Continental does charge for checked luggage now. They started last year - only $15 for the first bag, but still a fee
ETA - just checked their website and it looks like that fee will increase to $20 for the first bag on tickets purchased after 7/21/09 for travel after 8/19/09 - unless you are one pass elite member or military or other exemptions apply 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 Last edited by Jacki; 08-03-2009 at 04:18 PM. |

![]() 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.

Damn, sucks they they charge. So another $60 bucks for luggage???
Does the policy apply to international travel? The second bag policy applies to flights within the 50 U.S., Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Canada and for flights between the 50 U.S., Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Canada and Mexico, Caribbean, Central and South America (excluding Brazil). An itinerary such as Austin to Houston and connecting to London, or Beijing to New York/Newark and connecting to Mexico City will not be subject to the new fee. They are considering the Carribean NOT INTERNATIONAL |

The way I read it, each person on Continental still gets one bag free when traveling in the Caribbean.

Hmmmmmm I see, but why would a second bag apply, so you get one bag free, but the second will cost you $30. I might just stick with Jet Blue. I just called my car service and it is only $10 more for me to goto JFK vs Newark. So for $10 bucks I dont have to worry about any fees, better seats, free DirecTV/movies, and free snacks. |

I was told 1 check in bag per person, no charge, if another bag, than you have to pay for it, of course a carry on bag is n/c also. I think between that, i've got it covered, besides you don't really need to haul alot with you, bathing suit, cover up, shorts , tee shirts, sandals, some undergarments and your done
