ETA #2 - If you read further down the page it says the first bag policy does not apply to international travel, however when traveling from EWR to Dublin in May of this year we were charged the first bag fee. 2nd bag fee does apply to the Carribean

Is it possible that they had been charging for the first International checked bag and later changed their policy back?

I could have sworn that Delta was going to begin charging for luggage on international flights, but when I checked, it says there are still two bags "free" per person.
