I've been thinking of making an I spy quilt. Thanks for the chance to win.ReplyDelete
Your I Spy squares are so cute!ReplyDelete
I would love the ispy bundle - I seriously need two of them! Did you see Penny has a $60 SuperBuzzy thing going? I'm ready to push some buttons over there! I've been inspired by the first ispy bundle I got from you.ReplyDelete
Wow I've always wanted to make an I spy quilt!ReplyDelete
I love those ispy fabrics - what fun for a little one to look at!!! Thanks for the giveaway - there are too many out there to look at - I'm sticking with the ones I subscribe to only!ReplyDelete
What lovely prizes! If I don't win (*snork*) I think I might have to buy one of the I-spy packs - what a great idea!ReplyDelete
Eeeek! What a cute little charm pack! How can you resist especially after seeing the quilt you made with it!! Love the vintage sheets too. Thanks, Amy for the chance to win!!ReplyDelete

Ahhhh! Sign me up! I went to the shop when you first posted more I-spy packs, but couldn't find them. Did you sell out THAT quickly? Also, no such luck finding vintage sheets and I have been looking for a year now. I'm dying to make both!ReplyDelete

Wow! Two awesome giveaways!!ReplyDelete

Damn, I couldn't find a spot at the river yesterday. It was totally full of googans hogging up the place, dropping f-bombs, and snagging fish.

A googan is an offshore fishermen who constantly loses fish that the average fishermen would catch. 'Googans' tend to 'set the hook' when using circle hooks. A googan would not survive if stranded on a desert island with all the fishing tackle in the world, because a googan does not know how to tie the simplest of fishing knots.
Jim Warstler is a googan.

Pretty but not very protective
I bought this case after the iphone 5 came out. There really was not much out on the market yet. Let me start by saying the case is beautiful and the coloring on it has held up quite nicely over the last year. The unfortunate part about the case it is more for decoration and not so much functionality. After using the case for a few months and after a number of others came out I purchased a second case. When I took this case off my phone it was all scratched and dented all over. The case was never off it except to clean it up now and again. So if you are looking for just looks and not protection, this is the case for you.
Cinda Case Review
One of the reasons I bought this case was to protect the sides of my black iphone5. Lots of online reviews said the iphone finish was fragile and scratched easily. So I set out to buy a case. Imagine my surprise when this case arrived and there was almost no coverage on the top and bottom. The case is pretty but so slim I am not sure if it really protects my phone at all. The case is more of a decorative accent.
Great gift
Bought this as a gift and the recipient liked it. Good design and good case overall. Keeps phone protected.
Love it
I own two iPhones, each with a Cinda B case. I love the designs, how they feel in your hand and the barely-there look. I get many compliments on the cases. I've had my first case for a year and it's hung in there well. I rarely drop my phone, but when I have, a corner piece has chipped. As others have mentioned, if you drop your phone a lot, then this isn't the case for you.
The only case I ever need!
Not only is the design beautiful, but the ID/Credit card case is such a great idea! There are times that I only need to slip my phone in my pocket and I am good to go! My ID and one credit card fit snugly and securely. It definitely turns heads when I whip out my cards and I've given the Case Mate website to many many people since I've received mine!
While I love this cases look, I am very disappointed that the small piece that on the left side of the case, above the sound buttons has snapped off after just a few months of owning it.

