Your next flight might cost more than you expect, even if ticket prices look the same. Major airlines are quietly hiking checked bag fees, and it's all thanks to something you probably don't think about much.
Delta and Southwest just raised their checked bag fees by $10, making your next trip potentially pricier.
This marks the first time since 2018 that Delta has increased these fees, while Southwest, known for its two free checked bags, is also adjusting its pricing for extra luggage.
