I like the Delta cookies so much that, on the rare occasion I get a FC upgrade, I feel cheated when I don't take advantage of the other options in the fancy snack basket.

Furthermore if I do pick something other than Delta cookies I always regret the choice.

And finally, if I pick more than one item I feel greedy.

It is a serious conundrum and I am glad I have found this most appropriate outlet for my frustrations.

I know! I thought I was the only one who thought this. I always end up putting lotion on my arms and /or wiping the excess lotion off my hands with a paper towel

Korean Air at E gate. 2014

Sorry, I've never posted a picture and screwed it up. Picture is of Korean Air A380 sitting at E gate

Apparently not.

Usually relegated to the "preferred" seats in the back. Fancy is relative. The other day FA all but threw the pretzels at me, and her response when I asked for cookies; you would have thought I asked for the "fancy" basket.

The Gluten-Free pretzels have been replaced by something inedible - resembles crisp carboard sprinkled with a dash of salt.

I have two.

1) Last night at DTW, after I arrived at the SkyClub at the end of the high As and found a seat with a view of the late Fox NFL game, my departure gate was changed from A71 to B11.

2) Also last night, after moving to the B/C SkyClub I could not, for the life of me, find the chocolate chip cookies. Once I did, I had to wait for a husband to stop giving his wife a hard time about how many she was loading up on before their flight out.

People at the ATL B food court who take the tables by the window and they're not even looking out the window. If you're going to sit with your back to the window go sit somehwere else and let the normal people who actually like to look at planes sit by the window.

Maybe he feared that if she ate too many their flight would be weight restricted and would have to offload their luggage. 🤔

Luckily it can be turned off in the FT options.

Of course, I already did that once, so why do I have to do it again just because they "updated" the site

I forgot to remove the baggage sticker from my checked bag (not the long bag tag, the much smaller secondary strip that they stick on the bag presumably as backup). It's only been 3 days but already it left behind a ton of sticky residue when I finally removed it

Was able to clean it off with tape and an alcohol wipe though
