not sure why i just thought of this, but how many of you have been on a flight into philly where they've announced flight connections and gate information and one of the flights on the list was the flight to frankfurt, delaware? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

i've heard this innumerable times over the past few years.

that great metropolis of frankfurt, delaware!!

I guess when they see Frankfurt, DE on their list, they just assume DE is a state. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I still love it when folks going across the pond to MAN are misdirected by US employees and sent to the MHT gate!

Delaware's a state? Well, I'll be....

I thought it was just a suburb of Philly. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Until the switch to Sabre the manifest showed the city codes instead of the city name. FAs would just skip the ones they didn't know or read out the code: "Flight 3654 to SWF leaves from gate B-12..."

We ALL know Delaware is a suburb of Philly (or else a suburb of Ocean City, MD). http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

But your profile says Philly? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/confused.gif

No wonder nobody's heard of....

Wait..... what's it called again?

My girlfriend used to live in Frankford, DE.

No US service although SBY is only 30 mins away.

Well, Delaware might be small and essentially a Philly suburb (in the north) or a Washington, DC beach playground (in the south), but I bet a large number of you here mail a check to a Delaware address once a month. Worse yet, you probably receive credit card offers in the mail, sent from a Delaware address, about every other day. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

That beats the time I got stuck in toronto, and I told the agent (air canada) I wanted to go to Dulles (DC) and she got me on a flight to DFW.

And I've been in the MHT MAN screw up several times in the past.

Corporate travel once put me on MAN instead of MHT http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif Alas, I didn't have the nerve to go through with it http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

Worse yet, companies in which we hold stock run up to Delaware every now and then to screw us over... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif
