Baggage for Buddy Pass

**paulorific** · 23-Apr-2009, 02:11 PM

Hi everyone,

I'm going to Brasil next week with a Delta BuddyPass, but I have some questions. I can't ask my friend who gave me the tickets because she doesn't know the answers as she doesn't deal with that type of stuff. Anyone who knows please take a minute of your time to help me out and I'll really appreciate it.

How many bags can I take?

The Delta website says for south America you can take 2 bags weighing less than 50 pounds each, but it also says the following:

This confuses me. I have always known that the weight for baggage to Brasil was 70 pounds, but now I'm not sure. So do you know if I can take 50 or 70? I paid for the flight online using the Delta Extranet, so I'm not sure.

Is there a way for me to check the standby list?

When I was paying for the flight I was able to check how many people were on the standby list. At the time I was on the extranet. Is there a way for me to see this information on the internet? (Since I don't have the password to use the extranet)

Thanks a lot everyone.

I just read thru the DLnet for NRSA:
50 # limit for each of 2 checked bags
IF you go over:
51-70# is $150 per bag
So, I suggest you weigh your bags carefully--and keep them a 1-3 pounds light, in case of scale differences

We can ck loads/standbys if we're here. Post flights/dates and we'll give you a look see--what's your employee's hire year?

GOSH--I almost forgot!!! I hope you are not planning to take any oversized bags with stuff like bicycles or ANTLERS (I AM NOT JOKING--that's what the extranet says!!!)

Ok, Jumper, I don't know about you, but I take my rack with me everywhere I travel!!
Side Note: Have you seen the new merger travel policies?? You will be SOOOOO HAPPY!!

What am I going to do with my antler shaped bicycles!?

Thanks a lot for the responses guys, even though it's disappointing news.

Do you by any chance know anything about the 70 lbs limit? You think it's only if I physically bought a ticket from Brazil? Anyway, thanks.

If you still want to check for me that would be really nice. Here's the information:

Hire year: I don't know the exact date but she's worked with Delta for over 15 years, I think.
Flights:

Thu 30APR DELTA 114 SA J LV MIAMI 306P **
AR ATLANTA 504P BUSINESS

Thu 30APR DELTA 61 SA J LV ATLANTA 935P D **
AR RIO DE JANEI 819A# BUSINESS

You don't need to check it right now but I assume I'd really need to know the day before to make sure.

Thanks again.

that's the same weight restrictions for revenue pax--51# costs no matter who you are

the date of hire is part of her # on your ticket--upper right corner

**ColoAvs19** · 24-Apr-2009, 02:40 AM

It'll be 50LBS because you bought the ticket on Travelnet, which means you bought it in the USA. There's no per pound fee, there're 2 tiers: 51-70LBS=$150, 71-99LBS=$275 or 300. Keep it under 50.

Thanks for clearing that up.

I found out that I am allowed to call a specific number to hear the standby list. Last time I checked there were 19-22 seats in business class for my two flights and some more in coach. Hopefully it won't fill up too much.

Thanks for the help everyone.

Paulorific--If your employee friend has a hire date in the 80's, then you have about a dozen pass riders ahead of you. As of today it looks pretty good for business class. I take it you are Brasilian, so you don't need a visa, yes? ( I just WISH I could get the 5 yr one!! Thought I'd complain while I'm here!!)

**paulorific** · 24-Apr-2009, 02:26 PM

Yeah, I'm Brazilian, so I don't need a visa. I haven't gone to Brazil in over 10 years though so I'll be almost as much of a tourist as anyone else.

Also, I found out ( once you pointed me in the right direction) that she's actually been working with Delta for since 1970. How are my chances now?
