Good to know

  • Delta Connection flights with 50 seats or fewer: only personal items are allowed on board. Larger items get a pink Gate Claim/Planeside tag and go in the hold. source

Need more allowance? Add the bag online, before the airport

Many airlines charge more at the airport or gate than when you add a bag online. Flair's own page, for example, lists a carry-on at $49–$109 when booking but $99–$154 at the airport gate (CAD, or USD for US-originating trips). Check your airline's current price on its official site:
