受伊朗局势影响航油价格上涨,达美航空将上调行李托运费,成为美国最新一家提高“免手提行李”托运收费的航空公司。
达美航空在公告中称此举是为了应对“不断变化的全球局势和行业动态”,新规将于周三起生效。该公司表示,国内及短途国际航班中,旅客首件和第二件托运行李的费用将各上涨10美元,第三件托运行李的费用则将上调50美元。
达美航空在发给CBS新闻的声明中表示,新的收费标准是“其全业务定价持续评估”的一部分。该公司指出,此次涨价是两年来达美首次上调国内行李托运费用。
以下是新的收费标准:
- 首件托运行李:45美元
- 第二件托运行李:55美元
- 第三件托运行李:200美元
达美航空表示,达美里程银卡及以上会员、头等舱乘客和其他符合条件的旅客仍可免费托运行李。长途国际航班的行李托运费用保持不变。
自2月28日美以袭击伊朗以来,达美航空是继美联航和捷蓝航空之后,又一家上调行李托运费的美国航空公司。根据国际航空运输协会的数据,截至4月3日当周,航油价格为每桶209美元,较去年均价上涨了132%。
航空公司试图通过提高机票价格,部分航司还在票价中加入燃油附加费,来抵消燃油成本上涨带来的压力。航班行业专家建议旅客现在就为即将到来的行程购买可退票,以防票价进一步上涨。

Delta hikes bag check fee by up to $50 as jet fuel prices soar

Delta Air Lines is hiking its bag-check fees, the latest U.S. carrier to increase the charge to fly hands-free as jet fuel costs rise due to the Iran war.
Delta cited “evolving global conditions and industry dynamics” in announcing the change, which takes effect Wednesday. Fees for travelers’ first and second checked bags will rise by $10, while it will cost $50 to check a third piece of luggage on domestic and short-haul international flights, the airline said.
The new fee structure is part of “Delta’s ongoing review of pricing across its business,” the carrier said in a statement to CBS News. The increase represents the first time in two years that Delta has hiked fees for checking bags domestically, the airline noted.
Here are the new rates:
- First bag: $45
- Second bag: $55
- Third bag: $200
Delta SkyMiles Medallion club members, first-class passengers and other eligible customers will still be able to check bags for free, the airline said. Checked-bag rates on long-haul international flights also remain unchanged.
Delta follows United and JetBlue in raising bag check fees since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on February 28. The price of jet fuel was $209 a barrel for the week ending April 3, up 132% from last year’s average, according to the International Air Transport Association.
Airlines have tried to offset higher fuel costs by raising airfares and, in some cases, adding fuel surcharges to ticket costs. Flight experts encourage travelers to purchase refundable fares for upcoming travel now, in case prices rise further.
