UA vs. DL on ORD-MSP in Y
Just an interesting comparison in terms of IFE, Lounge, and Beverage Service. I was going to post this in the DL or UA forum but thought a better place was here.
IFE:
DL: Nothing, AFAIK, unless headphones ($2) were offered, can't remember.
UA: Showed an episode of "30 Rock" with free headphones.
Lounge:
UA's Red Carpet Club
Free drinks, free WiFi, real cheese, crackers, wide assortment of cookies, 4 kinds of fresh veggies with dip, and several other snacks like yogurt raisins, nuts, bananas, apples, oranges, etc.
DL SkyClub
Free drinks, free WiFi, fake cheese, crackers, 2-3 kinds of cookies, carrots and celery with dip, bananas, apples, oranges, similar snack choices to UA.
Beverage Service:
DL: "Due to the duration of the flight, we will be unable to offer beverage service."
UA: Full beverage service.
Of course, other than that, things are similar. It's only an hour flight. But come on DL: an hour is too short for a drinks cart?
