Once again: Delta IT FTW!

At least AFAIK DL wasn't confused by Leap Year. I was staying in a Hyatt hotel the night of February 29th, checked in (during the afternoon) and sound asleep, when the hotel generated a "it's time to check in" email to me at 3 am.

I want to complain about this post being in this thread.

This is quite consequential and should not even be here!

No dice for calls one & two.
The third call was the charm, and the rep held for a moment while I refreshed my wallet to see the change was done.
In the customer service survey, I noted the app & site should allow selection for the specific RUC one would like to apply, if the first-expiring one isn’t automatically applied, as it should be.

Perhaps that is why it has 2 levels - one for the shoe on the top and the other for the shoe being on the other foot

The FC/Comfort dividing curtain is annoying when one sits in 10C on a A321 and isn't opened lol. It definitely encroaches on my space. Mrs. FLYPWM sitting in 10D was getting annoyed with me because I was getting annoyed with the curtain.

I got a paper cut when going through the "Get to know your new and enhanced benefits." packet for my Delta Reserve card that they mailed me. The paper was too rigid.

Delta has had some pretty bad safety videos but the current one takes the cake. There will be a lawsuit if there is an emergency. What in the heck does a bunch of people sitting on folding chairs, outside, at a resort, have to do with getting off a plane in an emergency situation. STOP BEING CUITE DELTA and just give us a video that might actually help those who rarely travel.

I miss the funny/weird ones. I would actually pay attention to those.

I know the A350 Suite is the flagship J product for Delta, and it was a wonderful seat, but when they close the curtain at the rear of D1, blocking off the PS galley, you're forced to get up and stretch in the very small and very utilized J galley up front. Makes me appreciate the VS 787 UC coffins since at least there you can get up and stretch at the bar or the open space (though in all honesty minus the lack of storage I love the ottoman for sleeping).

Main and C+ seating on the A220 is 2-3 rather than 3-2

I prefer right-side windows to left-side windows (esp when traveling with Mrs767, who as a right-handed knitter would rather not worry about either her elbow or her work encroaching on either the aisle or a middle-seat passenger)

and — presumably like most others — I *greatly* prefer a 2-seat row to a 3-seat row
