8 things to like about Delta’s new California Shuttle / UA Question
A question for UA FT members. I have flown the UA shuttle dozens of times LAX-SFO-LAX since the early 80's. I have not been on the new DL shuttle yet, as I am now based in LAS. Wondering if these new "perks" mentioned from this blog I saw will sway UA flyers to switch to DL on this route?

I remember back around 1988 DL had a hourly shuttle LAX-SFO-LAX. When DL started, UA went to every 1/2 hour, but almost every other flt was cancelled. UA won that battle back than.
Thoughts?
The reason I am asking is I will be doing a lot of business Between LAS - LAX - SFO next year.

What's sad is the amount of food one gets on DL at LAX-SFO is about the same in a snackbox on a UX F midcon..

i wonder if by any chance his liking of 8 things was influenced by this:
Delta recently invited me to give the new service a try on a Tues-Sat trip from SFO to LAX.

..Although Delta paid for my ticket,...
