More than 24 hours after booking your flight, you can check in and tell Delta how many bags you want to carry with you on the plane.
Oversized and overweight luggage, what does Delta Air Lines say?
If you are bringing a purse or 2 or even 3 out of 10, read the instructions for the associated costs.
