Delta credited my miles over the weekend. It only took three weeks and three increasingly-snarky requests! Just in time for our next flight on their lovely airline.<\/p>\n
I will seriously pay someone $5 if they can accurately predict what it will cost for us to check a bag apiece to and from Puerto Rico. Here is the situation:<\/p>\n
1) I bought the tickets in March on nwa.com. Northwest currently charges $25 per bag ($5 more if you do it in person!), but because they were purchased long ago, the old baggage rules<\/a> should apply. Please scroll through the 10-page series of charts to find that date range.<\/p>\n 2) We have regular coach class, which should be $15 each.<\/p>\n 3) But according to the two asterisks: For travel to\/from Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean, the first and second checked bags are free. <\/em>Hey, Puerto Rico is part of the Caribbean. Or is it, according to Northwest? And why are Canada and Mexico listed as notes under the domestic chart? By ‘Caribbean’, do they only mean the countries that aren’t US territories?<\/p>\n 4) Delta.com has no such complicated baggage policy: it’s $15 for the first bag. But we’re flying Delta there and Northwest back, so does that mean we get one policy on the way there and one on the way back?<\/p>\n 5) Will I get the correct miles credited? Wait, I already know the answer to that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Delta credited my miles over the weekend. It only took three weeks and three increasingly-snarky requests!
