I'm traveling with a full body bag in a coupla days to Jersey. Will I have to buy a "buddy" pass for it or can I just gate check it?

 

I am restoring a Lockheed Superconstellation. Do you think I will have to pay heavy bag charges if I try to bring the right wing with me?

Def check it...

 

Haha nice one.

 

Why would you want to do that?

 

Man the thing people come up with to damn funny.

 

Hey guys, I am almost done building a deck in my back yard, however the wood I am using is really rare and I can only buy it in one place.

Any ideas or tips on how I could jumpseat with 20 10 foot 2x4's would be appreciated. Would it be easier if I just take them straight to the gate?

 

I got a good story for this one....

I just went to Costa Rica from Orlando and checked my 6'0" surf board without any problem(Im a furloughed Comedyair guy). Thats because Orlando ticket agents are super nice and look out for OTHER EMPLOYEES. I have checked many oversized bags in the states without a problem and have always had the fee waived. I understand the policy is to charge as if you were a paying customer but most ticket agents will waive the fee. Again, we look out for each other. However, my friend and I were finished with out trip to Costa Rica and he was jump seating on Delta with me. We get to the ticket counter to check in and the agent recognizes that I have a surf board to check...
She says "I will have to charge you a oversized fee."
I said "Don't be ridiculous, Im sure you will help me out and waive the
fee."
She says "I cannot do that"
I said "This has never happened to me in the states, we help each other out. We are both employees."
She got her manager and she denied me as well. She wanted to charge me 300 dollars to check a surf board that was probably worth 100 dollars. I refused to pay and decided to take my bag, fins, and leash. I checked those 3 items and gave my board to some employee at the airport. I was quite p!ssed. I find out that my friend, who was jump seating on Delta, checked in with a ticket agent that had some common sense and allowed him to check his bag without any fee. If I ever fly again, I prey to God that the lady who checked me in will one day try to non-rev on my flight. I will deny her access to that airplane in a heartbeat. I remember her face perfectly.

 

First post, apologize if this has already been answered.

Wondering if anyone’s non rev’d on Delta from HNL-LAX with a log recently? (9’ +)
