Post / Link Changed??
« on: January 24, 2020, 09:53:27 AM »
Looking for the ORIGINAL post of 20% off flights on Alitalia, the one where it clearly said 2 free checked bags with economy. When I used the link from DDMS that's what it said, now when I went back it says 2 bags with business class. I know I'm not senile, definitely booked this bec. of 2 free bags incl., see screenshot, but alitalia claims no add'l bag incl. even though the booking confirmation also says so! I don't hold @Dan or anyone else responsible but really want to know if I'm losing it or what, does anyone else know if the post clearly said "2 free checked bags" on DDMS at the time it was active? I also remember there being many more comments in the original post so something just doesn't add up.

I checked the post revision history, all edits to every DD post are saved automatically:


Revision 1 is the blank draft:


The original published post had the same baggage info as is there now:


A few seconds later I made an edit of the URL when it was linked for a 2nd time in middle of the post:


And I made one final edit the next day, adding blackout dates:


And that's it.

OMG I definitely am losing it. 

@Dan not to challenge you just plain curious, why would the reservation say 2 checked bags though? Confirming you saw the screenshot I attached.

And calling all experts, what do I do now?

I'd suggest you file a DoT complaint against Alitalia if you have a screenshot showing 2 bags and they won't honor it.

That screenshot seems to suggest that you are entitled to 2x23 kg on the outbound. Are you at the airport now? If not, I'd raise it there.
