Delta Skymiles AMEX Gold
Hi everybody,
I hope I'm posting in the right area.....first post here
Anyhow, I finally decided to try a Delta card and see how the upgrades work for me. I only fly twice maybe 3 times/year. But it just occurred to me about checking the first bag free....
Does that mean I no longer have to worry about going over the 50 lb limit?
Wow, I'll be in heaven if that's the case. I've come close a few times to having to pay another NINETY DOLLARS.
TIA,
Cassandra

Swat16's right--they're going to charge you if you go over. However, since you mentioned upgrades, if you have Medallion Status and get your upgrade confirmation in advance, then you'll be able to check 3 bags up to 70 lbs each without paying a fee.

Thanks so much for your replies. I figured it would be too good to be true. But it just makes me mad when I see all the types of bags or flight status that get free bags.....like people flying to Europe or Brazil. And the Medallion upgrade....THREE bags!!! I don't fly enough (thankfully) to get all those fancy upgrades.
Oh well....like my brother the pilot says.....even with all the delays and charges...it's STILL the quickest and cheapest way to get somewhere.
Thanks again,
Cassandra
