Re: Baggage Allowance On Delta/KLM Flights?
Do NOT use Delta. There is no allowance. You pay $25 for each bag checked. I just had my second flight with them and it was the second foul-up and second cancelled flight with no information or guidance whatsoever. I wound up spending the night in Memphis.
However since you are initially flying KLM with a connecting flight on Delta in the US, there should be no charge. The bag will go from plane to plane.
