any airline experts about? (Delta)

[Neoshoegal]

Next month we're going to US again (for work) and it's a multi city trip.
All flights are on one ticket with Delta. First we fly from Manchester to Jacksonville (via Altanta). Our second flight is Jacksonville to New Orleans (again via Atlanta). Then we fly back home, New Orleans to Manchester (via Altanta).

Delta's luggage allowance for international flight is one case person. But for internal flights you have to pay for any luggage. Will we have to pay for the Jacksonville to New Orleans stretch of the trip or as it's all on one ticket, will our allowance remain 1 bag?

If you buy on 1 ticket you get international allowance for your whole trip.

From Delta site:

Will the first and second bag fees be charged to International passengers that have connections/stopovers within the U.S.?
For international customers making a connection/stopover to or from the U.S., or at a later date during their travel within the U.S. on the same itinerary, international fees and rules apply.

If an international customer comes to the U.S. and travels domestically on a separate ticket, domestic rules will apply.

Thanks Wayne, missed that on the website.

it would be a good idea for you to go to the delta website and print out that section to have with you..
delta tends to be very strict - and if the ground agent isn't familiar with that, they'll try to charge you....

i have LOTS Of experience with delta (pretty much the only airline if you want to fly in or out of detroit).....they can sometimes be difficult (depends if you get someone who is originally delta, or if they're originally Northwest ...the NWA staff tend to be much better)..

but anyway, definitely do print out that page and carry it with you
