Airlines are great. You pay for the ticket that lets you choose your seat so you and your small children can be together. Day of flight, they change planes and shuffle the seats and can’t change it back because the flight is full. Great customer service.

undefined | Southwest Airlines, once known for its free bags perk, hikes fees amid higher jet fuel costs by AP

Southwest Airlines announced that it will increase its checked‑baggage fees by $10, making a single checked bag cost $45 and a second bag $55, effective Thursday. The airline said the change is part of “an ongoing analysis of the business and against the evolving global backdrop.” A handful of travelers will still receive a free first checked bag, including certain Southwest loyalty‑tier members, holders of co‑branded credit cards, and active‑duty military personnel.

The move comes less than a year after Southwest ended its long‑standing “bags fly free” policy in May 2025, a shift that had set the carrier apart from rivals. Now Southwest joins other U.S. airlines—Delta, JetBlue and United—that have raised baggage fees since the Iran‑Iran‑Iraq conflict escalated in late February. Jet‑fuel prices have surged, with the U.S. Jet Fuel Index reporting an average of $4.81 per gallon in Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles and New York, up from $2.50 the day before the war began, as fighting near the Strait of Hormuz disrupted global oil supplies.

Oil prices remain well above pre‑war levels, hovering near $95 a barrel after a brief cease‑fire was announced, but the market stays volatile as Iran has again closed the Strait of Hormuz in response to regional attacks. While U.S. carriers have largely relied on raising baggage fees, many foreign airlines are adding fuel surcharges to offset the higher jet‑fuel costs, a practice less common among U.S. airlines.

undefined | Delta CEO says airline will 'meaningfully' cut growth plans, sees $300 million boost from its refinery

Delta Air Lines said it will “meaningfully reduce” its capacity‑growth plans in the near term as jet‑fuel prices surge, joining United and JetBlue in hiking checked‑bag fees. The announcement helped the stock jump more than 11 % in pre‑market trading after oil prices fell, and the carrier signaled that overall capacity is likely to stay flat for the year.

For the first quarter, Delta beat Wall Street expectations, reporting adjusted earnings of 64 cents per share versus the 57‑cent forecast and revenue of $14.2 billion versus the $14‑billion estimate. The airline warned that its fuel bill will be about $2 billion higher this quarter, but it forecast second‑quarter adjusted earnings of $1.00‑$1.50 per share (analysts saw $1.41) and revenue growth in the low‑teens percent. A key tailwind is its refinery near Philadelphia, which is expected to contribute a $300 million benefit and help Delta post roughly $1 billion in pre‑tax profit in Q2.

Premium‑ticket revenue rose 14 % year‑over‑year, driven by stronger demand for first‑class and other higher‑priced seats, while main‑cabin revenue increased for the first time since late 2024. Although a brief slowdown in business travel was noted during a TSA line disruption, overall demand remains robust. Delta expects all‑in fuel costs of about $4.30 per gallon in the second quarter and is holding off on revising its full‑year outlook until fuel‑price volatility eases.
