Didn't FAI service used to be seasonal with no flights at all in the winter?

Yes. It's best to ask them if they can stop orking the cows for a minute so you can get a straight answer.

I couldn't tell you. My first flight to Fairbanks will be in August.

Many of Delta's emails are "queued up" weeks or months in advance. That is why sometimes you cancel a ticket, but you still get an email reminding you
to check in, even though you cancelled the reservation weeks ago.
Mr. Tickets is online now

Me too. Said 305 purchases and gave me a scare since I've used the card twice this year.

super-size pictures embedded in posts (especially QUOTED posts, because the pix appear in both the original and the quote)

c'mon, people, click on "Source" in the toolbar, and scale down the image size ... more-or-less-standard iPhone pix default to 2000x1504, so just change that to 1000x752

And, to this end, when quoting posts, delete the pics from the quoted text. I don't need to see the same pictures three times.

Thanks, Delta!

If would be helpful if FT could have thumbnail pictures that you can click on to open in a new tab for a full size image but alas it is not an option.

Tall people who use the low wall mounted urinals who force short people to use the high mounted wall urinals!

I know what you mean. I hate it when lazy rock climbers use the lower urinals.

I'm not really tall, but it's nice that some people have an aversion to them (especially at ATL) and the floors seem to be a bit 'cleaner' around them.

App: your boarding pass is available for your flight tomorrow
Me: what? No it's not, for at least another 45 minutes
App: ...
Me: taps on notification
App: We're sorry, it's too early to check in for your flight


EDIT: oh, I bet this is a DST artifact.

Android, yeah. In addition to the above, when viewing the trip in the app, it showed me the check mark to offer check-in but gave the same error if clicked on. So it seems some parts of their system are DST-aware and others aren't...

I was able to check-in at the "true" T-24 normally.

I've definitely seen those sorts of weird scrolling issues in other apps but haven't noticed it in the DL app on iOS specifically.
