Additional luggage fee from US to Europe with a domestic connection

I have a single ticket from Little Rock, AR airport to Paris CDG (France).

Reservation was done on Air France website, first flight is operated by Delta from Little Rock to Atlanta and has a DL tracking code, while the second is Air France operated with an AF code.

I wish to bring an additional luggage (1 carry-on and 2 checked), so I'll have to pay a fee.

However, do I need to pay the fee twice or do Air France and Delta have a baggage agreement and I'll only pay it to Delta ? I couldn't find this information online, was only able to find the fees.

Thanks

Best Answer

Generally you will pay the carrier your purchased from. When doing your online check-in, if you see the option of buying additional luggage, then you can do it there and just bring the receipt (although it will be on file too) when you go to the airport to get your luggage tags.

Now, if the option is not offered to you, you will pay it at the check-in counter which will be the one from Delta. Luggage fees are per way, so you will be 1 or 2 pieces (depending if your ticket had 0 or 1 in its included allowance). You will pay a similar fee on your return, either again when checking-in with AF or at the Air France counter, since they operate the first lag of your return flight.
