That was the question at hand this past weekend. My hubby was wondering whether it would be wise to ship luggage to Alaska and avoid any additional baggage charges.
I checked on delta.com and I thought they allowed for at least one free checked bag but from what I see now, Delta charges $25 for the first piece of luggage and $35 for the second piece. The luggage must be 50lbs or less.
You are allowed to carry on one item and one personal item.
You can ship items I guess but I read that some hotels are now charging an 'acceptance' fee when the package first gets there as well as a 'holding' fee for each day that they hold your items. So make sure you check all of your options.
I think you can also ship to the local post office and have them hold it there. I have never done this so it would take some more research.
Nothing like the airlines taking advantage of you every which way they can!
