US carriers Delta, United, Continental, US Airways and American have all now hiked their checked bag fees effective 1 February. They want an extra five bucks per bag - US$25 for the first checked bag and US$35 for a second checked bag.
Effective 05 May, Delta Air Lines will charge US$25.00 for the 2nd piece of checked baggage on U.S. Domestic flights. Delta SkyMiles Elite Frequent Flyers and First/Business Class passengers will be exempt from this fee and will continue to be allowed to check up to 3 bags at no additional charge. The US$25 bag fee for the second checked piece of luggage will not apply to international flights.
This merger further strengthens the coherence of our partnerships on the transatlantic market. Thanks to anti-trust immunity proposed last week by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), we are confident we can quickly build a global partnership between Delta, Northwest, KLM and Air France in the form of a joint venture offering a network with extremely attractive multiple hubs.
In response to the uncertainties in the global economic situation, and in a context of tougher competition, Air France is focusing more on the quality of its capacity increase than the quantity.
