Delta Air Lines beginning July 1 will charge economy passengers $100 to check a second bag on flights between the Americas and Japan

with the exception of Hawaiian flights, for which Delta will levy a $40 second-checked fee. The airline on those routes currently allows passengers to check two bags for no additional charge. Delta also raised to $100 from $75 the second-bag fee for economy passengers flying between the Americas and China, Guam, Hong Kong, Palau, Saipan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand, but removed the second bag fee on routes between the Americas and Australia and New Zealand. The policy changes effect tickets purchased on or after June 1. Delta indicated that flights to and from Brazil are exempted from the new bag fees.
