time sensitive- baggage charge $150?
Thanks for any help as Im unclear on this and DL line is 50 min waitt-ime. Flying today and trying to move boxes ATL-LAX. Husband and I both get two bags free (Im silver and have DL Amex, hes gold-making platinum when we arrive at LAX). Thought wed each take 3 boxes in addition to carryons and just pay what I expected would be 35$ for each third box...(within size parameters etc) when checking in it indicated 2 bags free but wants to charge 150$ for third bag...Please tell me this is not correct.
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance

This page shows $150 for a 3rd bag per person. If your husband was already PM he'd get 3 free up to 70lbs.
You may ask at the airport about an exception if your husband will be a PM upon arrival.

PM = 3 bags free
Wife on same reservation how many bags does she get? Believe she is treated as a "PM" for the flights with me on the new system?
And technically if we check stroller and 2 baby seats those don't 'count'? I think I read that correctly. Basically 2 baby seats, 1 stroller and 2 actual bags.

Children’s strollers and seat restraints are not counted as part of the standard baggage and therefore can easily be checked for free. For your convenience these items may be checked at curbside, the ticket counter, or at the gate.
