Many travelers avoid checking luggage when they fly, proudly declaring themselves part of Team Carry-On, but these travelers miss out on easy miles from [Delta Air Lines' and Alaska Airlines’ checked baggage guarantees](. That’s right: [Delta and Alaska compensate flyers]( when they fail to deliver luggage to the baggage claim area within 20 minutes of your plane’s arrival at the gate. Delta gives SkyMiles members 2,500 bonus miles for delayed luggage on domestic flights, but you must submit an online form within three days of your flight’s arrival to claim your miles. Similarly, Alaska offers a $25 discount code for a future Alaska Airlines flight or 2,500 Mileage Plan bonus miles, given that you visit the baggage office to make your claim within two hours of your flight's arrival. It’s easy to make claims when your luggage is delayed with either airline. In addition to the compensation you can receive if your luggage arrives late, these guarantees seem to make Delta and Alaska prioritize getting luggage off the plane and to the baggage claim in a timely manner – a major win for travelers on Team Checked Luggage.
