According the Department of Transportation

, Delta Air Lines collected more than $865 million in baggage fees in 2012, more than any other domestic airline.

Didn't see anything about what exactly he was trying to check that would have racked-up $1400 in fees...

 

[AmdEmAll]

Why were they so heavy? And know the fee's before you fly? If he flew on Spirit it would have likely been much worse.

 

[dainthomas]

I thought Spirit was bad. Lol.

Screw all airlines.

And screw idiot passengers.


In fact, screw everyone and everything that has anything to do with commercial air travel.

Not defending Delta (they are bad), but even in the very limited number of instances that I've flown in the past three years I am always seeing folks bringing all kinds of stuff, including a kitchen sink.

Why people can't send that kind of stuff UPS or FedEx is bewildering. This case sounds like a flyer that didn't do their homework.
