ATLANTA — Delta Air Lines is joining two rivals in raising fees to check a bag on a flight within the United States.
Delta on Wednesday posted new fees of $30 for checking a first bag and $40 for a second bag -- increasing the previous fees by $5 each.
The changes match increases recently imposed by United Airlines and JetBlue Airways. By midday, American Airlines had not increased bag fees.
