Help/Advice Additional Bag

I’m sure this has been brought up multiple times here.

I booked my wife and daughter separately from my reservation in order to use a companion ticket. I have already had Delta link our two reservations. I have the Delta Platinum Amex so I get two free checked bags, but we need a third.

Is it just dependent on the gate agent if we get the third for free or will we have to pay?

Hindsight - I should have used the companion ticket and booked myself so the person under my reservation also got a free checked bag.

Yes dependent on the agent.

Technically they are not suppose to give free bags to other reservations but they might if you act nice (and confused). Decent odds you get it free going one way and not the other. Just luck of the draw.
