The first flight must be both DL marketed and operated for the Amex First Bag free benefit to apply. A DL marketed, AF/KL operated flight, is not eligible if is the first flight in your itin. The delta.com website shows the operating carrier at the bottom of the flight listings. (DL Connection carrier regional jets flights are considered DL operated).
