On a recent trip
The smiling lady at the Delta ticket counter pleasantly requested an additional $90 because one of the bags was about 10lbs heavy. She didn't even offer the option of doing the "airport luggage shuffle" which got us under the limit.
I had purchased 3 tickets, one for myself, my girlfriend and one of my daughters who opted out of the vacation last minute. Delta refused to refund or even give me use of the ticket at a later date, although for $100 (on a $250 ticket), my daughter (and no one else) could use it on a Delta flight within the year. Since I knew she probably wouldnt be taking a trip within a year I opted to keep the third ticket so we'd have a bit more room to stretch out. Nope, Delta said the ticket, since it was "unused" goes back in the "pot". I argued with the gate attendant who threatened to knock me off the flight...and after we sat down in the plane another passenger who was given our seat sat down next to us. Even though the flight was only about 2/3 full. I just know the gate attendant intentionally placed her next to us. My girlfriend and I were bitching about it to the point that the passenger moved to another seat but that's not the point.
While in Florida, I purchased a small portable "digital luggage scale" at Divers Direct, and got all the bags close to but below 50 lbs. Wouldn't you know that one of them weighed 52 lbs at the curbside check in, on Delta's scale. After I produced and calibrated my scale, they "let it slide".
Delta blows, I'll never use that airline again unless I have no other choice.
