I haven't had a bad experience quite like that (ugh, no fun at all!), but there's always something here or there that makes the trip not run smoothly. I always go Southwest if I'm able!Lexi Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12794860470375444915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-48737550131015356242017-11-07T18:32:24.701-06:002017-11-07T18:32:24.701-06:00We flew Deltq YEARS ago when we went to Las Vegas....We flew Deltq YEARS ago when we went to Las Vegas. We showed up for our flight home and the flight time had been changed but we were never informed! (This was before smart phones, so I didn’t have any way to check email.) The good news is that we got on the next flight (which was leaving shortly after we had arrived) and they gave us first class seats at no additional charge.

Our flight was delayed out of our home airport and we missed our connecting in Atlanta. Because of heavy rain the day before, everything was sold out and overbooked. We ended up walking to the counter where the flight was going back home that night and returned home. Never made it to the conference. They did fully refund our tickets even though we flew without even asking. The only other was a connecting flight on a return from Orlando because the airline we flew directly with going down, stopped serving the airport in the middle of our trip. We knew that was the case, but so annoying. I don't like Atlanta's airport so I we drive 2-3 hours to take direct flights instead of the airport an hour away. <br /><br />I get airsick too and so the direct flights are best. If I had to be flown around the country I'd lose it. I won't eat either just because that makes the motion sickness feel worse if it happens.

So we tend to feel like US airlines in general are pretty not great...the worst was a United flight that was so delayed we missed our connection and we were asking the help lady for any and every available option to get back, even a rental car, because we had a family reunion the next day, and she would only say the only option she could see was a flight that didn't leave till the next day. I was on the phone with my grandpa and he was looking up flights and found one that left in an hour but arrived at a different local airport than the one we were originally supposed to arrive at--two airports less than an hour from each other. We went back with the flight info my grandpa had found and she was like, "Oh, yeah, I guess that'd work, wouldn't it?" and got us boarding passes and we ran for that flight but man...when a grandpa with internet access can find a flight but the person whose job it is can't find one...something is off.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894832851934334471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-87072110294554120922017-10-25T20:06:02.776-05:002017-10-25T20:06:02.776-05:00Ugh sorry that you had such a rough time with Delt...Ugh sorry that you had such a rough time with Delta.
