if its a dl ticketed flight & since the first flight is operated by dl, you will get the same baggage allowance that dl would give you....doesn't matter if other flights are operated by 9w....
Skyteam will of course honour DL status. But 9W isn't supposed to are they?
Why do you think they allow you the additional baggage? Lenient check-in? DL updates the ticket when you do your first check-in with them? I've noticed as *G that with UA I never got my status baggage allowance in my ticket unless I was booking T-24 (got it at check-in of course). Could there be some updates to your ticket that time or during check-in?
And do you get the same benefits on a DL ticket if your first flight is on 9W or non Skyteam member?
