And whether I checked in on the website, the Delta app or at the airport, my baggage allowance reflected the extra free bag I was due as Elite Plus. All my Delta flights posted to my account within days. Which ones am I going to have to go back and claim retroactively because they weren't credited to my account? The AZ and AF trans-Atlantic segments, of course.
Isn't it a little sad that someone saying "welcome on board" is a benefit for elites? It's what would have been termed basic etiquette at one point.
