Checked bag question for jumpseat
Nonreving to international through Atlanta tomorrow. Atlanta is full as expected but the international leg wide open. I have the jumpseat to Atlanta reserved. Anyone had good luck with checking a bag all the way through on a mixed trip with both a jumpseat and non rev reservation? Want to make sure my bag makes it since the bag won’t get sent if I dont check in under the correct reservation.
Also dont want to book my self all the way there on the jumpseat in order to maximize the chances of Delta one.

I've run into a similar problem checking bags as a nonrev. Some will check the bag all the way through regardless (preferred method for me), and some will force the bag to wait until you clear.
I know American and United give you the option, at Delta it's gate agent roulette.