Nightmare flight with Delta ..... Xmas 2009
Posted by
January 6th 2010
Richard H. Anderson
Chief Executive Officer
Delta Air Lines, Inc.
P. O. Box 20706
Atlanta, Georgia 30320-6001
Re: December 23rd 2009 flight #1297 JFK, New York to Atlanta
Dear Mr. Anderson,
I hope you had an enjoyable holiday and all the best to you for 2010. Unfortunately my wife and I had our worst flight experience with Delta airlines on our recent holiday trip to Barbados.
We purchased a flight online on June 12th 2009 for our trip to Barbados with Delta confirmation #XXXXXXX. The first leg of the flight was flight #1297 departing JFK, New York for Atlanta at 6:00am. We were then supposed to connect with Delta flight # 659 departing Atlanta for Barbados at 9:40am. We arrived at the Delta counter at JFK around 3:45am and after checking in our luggage with our customer service agent we were told to proceed through TSA security and to the Delta gate where our seats would be assigned. Upon arrival at the Delta gate we were then told that the flight had in fact been severely overbooked and that were no longer any assigned seats. After about a frustrating hour and a half of limited communication from the Delta service manager at the gate a large group of about thirty passengers including my wife and I were all informed that we would not be seated on flight #1297 from JFK to Atlanta. For us this was very frustrating as we had bought our tickets six months in advance and had tried unsuccessfully to confirm our seats over the last few months with your customer service agents. We had been told that our seats would be assigned at check-in at the JFK airport on Dec 23rd.
Close to 7:00am on Dec 23rd we were finally told by one of your customer service agents at the JFK counter that we would be refunded for the portion of our flight down to Barbados as our delay to Barbados was greater than the acceptable timeframe stipulated by airline rules. We would however be on our own to find an alternative carrier to Barbados. We were also told that our flight back up from Barbados would however remain intact with Delta. This was a most startling proposal as it was two days before Christmas and we were basically left to find a flight down to Barbados which is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Caribbean. After several frantic calls to numerous of your competitor airlines we were able to miraculously find the last two seats on a JetBlue flight #871 down to Barbados leaving that same morning at 8:30am. The two last minute JetBlue flight basically cost the same as the one-way ticket refund that we received from Delta for the cancellation of our seats to Barbados.
We informed your Delta customer service agent at the JFK gate that we would be taking the 8:30am JetBlue flight. He informed us that Delta would still take our checked-in luggage down to Barbados on their flight # 1297 as that flight was taking off. We were told by your customer service agent that we would be able to collect our luggage upon our arrival in Barbados on the JetBlue flight that was scheduled to arrive later that same day.
We arrived in Barbados later that same day on JetBlue. Unfortunately our luggage didn't arrive on the Delta flight as promised from earlier that morning. When we asked the Delta agent in Barbados about our luggage they informed us that we had to talk to JetBlue about our missing luggage even though Delta indicated they would deliver our luggage to Barbados. Of course the JetBlue agent could not understand the rational why they would be responsible for luggage we never checked in with their airline and which Delta had indicated was on a flight connecting out of JFK, New York through Atlanta to Barbados. At this point we were now stuck in Barbados with no luggage and limited effective assistance from the local Delta customer service representative. Later on that night (December 23rd) I sent Delta Online Support an email message indicating that our four pieces of luggage had been lost. I got an email response that same night indicating that we could expect a response in three to four days!!!!!!!!!!! (See the attached email)
The next morning December 24th I called Delta's 800-number and I was told that our bags were left in Atlanta and that they would be forwarded down to Barbados via Puerto Rico around 11:30pm on an American Airlines flight. I called later that same day to confirm our luggage had made the flight going through Puerto Rico and I was told by XXXXX XXXXX one of your customer service agents that our luggage was now being sent back to JFK, New York instead as Delta had no evidence that we had indeed arrived in Barbados. I explained to XXXXX XXXXX that I was indeed Mr. XXXXXXXXX and that I was currently stranded in Barbados without any clothing and toiletries. XXXXX XXXXX indicated we would now receive our luggage upon our return to New York from vacation in Barbados. In addition she also indicated that we would not get any reimbursement to purchase emergency clothing nor toiletries while stranded in Barbados. I think our call with XXXXX XXXXX was recorded so you can verify this exasperating conversation with your customer service agent who obviously didn't grasp the concept of customer service. On Dec 24th we spent about $450 on emergency clothing and toiletries as the local Barbadians had explained to us that the island celebrates Boxing Day on Dec 26th. Most stores in Barbados would therefore be closed for an extended weekend from the Thursday (Christmas Day) until the following Monday!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On Friday December 26th we finally got a surprise call from Delta that our luggage had arrived in Barbados. At that point we had not only spent several hundred dollars on emergency clothing and toiletries but we had also incurred a large international telephone call bill trying in vain to resolve and track our luggage with your customer service agents back in the USA.
The trip got worst on our way back. There was there a one hour departure delay on our connecting Delta flight #488 out of Port-of-Spain in Trinidad to JFK, New York on Jan 2nd. In addition when our luggage arrived at JFK, New York two pieces of our luggage were badly damaged. On December 3rd I filed two damaged luggage claims #XXXXXXXXX and # XXXXXXXXX. Upon filing these two claims I was told I now have to find a FedEx office to ship the damaged luggage back to your facility in Carrollton in Texas. This is just another inconvenience for us relating to this already horrible trip experience with your airline.
I apologize for the length of this letter but I think you can sense we are highly annoyed with this extremely poor level of service that we received from Delta. I did a quick scan of the internet tonight to determine whether they were any online websites we could also post a copy of this letter on so that we could expose a wider swath of your current and potential customers to our recent trip experience. We found the following websites:
• http://www.consumeraffairs.com/travel/delta.htm
• http://www.airlinecomplaints.org/
• http://www.my3cents.com/
• http://delta-airlines. pissedconsumer.com/
• http://www.complaintsboard.com/
• http://www.complaints.com/
Upon browsing these websites it appears this poor level of customer service has also been experienced by several other customers of your airline. I'll spend some time over the upcoming weekend to make sure I post this letter on these online websites and with the relevant identifying personal information redacted. Delta has been a disappointing service provider for this recent trip. You are very aware that word of mouth is vital to companies such as yours operating in an industry that is very competitive. My wife and I will also make sure that we share this Delta flight experience with as many friends, family and colleagues that we come across over the upcoming months.
At this point we are merely asking for some compensation to recoup the money we spent on emergency clothing and toiletries in Barbados and to recover the cost of the lengthy international telephone calls we made to Delta's customer service bureau in the USA from Barbados as we tracked our missing luggage. I think you'll agree that some reimbursement would be a small gesture of goodwill as your airline almost ruined our fond memories of Barbados.
If you have any additional questions I can be reached at XXX XXX XXXX.

