Yes, Delta’s basic economy fares do not include a free checked bag on most routes. You’ll usually have to pay standard baggage fees unless you’re flying on an international route that offers one checked bag by default. Regular Main Cabin (standard economy) also doesn’t automatically include a free checked bag for U.S. domestic flights, but certain international itineraries may include one. Always check your specific fare details before traveling or call 877-297-0699 for help confirming baggage allowances.
