I just booked my trip to Ohio in November with Delta airlines. I have flown there the last three years to bowhunt. I always check 2 pieces of luggage(suitcase &SKB rectangular bow case). I expected to pay the new $25 surcharge for the second piece of luggage, but the Delta agent saidany piece of checked baggage whose total dimensions(length+width+height) exceed 62 inches will be assessed $150 surcharge. Thats in addition to the $25 surcharge for the bow case being the second checked bag!

I have never been charged before for flying with the SKB rectangular bow case even though its total dimensions exceed 62 inches (46 L + 19 W + 7 H = 72inches)

Have any of you run into this problem yet this year with any airline ??

Thanks,
