A federal judge in Atlanta has ruled that a lawsuit accusing Delta Air Lines of illegally colluding with AirTran Airways to impose baggage fees on the flying public can go forward as a class action on behalf of the airlines’ customers.

Prior to 2008, Delta and AirTran did not charge a fee for passengers’ first checked bags.
