The wife's MCO-ATL (I TOLD her not to fly DL)
I'm so very glad that I quit flying DL several years ago. Hearing about my wife's experience yesterday only reconfirms that decision.
She left the house at 11 AM for a 1 PM flight. Arrived MCO at 11:30. Carrying on bags so as not to get waylaid by the carousel from hell in ATL. To the gate she goes; presumably in plenty of time to find a better seat than 24E on an L1011. H class fare and DL don't care. In the middle she goes. No overhead lights/air. Plane leaves 45 minutes late; finally the beverage cart comes around. Choice of: warm water or cranberry juice. No beer. No Pepsi. No nutz.
Arrives ATL, goes on the 3 mile hike to the door and finally outside. 5 PM she arrives at her hotel. I could've left at the same time she did, driving, and still beat her there!
Stay tooned for the ATL-MCO return.
Cheers,
