I think the reservation computer gets confused when a FF with status uses miles to get a ticket for a non-frequent flyer.
Either way, the agent was correct on the fee.
So, now its happened a second time - the confirmation shows NO baggage fee for checked bag. This time, my FF number was nowhere to be seen in the reservation.... I any event, if the website was confused with my FF number, you would think that it would show TWO free checked bags since my status level is Plat.