What's your problem? You had a tropical vacation that freezing New Yorkers would envy. Just deal with the financial part simply. You purchased a few hundred dollars of essential items? List out your purchases and get your receipts. Forget about Fedexing luggage anywhere. Claim against them the cost of essential items and the value of your luggage. Tell them you can deliver it somewhere in New York if they pay your taxi otherwise you will discard the luggage and claim it against the airline (send copies of receipts). If they don't pay, take them to New York Small claims court. Forms are available on line, and the Court is user friendly.
dan gordon on 01/11/2010:
telling the ceo of an airline that your going to post a terrible review of their airline on every conceivable website you can imagine then actually list them for him, gives him pretty much no incentive to do anything for you. You wrote a nice novel but I wouldn't be sitting by the mailbox waiting for a check.
goduke on 01/12/2010:
Yeah, what James said.
Inat on 01/12/2010:
anyone who travels internationally has had to deal with luggage woes. it SUCKS! but you learn after the first time to do exactly what you did - get your toiletries once you get to your destination and pray your clothes arrive (take some extra on your carry-on). We had this happen in Rome - and our attitude was "while in Rome, do as the romans" so we bought some toiletries and some local clothes. Was kind of fun :)
Abbalino on 03/12/2010:
I've had my own nightmare with Delta in the past and swore I'd never fly with them again, but here we are again attempting to get to Florida on a Delta flight. 3 out of 4 flights have seat assignments because 1 out of 4 agents gave us was kind enough to get us seats. The 1 leg of our journey that is not assigned has me VERY nervous. I was going to check my bags with the airline, but after reading your comments, I've regained my sanity and have decided that everything will be carry on. Thanks for sharing!

