The quick answer is that Delta bag fees range from $35 to $100, depending on your fare type, origin and destination. There is no baggage fee for some routes and ticket types.

Delta applies a $30 fee for the initial checked bag and a $40 fee for the second checked bag per direction on domestic tickets. So, if you check 2 bags on a round-trip ticket, you'll pay $140 in checked bag fees ($30 + $40 each way). The fee for additional bags beyond the second bag increases substantially to $200 per piece.

On all domestic flights and to Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Canada, or Central America, baggage fees start at $35 for your first checked bag under 50 pounds each way when you fly in economy or Delta Comfort+ (premium economy). A second checked bag costs $45 each way (with the same weight requirements).

In early March 2024, Delta Air Lines updated its baggage pricing and raised fees by $5. Your first standard checked bag will cost $35, and a second bag will cost $45. The great news about Delta’s baggage fees is that the pricing model is very straightforward, though prices vary based on which part of the world you’re heading to.
