Delta Air Lines is changing their checked baggage policy and will no longer transfer a traveler's bags to other airlines when traveling on separate (split) tickets.  Effective for travel on or after January 15, 2013, Delta's policy will be to check a passenger's baggage between the origin and destination points orlando airport rent a car that are indicated on a single or conjuncted ticket exclusively.  Conjuncted reservations are multiple tickets on a single itinerary.  If a second orlando airport rent a car (split) ticket is presented for travel on another airline beyond the destination of the first ticket, the passenger will be advised that Delta will only check the bag to the destination on the first ticket(s). The passenger must then collect the baggage at baggage claim in their first ticketed destination, and then re-check their baggage with the down-line carrier for the next flight.
Previously, in cases where a passenger presented more than one ticket to a Delta airport agent at the origination point, Delta would offer to check the baggage from the origin on one Delta ticket to the final destination on the second ticket even if the 2 nd ticket was on another airline; collecting both Delta's and the other airline's fees.
This policy update does not apply when the passenger has an entire journey on one ticket or  if there are multiple tickets all on Delta or Delta codeshare partners, booked as Delta flights.  In these situations, Delta will continue to check baggage through to the ticketed destination as normal policy.
Delta Policy: Delta will check the baggage for the ATL to LAX flight only.  Upon the flight's arrival at LAX, the passenger must collect the baggage at the Delta baggage claim and then proceed to check it with the down-line carrier for the next flight LAX to NRT.
