YouTube army baggage video: Soldiers returning through BWI decry Delta baggage fees - Baltimore Sun

Quote:

Delta Airlines will reimburse members of an Army unit for $2,800 in baggage fees incurred while traveling through BWI Airport this week.

...Army officials said soldiers are eligible for reimbursement from the government for excess baggage fees while traveling on military business.

...Delta's previous policy allowed military personnel traveling in economy class to check three bags for free, and four bags if traveling in business or first class. Each bag can weigh 20 pounds over the standard allowance.

The airline's policy was in line with that of other major carriers, including American, Continental, United andU.S. Airways.

Army officials said those involved in Tuesday's incident were told that they could check four bags for free and that they could expense any excess baggage fees.

I flew Delta once. Once was enough.
