The new policy does not apply to silver, gold and platinum Northwest Airlines or SkyTeam elite customers. Full fare customers, booked in Y or B class, and customers traveling on military or government fares can still check up to two bags free of charge. Customers booked in First class can continue to check up to three bags free of charge.
Northwest is also making the following luggage policy modifications effective Saturday, March 29:
- The price of a 3rd piece of domestic checked luggage increases from $80 to $100.
- The fee for an overweight checked bag (50 to 70 lbs) increases from $25 to $50.
The following table reflects current Northwest luggage policy and the
changes that will take effect on May 5, 2008:

Free - 1st bag less than 50 lbs
$25.00 - 2nd bag fee
$50.00 - overweight fee for the bag weighing more than 50 lbs
$75.00 – total
