I'm not on this board much, so apologies if this has already been posted.
New information for me and I'm thrilled
New! Effective July 6, 2010, Active Military personnel will not have to present Orders to have their bag fees waived. When Active Duty ID is presented, these passengers will have their 1st, 2nd and 3rd bag fees waived, in addition to oversize and overweight fees for these three bags. The bags must not exceed 100 pounds or 80 inches. Standard baggage fees apply for all bags checked in excess of three.
(from the AirTran site baggage info)
Nope, this is not the old with orders baggage cannot be charged.
After reading I called...The policy may be applied for recreational travel. I mentioned we are going to Disney. Must have military ID. ONLY for Active Duty. She specifically said not retirees.
The return flight from resort will require you check bags at the airport. There is no way it can be used with the third party used by DME.
She mentioned military member will be responsible for over-size/over-weight charges. I'm going to call back on this one. Did she mean the standard weight and size or the above 100 pounds, 80 inches? (Extra weight/size on 100 lbs? Wow!)
I sure am glad I was checking the site, I would have never known.
Hope this helps someone else.
