Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines is joining two rivals in raising fees to check a bag on a flight within the United States.

Delta on Wednesday posted new fees of $30 for checking a first bag and $40 for a second bag — increasing the previous fees by $5 each.

The changes match increases recently imposed by United Airlines and JetBlue Airways. By midday, American Airlines had not increased bag fees.
