DELTA AIRLINES Charging Soldiers returning home for Checked Gear?

Delta Airlines charged a group of soldiers (34) returning from Afghanistan a whopping $ 2,800.00 for their gear to return home with them on board their flight back to America.



Delta responded to the brouhaha on its blog, saying that, in addition to allowing active duty military personnel three free bags, it also allows each bag to weigh 20 pounds “over the standard allowance.” A later update to the post announced that, going forward, Delta will allow four free bags in economy and five in First Class and BusinessElite, all of which may be 20 pounds above the standard limit.
