But what if she's gorgeous?

Back on topic: our itineraries do not overlap at all. We're just departing on Delta the same day.

OK, plan B. We'll check in together ask nicely and roll the dice. If agent says: "no free bag for your family" I'll charge it to my (classic) Amex Platinum Card and get it reimbursed.

Yeah, small potatoes but it's a part of the game!
