Last week Northwest announced it would be adding a $15 fee for the first checked piece of luggage. I wasn’t too shocked when I read it as a few airlines have the same fee now.
But then this morning I read that Delta is increasing its fee for the second piece of checked luggage from $25 to $50. They still don’t charge for the first piece, but still.
Meanwhile, Southwest’s no fees ad campaign just got more ammunition.
On a side note, if/when fuel goes down, how many of you think that the fees will go away?
Yeah, I’m doubtful too.

Prepare for the most profitable period in airline history. That’s why now is the best time to start planning for a new airline. Anyone want to lend me $160 million?
