Can we all checkin as one party in Sky Priority lane?
Can my family take advantage of free checked bags given my status and /or the Amex card?
if they should not check in sky priority do I need to go with them so they can check bags free? If so do I just tell the desk agent they are with me? Not sure what that would do since desk agent response would be who are you....
I know there is a way to link inteneraries but I don’t know if that does anything in this regard. If linked are you on the same intenerary which is what the baggage fee waiver language seems to require.
Trying to avoid confusion as 5 of the 7 seldom fly and save them bag fees. It is a 15 day trip to somewhere cold (Yellowstone) so carry ons only would be tough.
I asked this same question, although I wasn't in different itineraries they made it very clear for the other people to take advantage of my (also gold) status they had to be in the SAME reservation as I was. Saying they are "with you" means nothing unless you are on the same reservation.
You might get by security and even boarding with a bunch of paper boarding passes, but it won't work for free bags. Although you could check some of theirs as your bags to avoid cost since you get 3 per person in first. Between the 7 if you if you keep it to six bags you won't have to pay.
