Yeah, I'm afraid I accidentally started all of this and it wasn't even about the senator's overspending. People just ridiculed her apparent dismay that she would be expected to eat cold Camembert like a commoner. It was quite funny and heavily mocked in the Canadian press. But let's move on, I'm sure that you are all hearing enough about politics these days without getting into it here

This website is awful for positing pics from an iPhone. But yesterday I had my Woodford served in an American Airlines glass on my way to DTW. I had to do a double take.

You are missing the point of the thread.

Is it possible that you had more than one, and, actually WERE flying American?!?!?

You haven't nary a bald clue where people are coming from, connecting to, or going. You teatoddlers [sic my own] do realize there are these things called time zones?

If they're not putting their cheesy, bare feet up on the bar; screaming on facetime; or being generally obnoxious, mind your own business.

It has always upset me that Delta does not put logos on any of their glassware. It gives me nothing that I can steal for my collection -

Yes, I got a Delta swizzle stick last week, but that is, uh, small beer in comparison with my new Eurostar wine glass.

At LAX, the DL golf cart is always at the other end of the tunnel. Don't they know I've deplaned?

Surely they do. I'm betting that you missed the Porsche driver waiting for you on the JetBridge!

Obama was in ATL today, which very nearly caused me to misconnect, I ran through ATL B (which is the first time I've run to make a flight in years) but my 2nd leg was delayed anyway due to a mx issue, then NO SNACK BASKET on my ATL-xxx mid-con. What the hell?

Was it a 900-1399 meal flight? The last few of those I've been on haven't had snack baskets.

Yeah this is why C+ is such a joke. DL needs to either commit to it as a higher class of service, or return it to being a simple up-sell.

The flight is over 900 miles, DL promises premium snacks, and none were provided. I'd send in a complaint, so that DL knows it happened, and can hopefully correct the problem in the future.

I'm trying to nonrev on a flight with 30 open seats and the gate agent says "we have a completely full flight so we'll have to check all bags....." It seems like they say it's completely full no matter what the actual load is.

I thought that was part of the script. I've heard GAs say it for flights that are Y50.
