I was just toying with the possibility of using my companion cert from my Delta Amex platinum card. It is advertised as a free companion ticket. I realize that there will always be some taxes to pay on any award/companion type ticket. However, there was an additional charge that showed up when I just recently searched. On the trip summary screen there were 4 lines:
Price for primary passenger: $xxx
taxes/fees: $43
price for companion passenger: $40
taxes/fees: $43
This $40 charge for the companion has me stumped. Is this normal? Is the companion certificate not really 'free'? I am already having a hard time swallowing the primary ticket price for this trip, thus my frustration.
