Delta baggage allowance question
Hi,
Does anyone know whether Delta charges $25 per checked bag on each leg of a flight?
We're going to Vancouver but flying via Toronto and coming back via Los Angeles and are concerned it's going to cost us $25 for each leg of the trip.
Thanks
CWT

Re: Delta baggage allowance question
If you did not book the flight segments separately and your only transfering flights you should not be charged for each leg. You will have to pay for both outwards and return flights.

In the past when we've asked something, we discovered there was a "delta" between what numpty on the phone said and what numpty at the airport put into practice. I was not a happy bunny on that flight

Last time we flew to Orlando from GR, via Atlanta we only paid the baggage fee once in each direction. Now we have the Delta Amex and don't pay any fees, for 4 of us that saves quite a bit.

Re: Delta baggage allowance question
Usually you would only have to pay one fee...but the airlines seem to be changing their policy every five minutes...that's why I suggested calling them.

Re: Delta baggage allowance question
I have a Delta Amex as well. It's great not to have baggage fees with them. I have the Platinum one which gives you a free domestix companion ticket each year. You also get priority boarding with a Delta Amex too.

Re: Delta baggage allowance question
I don't have the Platinum card but we still get the priority boarding, a companion ticket is $99 still a good deal considering how much we save in baggage fees.
