2 Questions Flying Basic Economy with Delta--Seating-Baggage
In a few weeks our family of 7 is flying to Central America on Delta. My children's ages are 7,9,12,14, and 16. Since I was buying seven tickets I opted for Basic Economy, but now I am doubting it a bit.
Question 1: What are the chances of getting seated together? The three oldest are likely fine sitting alone, but the two youngest girls need to sit with Mom or me. Will at least two groups of 2 tickets be together?
Question 2: I have a Delta Gold Amex credit card. I believe this lets me check in luggage free for my whole family. How does this process work? Do I do this when I online checkin the day before or what wait till we are at ticket counter at airport?
Thank you
