Delta Baggage Fee Refund for Some Passengers

Jun 23rd, 2008 | By Jared Blank

Delta implemented a $25 second-checked-bag fee on April 9th for flights after May 5th (you had to pay the fee regardless of whether you had already purchased a ticket for those dates prior to the announcement). Well, it turns out they can’t do that.

If you purchased a ticket on Delta prior to April 9th, and you had to pay a baggage fee for your flight after May 5th, you are entitled to a refund (details here).

I applied to Delta for this refund because I purchased my ticket on Jan 16, flew on May 8, and did have to pay the $25 “extra” baggage fee. They sent me a letter refusing to give it to me.

Why isn’t there an infant fare for frequent flyer miles? - Chris Elliott points to a serious problem with frequent flyer tickets for parents of small children: Full-fare fees for lap infants. Typically, the charge for carrying an infant on your lap on an international flight is 10% of the fare paid. The child doesn’t get a seat. But what’s the fare, if you’re paying [...]
