​​​​​​​The number of free checked bags depends on your highest status level at time of ticketing or check-in. If your status level is:
  • Higher at ticketing than at check-in, show your ticket receipt to the airport agent
  • Lower at ticketing than at check-in, current benefits will automatically apply
