Took my first flight on CO today. BWI to Newark. Was on an ATR, and guess what, a drink service. Unbelievable, all these years DL has been putting me on TWE with no drink service, no air-conditioning in the summer and seldom on time, not to mention scary.

Today’s flight was on time, the plane worked, I was impressed.

Arrived Newark and had to the do the bus thing, I am never wild about this, but it was not a long ride or wait.

Joined the CO lounge. Platinum price was better then full price, but I still like the free membership that DL gives PMs. However, the lounge at Newark is much better then any lounge at JFK or ATL. One problem, the data lines are really bad. I cannot get a good connection so I am working at a snails pace. Any suggestions on how to overcome the speed issue?

Off to MXP on a 777 which I understand is wide open, more comparisons to come soon.
