Why is delta charging me 220$ for 3 checked bags? 🙈🙈 its just from dallas to nyc. For some reason its 70$ for 2 but 220$ for three. Is there a better option to send baggage separately?

Pricing models assume low elasticity of demand. If you have to check three bags, odds are you'll pay up for it. So the theory goes.

Why tf do you need 3 checked bags???? And you’re traveling alone? If not, apply one bag to one of your companions tickets and just venmo them.

Use the delta card.

Sometimes it's cheaper to buy a shadow ticket for better bag rates (plus you have nobody sitting beside you)

I haven’t honestly never seen someone taking up two seats before…

Is one of them oversized?

It said 150$ for 3 on the site but its just a lot for the third one.

It’s not linear. 1 person with 3 checked bags is taking up more than the normal cargo space, so you’re paying for it. Sorry.

For future - If you fly southwest, you’re carryon and your first 2 checked bags are free

Buying 1st class would have given you 2 checked bags for free and you could have added 1 for $30.

Ask them if an upgrade is available and take it if cheaper

Take it and enjoy the 1st class trip or book southwest next time like folks mentioned here lol

I have a third round interview this Thursday, but after I sent my availability, I booked a flight for work that is causing a problem.

Would it be a bad idea to say my availability changed and I can't do that time slot anymore? Or should I cancel / rebook my flight to later at night?

Hi Fishes,

I received an offer (28 Lakhs + 3.9 Lakhs incentive) from Novartis for Sr Project Manager yesterday. This was just 13.6% more than my current earnings as Project Manager. I've given the reasons why I deserve at least 30% to HR. In response to that, HR has sent 2nd offer i.e. 29 Lakhs + 4 Lakhs incentive + 50k sign-on bonus. The 2nd offer is just 18.2% higher than my current earnings. Need your suggestion, if I could still negotiate with HR to finalize deal by asking for 25% hike?
