It's nice to know someone else out there shares my frustration at the way some people just seriously NEVER learn that art and science you mentioned.

Over the last year I've booked 12 or 14 flights through them (not just to Portland but also to North Carolina and Atlanta) and haven't yet had issues with their service. As an aside, I was scheduled to be in Portland for several meeting one week; as luck would have it something did not agree with me and I ended up with a stomach bug that would keep me from making my appointments. I had already checked into the flight via the online portal but thought I'd give them a ring to see if they could change my flight or credit...anything really. IN the end, Delta took care of the entire flight and refunded it back to my Amex that day, no charges, fees, etc. Maybe sometimes its about who you end up talking to but I will continue to fly with them for that very reason.Brandon Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-41373943912630325402011-04-19T12:31:56.891-04:002011-04-19T12:31:56.891-04:00With Alaska Airlines, you have until midnight Paci...With Alaska Airlines, you have until midnight Pacific time on the day *after* your reservation, to cancel a purchased ticket. That's for everyone, not just the Special People. :) From when I last traveled a lot, actually, most airlines had a 24h grace period. It's been a few years, so obviously that might have changed like many other things in the airline industry!Rachelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12894304450233199345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-37567361612548352102011-04-19T11:39:30.848-04:002011-04-19T11:39:30.848-04:00Ouch.

Once on a non stop flight from KC to Cinci, my luggage ended up in Bangor, Maine- no lie. And another time for 4 days while I was in Italy. No fun. I'll pay their fee if it actually gets there. (although you can check a bag free if you pay with the Delta AmEx) Our family joke is Delta stands for "Don't Expect Luggage To Arrive"Debbie@Vintage Scout Interiorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06723124051250772403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-39699585534716935772011-04-19T10:23:20.754-04:002011-04-19T10:23:20.754-04:00Melody: I have never had a bad experience on a Del...Melody: I have never had a bad experience on a Delta flight. If paying to check a bag is what I have to do to be treated like a human being on a flight that will take off on schedule and land on schedule then so be it.<br /><br />Rufus: Amen.

I loved Northwest before them ...I love Delta too... I loved Northwest before them mostly because they are the most professional of all US domestic airlines. Unlike you, I prefer early morning flights. <br /><br />Mostly, people who have problems with airlines, especially those with the professional caliber of Delta, have problems with almost everything else in their lives because they have not learned the art and science of mutual respect. They pay rock-bottom rates and think they are entitled to be treated like the kings they ain't. They are oblivious to the humanity of the flight and ground crews, they are unempathetic to the other passengers around them and they believe humanity trumps nature. In short, they create their own customer service hell. And then they knee-jerk tweet about it like the entitled bastards they are. But enough about my pack :-)<br /><br />I'll just continue to be amazed with and appreciative of the technology and science that got us from a Wright Brothers rickety old glider with a mower engine strapped onto it to a jet that can take me from Dayton to NYC in 1 1/2 hours in fewer than 100 years. Amazing if you took a few minutes to think about it.<br /><br />And that no smoking on the video?
