EXCESS BAGGAGE

WHEN TRAVELING LIGHT ISN'T AN OPTION

Traveling light is always ideal, but it's not always realistic. The best advice we can give as far as minimizing fees is to pack as efficiently as possible and learn where it will cost you. If you plan on exceeding the standard baggage allowance, here is everything you need to know about quantities, extra fees and restrictions.

Before we get to all the nitty-gritties, please note the following general guidelines:

  • Up to 10 bags may be checked per passenger on flights operated by Delta or Delta Shuttle®.
  • Up to 4 bags may be checked bags on Delta Connection® carrier flights.
  • We may limit the amount of excess baggage when such excess prevents us from transporting up to two bags per passenger.
  • For more information on checked baggage limitations (baggage embargoes) please visit our Baggage Limitations page.
  • Delta Connection carriers accept excess baggage on a space-available basis. If the baggage cannot be carried on the same flight with you, it will be transported on the next available flight.
  • Camera, film, videotape, lighting, and sound equipment will be accepted when tendered by representatives of network or local television broadcasting companies or commercial filmmaking companies. See Media Bags for complete details.

Any bags exceeding the ticketed itinerary allocation: number of pieces, weight or size are accepted on a standby basis.

Bags that do not meet our size and weight restrictions will require special handling and additional fees.

It's important to know that there are separate fees for each limitation you exceed: size, weight and quantity. For example, if an extra piece of baggage exceeds the weight and size limits, it will be subject to three fees: one for the extra bag, one for exceeding the weight limit and one for going over the size restriction. Fees are charged for each additional bag, each way.

Some destinations may have additional restrictions as well. Please review the breakdown below.

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.
