When it came to boarding, I went into the priority boarding lane, at the correct time, with my platinum card handy, and my Elite plus membership printed out on my boarding card, but oh no, I was sent back and round to the economy lane ! Despite a brief discussion with the gate agent, it made no difference, back I was sent !
The flight itself reminds me why I travel business 99.99% of the time on long haul, it was the most uncomfortable night of my life, with a few 15 minute snatched sleeps between babies screaming etc.
Nah, forget it, it's never going to be Delta again, not in coach anyway !
Sorry to say, but I've not encountered these issues with DL. I get zone 2 boarding, and Sky Priority printed on my boarding pass.
As for babies screaming, that's not DL's prerogative, I've had them on every airline I've flown with. (And reading the post on the AC board today, if you fly KL out of YYZ, it's the babies flight because of the connections to India and Africa ... talk about stereotypes)
Cheers,
