For those using Delta, effective May 5, 2008 you are only allowed one checked bag per person.
See Below:

Checked Baggage
Currently, you can check two bags per passenger free of charge. Starting May 5, 2008 this will be reduced to one free bag per passenger traveling in the U. S., the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.

Each bag must:

Weigh 50 pounds (22.5 kg) or less.
Not exceed 62 inches when you total length plus width plus height.
If you have a bag that exceeds these allowances, see Excess Baggage.

Exceptions:

Business Elite® and First Class passengers are allowed 3 checked bags at no charge up to 70 lbs.
Passengers traveling to or from Key West and Marathon, Florida are limited to only one checked bag.
The free weight allowance is 70 pounds (32 kg) for tickets purchased in Brazil, or for tickets purchased in Japan when traveling to/from Brazil.
Active duty military personnel with traveling orders will be allowed to check 2 bags up to 70lbs at no additional charge.
With the exception of original factory-sealed boxes that will be accepted on a standby basis, we do not accept boxes as checked baggage to Central or South America (except Brazil, Mexico, and Chile) at any time of the year.
 
Delta is usually the cheapest carrier out of anchorage to florida AND I always check more than one bag when I am coming home from vacation. This is really going to hurt how I have to pack and what I buy when we are down there. Less stuff to bring home. My budget is the only thing that is going to be happy
 
There are several airlines that have changed to this policy. I know American Airlines is going to it May 12th and Air Tran, also are. Going down there I won't have a problem, but coming home, I always try to check my carry on. In January I'm going on a cruise that has two formal nights. I don't think two formals, plus all my other clothes are going yo fit in one bag, so it looks like I'll just plan on paying the fee. With the price of fuel, I'm not surprised airlines are going to this, but I sure hate it.
 
Most airlines have initiated this policy. So plan to pay the fee when you check in and make sure that you check your airlines website. Some are allowing you to pay ahead of time online and save $5-10 on the fee.
