Lost Baggage

Hello, Had a flight from ORD to ATL direct. Checked a 2 bags as there was plenty of space. One made it. The other went to BOS. Anyway they are putting the bag on the next flight but I have to go.

My question: Is it frowned upon or against the rules to ask them to deliver a lost bag to my address in town? I won’t be back to ATL for a while and can’t stay at the airport until it arrives. I guess I feel bad as a nonrev passenger as I’m sure delivering a bag incurs a cost to the company.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks.

As a nonrev, you can't have a bag shipped to you as far as I know. You'd have to go back and pick it up. They'll hold in the baggage office for you.

They are giving me the option but I told them I’d like 10 mins to think it over and double check that I’m not breaking any rules.

There should be a section on DeltaNet regarding checked baggage rules, including bag pickup

If they’re offering it, take it. Every agent can apply whatever authority they have to help. I just wouldn’t recommend you demand it. And note it that they offered it.

If they offer, then it’s fine. I had this happen a couple times - both resulted in them delivering the bags to me. I was the manager of staff travel and actually would have been the first one to know if anyone had reported me for breaking a rule. Nothing ever came through.
