You know you love DL (and PMNW) when you fly to Asia from MSP via DTW to be able to ride the overhead red train, maybe to walk through the psychedelic tunnel, and previously to visit your signed rock (RIP).

DCA based. DL is definitely not the easy option, but I'd rather connect through ATL, MSP, DTW over riding on an AA or UA plane.

Yep, same here. I'm frequently routing through ATL for my international and domestic flights rather than taking the direct United flight out of IAD. I'd rather kill 2 hours in ATL at the bar at Ecco than deal with IAD and United.

Don't you like the free (or luxury) bar in the F SC? Or the SkyDeck?

.... when you tell the shower attendant at a Sky Club w/ showers how much you LOVE the lotion and they gift you with two bottles. AND they did it for the sheer joy of customer satisfaction but I still tipped them, SHHHHHHH!!!

I do - especially the SkyDeck - but I really don't like the Sky club food so I normally head in there after I have a sandwich or an app at Ecco. I just enjoy sitting at the bar in there; once I had a nice dinner up at the bar with Ed Sheeran and his friends the day after he did a concert in Atlanta. My only complaint is the autotip that is added to your bill.

With you on that one, love DL way more than the competition and glad I live at one of their hubs. I like UA but I could never be loyal to AA with the amount of times they screwed me over.
