Passing one bag in the baggage, the passenger must now pay $ 30 instead of $ 25, as it was before, these fares are valid on flights in North and Central America, as well as in the Caribbean. Transportation in the luggage of the second bag will now cost $ 40 instead of $ 35, writes CNN.

Airlines are struggling with rising costs for fuel and labor, and this affects their tariffs for additional services.

In July, Delta and American Airlines cut their earnings forecasts for the year. The International Air Transport Association also reduced its forecast for total global airline profit in 2018 by 12%.

Another way to cover the additional costs for airlines was selling passengers the right to choose a place when booking, the prices for this service have increased in many companies.

According to statistics from the Bureau of Transport, Delta received 375 millions of dollars in baggage allowance for the first six months of 2018. This is 15% less compared to the same period last year. Overall, the US aviation industry received 2,4 a billion dollars in the first six months of this year, which is 7% more than in the same period in 2017.

A rise in baggage allowance at Delta was introduced three weeks after such steps were taken United and JetBlue — these companies raised the price of luggage by $5.

Delta clarified that passengers can check in their bags without additional charge if they have a certain status in the SkyMiles loyalty program, fly first class, or book a flight with an American Express SkyMiles credit card.
