The last time I flew Delta was a multi-leg trip and EVERY leg was late, delayed or canceled. I did not reach my destination until after I was already supposed to have left! I’ll swim or walk before flying them again. United is rude and American doesn’t fly here but at least the flights are - most of the time - on time.
Last time I flew on Delta, was late getting to Atlanta, taxied out only to return to the terminal because someone in first class broke a headrest, late getting into Seattle, my flight to Hawaii was late to Seattle as well and thus had to spend the night on the terminal floor wrapped in 4 skimpy Delta blankets. Called my hotel in Hawaii and explained the situation. When I got to Hawaii, the hotel had given my room away. Trip from hell.
