Oh boy, the cost of taking that vacation is rising, in ways you might not be planning for! Remember to check excess fees when purchasing a ticket. It’s not a bad idea to remind yourself to check again before your flight too. Many times vacations are planned well in advance, and you might forget that you’ve got to pay these extra fees.
A vacation is still worth it though!

Delta Air Lines will raise its fees for checked bags on domestic flights by $8 for the first bag and by $7 for the second bag (that’s $23 now for the first bag and $32 for the second one). If you don’t pay these fees via Delta’s web site in advance, the airline will add an extra $2 for the first bag and an extra $3 for the second one when you pay curbside or at the airport ticket counter or check-in kiosk. The new fees start with tickets purchased on or after Jan. 5 for travel beginning today. Elite frequent flyers, first-class passengers, active military personnel being deployed, and other selected passengers will be exempt from the fees.
