Re: Returning Soldiers beig charged for baggage
Just to clarify, I am not against our soldiers. I just want the whole story to be out in the open. I support our soldiers, and would be upset if they had to pay as well. Just need all the fact is all.

Re: Returning Soldiers beig charged for baggage
Ok well the WHOLE story is this.
Delta charges the solider, The soldier gets reimbursed from the government. So, they DONT get charged for the bag. They get 3 bags, and each bag can be 20 lbs over the max limit. One thing that you have to consider is the fact that the profit margins on the flights can be as low as $5 per person on an airline. The additional weight, and the additional baggage can actually push a flight from the black to the red just on weight alone.
