I have memorized the magic words and if I see that super special Kryptonium Tag, will repeat it. If you are not able to part with your spare, I will ask if I
can photograph it & post it on FT Kryptonium thread. Every flight is a Kryptonium Medallion trophy hunt.
OK. Back on topic. I whine every trip there are no Kryptoniums on board.
How on earth do these planes fly?

Send her back for unbroken cookies? My feeling is that they don't exist, but it doesn't seem fair. Sort of like looking for a unicorn eating a four leaf clover.

I honestly have no idea if what I witnessed on my DELTA flight today was a problem or not and I do not want any compensation for it, I was curious what you all think before I write in or if I receive a survey mention it there.
I flew in F today and the crew was super young and actually did a good job, no complaints there, but it was towards the end of the flight, the Captain indicated that we were on final and the flight attendant motioned to 2C and had 2C make the announcement about starting our final approach, tray tables up, arm rests lowered, etc.
Is that allowed, it seemed unprofessional and I personally have never witnessed anybody other than the Flight Attendant make the announcements, but I am not the frequent flier that you all area.
My seatmate was concerned enough about it to ask me, I honestly did not know what to say, but evidently by my post we landed safely and no bad came to us (not that I expected it to).
I guess my question is, is this something worth complaining about, is it serious? I honestly have no idea, but it did not seem professional by any means.
My gut says I am probably overacting but I am curious as to what more seasoned travelers think.
Thanks for any input.

Why have Westin Heavenly bedding, but no turndown service. Come on, Delta!
Also, why no walk up bar for Int'l or Transcon J?

Based in ATL, I don't have as much of a chance of getting the "Porsche transfer".
Solution: when it's not in use, the Panamera should ferry me from my "breakfast" coffee+Baileys in the F SC over to my "pre-flight" coffee+Baileys SC in whatever concourse I'm departing from.
And maybe have some unbroken Biscoff in a basket whilst in route.
