LARGIN Posted September 5 #1 Share Posted September 5 We plan to use EZ Check on our cruise ending in Fort Lauderdale flying home on Delta. Question, we have Delta Skymiles. Can we use our miles to pay for the $35 baggage fee. If so, how do we do it? The Delta rep had no clue. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted September 5 #2 Share Posted September 5 Highly doubt it since I believe this would be charged to your onboard account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A company is contracted to take them to FLL drop them off at the appropriate airline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VibeGuy Posted September 5 #8 Share Posted September 5 EZ Check will work if you have a free bag entitlement based on airline status or class of service, but will not work to use the mileage-redemptive payment for bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disputing what you're saying...but how would you go about this process when you are charged by Princess as the "middleman" in the process? How is Princess going to know anything about your particular airline loyalty status? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwimum Posted September 6 #11 Share Posted September 6 When we have utilized EZ check out of Fll and Sea we have not paid for bags due to utilizing an Alaska airlines credit card. From memory there is a line item on the request form for taking advantage of EZcheck where it asks for frequent flyer account which in my instance ties back to the credit card.

WisCruiser2 Posted September 6 #12 Share Posted September 6 IIRC, the fee for EZ Check (it was $25/bag in February) is separate from any airline bag fee. We get free bags with our Delta Amex, but I think if you have a bag fee it gets charged with the EZ check fee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is Princess going to know anything about your particular airline loyalty status? The company that actually runs the backend passes on the bag fee messages that are returned when they prepare the airline bag tags. So if you have status or class of service free bags, they just see “0.00”. The itinerary information + number of checked bags returns the amount to collect. Among other reasons, it’s why only domestic flights are supported. International flight rules when there may be multiple marketing or operating carriers, let alone codeshares, cause enough errors that require agent intervention that the juice just isn’t worth the squeeze to know how to handle all the exceptions.
