CHECKED BAGS & FEES

You should never feel insecure about handing over your possessions to an airline. That's why we're making every effort to give you as much control over your bags as possible, short of strapping on a vest and helping the crew load the luggage yourself. From guidelines and fees by country to declaring baggage value and ultimate bag-tracking abilities with the Fly Delta app, here are all the information and tools you need to feel confident about checking in your luggage.

Checking In & Paying Online


Within 24 hours of your departure , you can tell us how many bags you will check and pay any fees quickly and easily online. That means one less thing you will have to do at the airport. When you arrive at the airport, you can drop off your checked baggage at the nearest baggage drop, marked with red "Baggage Drop" signage, or curbside check-in station (available within 6 hours of departure time). You may also check your bags at the airport kiosk, ticket counter, or curbside; however, please note that higher checked baggage fees may apply if paid at the airport. If your bag exceeds weight or size limits, please review the Additional, Overweight, and Oversized Baggage section. You may also carry on one bag and one small personal item at no charge. Visit our Carry-on Baggage section for more information. More restrictive baggage rules apply on some flights operated by our Codeshare partners. All baggage fees listed below are current and applicable for all ticketing on or after today when Delta's baggage rules are determined to apply. If you ticketed before today, please refer to Delta's previous checked baggage page for more details. You can also refer to your e-Receipt issued by Delta for detailed baggage fee information. NOTE: Please refer to our Codeshare Partners page for information on a specific carrier's baggage policy. Expand All

Guidelines & Fees by Country


Fees for the first and second checked bags vary based on your flight destination. We've outlined them all here. Do you have status with Delta or status with another affiliated airline (Medallion Members, Alaska Airlines or SkyTeam)? Perhaps a credit card with Delta SkyMiles Credit Card from American Express? Or are you part of the United States Military? See below for special exceptions that may apply when you check in with Delta.
