New data from the Transportation Department on Monday shows that Delta Air Lines Inc. collected the most, hauling in $1.26 billion in fees so far this year. For flights within the United States, Delta charges $25 for the first bag and $32 for the second. For U.S. flights to Europe, Delta doesn’t charge for the first bag but charges $55 for the second bag.
United Continental Holdings Inc., which is bigger than Delta by traffic, collected more than the $922 million.
Travelers paid more than $784 million for baggage and ticket changes to AMR Corp.’s American Airlines.
Southwest Airlines Co. does not charge to check the first two bags. But it has still collected $22.5 million in baggage fees this year for additional luggage.
