Delta Airlines

[Ziek88]

If any of you are planning a vacation and considering using Delta Airlines. Don't. They will succeed in providing you the worst travel experience in your life. After 3 friends in recent months having had problems with them I had my concerns but figured how bad could it be? I'll still get where I need to go right? Well, turns out that's a maybe.

First the flight out. It was more or less okay. First plane was delayed 1.5 hours which made me worried about my connection flight in Atlanta but that turned out okay because it was Delta and they came through with delaying the connection flight. Got where we needed to go. This was shortly after the cold snap so I suppose I understand some delays. Sure none of the other airlines had any delays/cancellations (mine was the only delta flight at my first location not cancelled) but who am I too judge. There has to be a logical reason right?

The flight home, not so much. I had been traveling with my girlfriend and lucky for me I was driving home (approx 17.5 hour drive) while she was flying home. Got her to the first airport and surprisingly Delta took off at 6 pm on time as they were supposed too. Things seemed well. She's getting ready to catch her connection flight and what do you know, it's cancelled. Well that's odd cause the weather is clear at all relevant locations. Turns out the airline forgot to check the pilots hours before leaving and the pilot was over hours so they couldn't let the plane leave since there was no pilot. Oh joy. (once again other airlines having no problems). They did actually set her up with a hotel room for the night but no meal voucher. She had to wait on standby hoping people didn't show up for 2 flights the following day. Too no surprise, she was not able to get on either plane. She eventually managed to get home by changing her flight destination (and airline taking her there) and then taking a taxi home. 24.5 hours after getting on the original plane, she made it home. This is usually about a 4 hour trip.

This comedian pretty much sums it up.
