Earlier this month I went to Grand Cayman. It was my first international dive trip in a couple of years and I was in complete shock over Delta's baggage fees.

I decided to research the baggage oversize and overweight fees for some of the major carriers. The results are below. Every effort will be made to keep this information up to date; however, I encourage you to use the links provided to confirm the posted rates and fees.

General information:

The fees, size, and weight restrictions listed below apply to checked baggage only.
Fees are one-way. To get the total fees for your trip, double the dollar amount listed.
As a general rule, bags under 62 linear inches are not considered over-sized.
As a general rule, bags weighing 50 lbs or less are not considered over-weight.
Bags over 100 lbs and/or larger than 115 linear inches are not allowed. Some airlines limit the weight to 80 pounds.
The fees below assumes you are NOT bringing a tank. Please visit the individual airline websites for the fees associated with bring a scuba tank on an airplane (they start at $100 each way).
Linear inches are calculated by adding the length + width + depth of an object.
