Alaska used to be very good, but we've had some real problems over the last few

I’ve noticed the same.

Maybe since they aligned with AA a few years back

Delta is by far the best in the U.S.

Unless you are me, then Delta sucks bad.

Domestic? No. International? Several.

Other things being nearly equal, I always fly Delta. Way better than other US mainline carriers

I don’t fly a lot but Delta hasn’t been any better than the others for me.

I soured on them like 20 years ago after they screwed me over and mostly avoided flying with them for years. But seems

I've been delayed longer and more often on Delta than any other airline.

As long as you have medallion status delta is king.

Kauai

How hard is it to get medallion status?

If you have a delta Amex it's just a matter of charging a lot on the card.

Qatar is 1 or 2 on pretty much every list of the world’s best airlines

I have flown a lot of airlines. SWA is the most efficient and pleasant

idacoug

7/31/21 10:48pm

But I don't know what seat I'll have. Waaaaaaaah!

Cougar Junkie

Why are you crying like a baby?

zsmooth

7/31/21 10:54pm

It's satire. People cry like babies over not knowing where their seats will be.

Cougar Junkie

7/31/21 10:58pm

I don’t fly SW cause I don’t like not having assigned seats. Is that crying like a baby?

Okay, so if you’re exaggerating, was i crying softly or something? Crying at all? Just trying to understand….

DL is the best in the States... but they are bush league compared to some foreign airlines.
