Delta has joined other U.S. airlines in increasing its fee for the first checked bag to $35 and the second checked bag to $45 for domestic flights and most short-haul international flights. 

The increase from the previous prices of $30 and $40 became effective for bookings beginning March 5. 

The increase does not apply to flights from the U.S. to Canada, Mexico, Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Paraguay and Uruguay. 

With the move, Delta matched the $5 increases made by American and United, which upped their bag fees late last month. 

JetBlue and Alaska have also implemented bag fee increases this year.
