#LifeDoesNotSuck

In the spirit of the holiday season I wanted to thank delta for all of the loveliness of the year and create a short list about how Delta makes life better.

I'll start with this. PDB's of woodford are always in plastic cups

Unless you spent extra time on RJ's

The airline led to this board's existence, which in turn led to love flourishing between two members.

Also, DL's treatment of purple luggage on flights from PHX-FLL-ZRH has been exemplary, in spite of excess costs. Must be the new A388s.

98% is GREAT!

Well at least for me, since I'm only a lowly FO.
Even as an FO, my UG % has been around 30% (apparently I've been taking too many INTL/Hawaii/AS flights this year so I don't get anything ).

Not bad for a guy who doesn't fly that much. I don't ever expect upgrades, I just try and hope for the best and pray to the upgrade gods that maybe I'll get a little treat every now and then.

Mrs. Wwguy and I are enjoying Christmas holidays in the southern Caribbean, for the 4th year in a row. We've consistently found medium-tier award tickets in First Class during peak demand, thanks to info shared here on FT.

Happy Holidays everyone.

DL has treated me well this year.

The TATL OpUp and VDB that only delayed my LAX arrival two hours on Thursday were quite nice.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Hope all have great travels in 2013.

GoGo WiFi

GoGo WiFi on most flights means work ends with wheels down in SRQ. Let's me be a full time Dad when I get home -- and that is the best job in the world!

I'm thankful for plethora of information and entertainment on FT, as well as those responsible for ExpertFlyer and KVS.

Thanks all...

On those occasions when my meetings ended early. SDC allowed me to make it to two or three of my kids events that I didn't expect to make.

Thanks DL!

More than 90% on time, or close enough.
