Book your bags ahead of time. The fees post-booking are absurd
KishoreFlew with ITA Airways-Dec 2024
Be prepared for confusion. The Delta boarding pass you get is actually not usable at JFK. You have to go to the ITA desk and get a paper ticket. Again something Delta doesn’t tell you. Poorly managed partnership

bring comfy clothes and a good neck pillow

Take later flight in evening so passengers more tir e and sleeping. Get your own food before flight.
