My son was returning from Miami to Atlanta Saturday and was forced to pay $80 to carry his wakeboard bag. He told the agent it was a water ski as we have been advised to do and has worked numerous times, it worked going down on Wednesday. The agent in Miami said water skis are no longer allowed as free baggage. Asking for a supervisor did no good. It was either pay the money, leave the board or you're not getting on this flight. I looked at the Delta website and Water skis are not mentioned anywhere. Snow Ski's and Snowboards are still allowed. Golf bags are allowed if under 50 pounds. Delta has also announced that effective May 1st you are only allowed one free bag, second bag will be $25 and 3rd thru 5th will be $80 each. Looks like its time to find a golf bag the board will fit in.
