Airlines are facing rising jet fuel costs, prompting them to increase checked-bag fees. Delta Air Lines announced a $10 increase for first and second checked bags, effective Wednesday. United Airlines has also raised fees by $10. The surge in jet fuel prices is attributed to supply chain disruptions caused by the US and Israel's war on Iran. Airlines are also raising ticket prices and implementing fuel surcharges, with some considering flight cancellations due to fuel shortages.
