Baggage question
Super basic question here, as I don't think the delta site is clear enough.
I am a Virgin Atlantic silver member, as well as BA Executive Club member too.
Am I right in saying, that the main cabin on Delta requires you paying for baggage and First does not? This is on a domestic flight.
Also, how do those baggage prices work with multi-city bookings? Is the cost per bag segment based or for the whole booking? I want to do LAS>LAX then a few days later do LAX>SFO then another few days later SJC>LAS but all as one booking. What would the checked baggage price end up at?
Thanks in advance.

Price is not by segment, but by ticketed destination.
LAS-LAX (stopover) fee
LAX-SFO (stopover) fee
SJC-LAS fee
If you book the domestic segments as part of an international ticket (say LGW-LAS, LAS-LAX, LAX-SFO, SJC-LAS, LAS-LGW), U.S. Department of Transportation 'single ticket, single allowance' rules mean you get x free bags on the domestic segments as you would for international standard allowance. Watch what that does to fare, though.

Thanks 3CForme.
So it would be $25 for the first bag, $35 for the second - making $60x3=$180 in baggage fees for main cabin, yeah?

Yes. Watch out for oversized bags and overweight bags because those fees will be additive to the 1st or 2nd bag fee.
