked bag and $45 for the second checked bag.
It's the first Delta baggage price increase since 2018, which the company said will help it stay on pace with rising industry costs.
