Anyway, after packing it up, it feels pretty darn heavy. I can still pick it up with one hand, but I have no idea what that works out to.

I know medallions get 2 free checked bags up to 70lb each.

My question is this: can that also mean ONE checked bag up to 140lb?

I highly doubt my bag weighs that much, but for the return it might weigh 80-90lb.

Also, one segment of my international portion is on Air France economy. The first leg will be DL business class. I assume my bag will be checked all the way through. So can I ignore Air France checked baggage rules?
No. You will be charged if any single bag is over 70lbs.
DL won't take bags over 100lbs as checked baggage.

I check bags all the time for work and we check bags right up to the 70lb limit.

*special items, such as sports equipment are different
