SkyTeam - Baggage fees, AF coded flight, DL flight

Hi:
I will be traveling to France in December, on an Air France coded ticket, but the flight is operated by Delta. I'm wondering if I will be charged $50 for the second baggage. An article published in the chicagotribune (http://www.eturbonews.com/11262/baggage-fees-spreading-international-flights) a few days ago state that
"Air France doesn't charge luggage fees for flights that it code-shares with Delta, its partner in the SkyTeam alliance, even if the flight is operated by Delta."
Is this true that I won't be charged baggage fees even though the flight is operated by Delta?

Welcome to FlyerTalk!

I'd be very surprised if this were the case. Generally speaking the baggage policies and fees are set by the carrier with which you check the bags and they are not variable based on the ticketing carrier.

Hi
I am going through the same issue. have a AF ticket operated by DL from JFK to ATH. I called AF they told me I pay their fees. Called DL they told me I pay their fees. Went on DL website and found this

"Governing Rules for Codeshare Flights
For codeshare services, each customer will be entitled to the free baggage allowance and charged the
excess baggage charges (when applicable) of the Marketing Carrier, regardless of who the Operating Carrier is. If the need arises for operational or safety related reasons, the Operating Carrier may require that
carry-on baggage be checked at the gate, but no additional excess baggage charges will apply."
Marketing carrier being AF. Feel so much better. Saved 200 bucks:D
