does delta allow free checked bags?

[fairis]

No — for most travelers on Delta Air Lines flying domestically in economy class, the first checked bag is not free — the standard fee is about US $35 each way for the first bag.
However, there are situations where a free checked bag is included:

• Passengers flying in premium cabins (e.g., first/biz) often have one or more free checked bags.
• Travelers with certain elite status in Delta’s frequent-flyer program may get free checked bags.
• If you book with an eligible co-branded credit card (e.g., one of Delta’s American Express cards) and meet the card’s terms, you might receive a waiver for the first checked bag.

Hey! I recently flew with Delta and wasn’t entirely sure about their checked bag policy. I had packed a little more than usual, so I decided to call and confirm. The agent was really helpful—they explained which tickets include free checked bags and even assisted me in adjusting my booking to avoid extra fees. If you want to instantly book, cancel, or modify flights, calling [877-297-0699] is the easiest way. Thanks to that call, my trip went smoothly, and I didn’t have to worry about unexpected charges!
