#^&*% Delta!!!!!

Drew and I thought we would be "smart" and only pack one suitcase to check.  Fees are $25 for one bag and $35 for the second bag.  So, he packed most of his stuff in a carry on.  Well, we get to the airport and he puts my suitcase up there to get checked and it's 55 lbs.  It's 5 lbs overweight so we get charged an ADDITIONAL $90 to check the bag!!!!  $115 total to check my freakin' suitcase!!!!!!

I HATE DELTA!!!!!!!!  I will never, ever fly with them again.  I don't care if my mom died and it's the only flight I can get.  Never again!!!!!!

Oh, and in case you're wondering, I did tell Drew that we should just pack two bags because I was stressing about it.  Needless to say, we just bought another suitcase so it doesn't happen again.

Re: #^&*% Delta!!!!!

  • For your trip home I would buy a somewhat bigger carry on and put some stuff in there.  They don't care how much your carry on weighs.

  • We registered (we're dorks) for a luggage scale for our wedding, and I swear we use it every time we fly... it's well worth it!

     Heck, at this point, stop by the post office and throw your dirty clothes in a "if it fits, it ships" box.  It's cheaper than more luggage, for sure.

     Sorry you ran into such a bummer to start your trip out! Have fun, despite the logistics...

     

  • Oh I would have been soooo pissed too. Sorry your trip started like this :(?

  • Similar thing happened to a couple that was in line with us coming back from the HM.  They paid more than double what DH and I paid for 2 bags b/c they had everything in an oversized and overweight bag.

    I agree with Kathy, I know so many people that have scales at home or have the luggage with the scales inside just in case.

  • That's crazy!!  Hope the rest of you trip is fantastic.  I like the idea of shipping home some of the dirty clothes.

  • We would ship home some clothes, but Drew actually underpacked so we'll (he'll) have to do some laundry when we get to Georgia.
