ATLANTA — If you’re booking a flight through Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines, you’ll have to shell out a little more cash to bring your bags with you.
Delta announced that beginning Tuesday, the fee for first and second checked bags will increase by $5.
The first checked bag will increase from $30 to $35 and the second bag will increase from $40 to $45, according to a Delta spokesperson.
