Combined with the 500 mile "Thank You" bonus promotion, could this be the start of a more customer focused Delta? We can only hope!
I'll be in Europe on the 18th, or I'd be there. Who's going?
Confirmed:
1. flygirl555
2. miro
3. milesandpoints
4. stretchman

Well, I am disappointed but can't attend. I have wanted something like this for a long time but with the short notice, I can't rearrange my schedule to get there. I hope that those that are lucky enough to attend represent our interests well.

). If driving, do a mapquest for the Peachtree Plaza Hotel at 210 Peachtree St. I believe the nearest Marta rail stop would be Peachtree Center (N1) on the North/South line.Both my wife and I are planning to attend and I just signed both of us up. As we live roughly 10 to 15 minutes away, and will be in town, it will be easy to check it out
