Letter to Delta..

Hey All.
If you haven't heard already, Delta has raised International board fees to $300 per board each way.

I'm shocked to discover that you have increased the baggage fee for surfboards to $300 each way per board. With respect, I'm writing to ask you to reconsider this decision. Surfers are generally frequent flyers, taking trips to destinations all over the world. We usually travel in groups, and we always choose Delta when our destination permits because, until recently, your airline was recognized in the surfing community for having a reasonable and affordable baggage fee for boards. Word is spreading fast that this is no longer the case, and frequent flyers like myself are turning to other airlines for future trips. Shipping boards by cargo is not an option--it is also too costly, in addition to time-consuming. I could understand a slight increase in fees, but $300 each way seems excessive. In some instances, that's more than the cost of the flight. Plus, surfboards are relatively light-weight (certainly less than golf bags, for instance, which are currently free to transport on your airline). I'd like to continue traveling with Delta Airlines, but I'm afraid that I will be forced to take my business elsewhere unless this fee is reconsidered. I will only support airlines that do not implement excessive baggage fees, even when I fly without my surfboard. Furthermore, I will be sure to spread the word not only to my fellow travel companions, but to surfers and travelers worldwide, urging them to do the same. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to your reply.