Cancelled flight due to missing staff/Awful customer service
Posted by
I'm writing due to a terrible experience I had with Delta flying from JFK to Buffalo. I had a 10pm flight on a Sunday night. The flight kept being delayed until about 12 or 12:15am, each time Delta announcing it due to a reason such as the incoming flight was waiting for traffic so that it could pull up. Then they had to unboard that flight, etc. At about 12:15am they canceled the flight due a missing flight attendant. They didn't realize they were missing someone two hours ago when we were supposed to leave? While I do understand things happen, I don't understand why there was no one there as backup or why the flight wasn't cancelled sooner rather than delayed for two hours only to cancel it anyway. If it had been cancelled sooner, there was a flight to Rochester I would have tried to go on earlier that night.
Once the flight was cancelled and we were told to go to the counter to rebook a flight, I was told by the person assisting me that the soonest direct flight wasn't until two days later, and the soonest flight at all would not get me in until 3pm the next day. This was not even an option for me because Monday was my first day of Dental school in Buffalo, which started at 8:30am. He told me that Jetblue did have a flight to Buffalo that would get in at 8am, but if I wanted I could take what Delta had until I knew if the seat with Jetblue was available. He told me that all I would have to do to be refunded was call Delta and I would be reimbursed for my ticket if I chose to fly with Jetblue instead.
I ended up booking the morning flight with Jetblue even though it costed me close to $200 so I could get to school on time. I went to my first day of class on less than two hours of sleep since Delta cancelled the flight so late and then the hotel they set me up in for the night (which didn't even have hot water) took over an hour to get to by the shuttle system. I had to be back to the airport around 4am told fly home. When I called Delta to cancel and confirm that I would be reimbursed, the woman I spoke with said no. I did not have time to speak with her at the time, so I called back a couple of days later to inquire as to how to get reimbursed. I was told that they could not reimburse me by phone because the airport issued me a paper ticket rather than an e-ticket so I would have to go to the airport to reimbursed. I asked to speak with a supervisor and when I was finally put on the phone with her, she told me the same thing, saying I could either mail my tickets in or bring them to the airport to be reimbursed. She seemed to think that going in was the better option and I did too, being I didn't trust Delta to get my refund to me.
A few days later, I drove a half-hour to the Buffalo-Niagara Airport with my ticket as instructed to request my refund. When I approached the person at the ticket booth for Delta, he looked completely confused about how to issue me a refund and called Delta for support. After waiting for about 45 minutes with the person at the desk, he finally tells me that he can't issue me a refund there and would have to mail my ticket to Atlanta for the request. He said if I didn't hear anything about my refund in two weeks to give Delta a call. There was some sort of conflict because I had bought the ticket over Expedia and flown United Airlines to JFK, so I only needed to be reimbursed for the return portion of the flight. However, the supervisor I had spoken with was completely aware of that situation and if that was in issue with me not being reimbursed at the airport, she should have never told me to waste my time going there! I don't understand why there is such a lack of communication that I would have a supervisor direct me to go to the airport and waste two hours of my time, only for nothing to be resolved.
In addition, the service I received from the Delta representative at the airport was completely unprofessional. While he was on hold with someone trying to figure out how to reimburse me, and wanted to speak with one of his coworkers about an unrelated manner and asked me to hold the phone for him so he could go in the back. This is no way to act with a customer.
A few days later, I called Delta to complain about everything Iâve gone through and was told I had to email Delta and attach a copy of my Jetblue ticket. When I went to the website to do so, I saw there was nowhere I could attach anything so I called back. A different representative then told me I could not put on an attachment despite the previous representative telling me to do so, and that she thought I was wasting my time because she said she doubted Delta would reimburse me. She offered me a $100 voucher towards a future flight. I took it for the time being but they can have it back. I do not want a voucher for Delta because I never plan to fly Delta again!
I called the refunds department 2 weeks after I went in to the airport to find out the status of my refund. A rude woman told me it takes 7-10 business days to receive it. Apparently she couldn't count because it had been 11 business days. I figured I'd give it a couple more days though just incase. I called back a week later and there was nothing known about my refund still. Basically they lost my refund request. She told me I shouldn't have brought it to the airport because they have so much traffic going through there and it's more likely to be lost. Well if I hadn't been instructed by a supervisor to do so I wouldn't have!
Since then, I've been told to fax in my refund receipts I got from the airport. I also called because I didn't want someone telling me again that it was lost. They have told me it will be another 7-10 business days before I am refunded. This is just absurd. They're pretty much holding my money hostage that isn't even theirs because they never provided the service they were supposed to have provided. It should not take this much time and effort to get refunded!
Because of this cancellation, I wasted a lot of time and money trying to resolve the situation. The only compensation I received for this inconvenience was a night at a hotel that didn't even have hot water, and a voucher for a meal that I couldn't use because I flew out of the Jetblue terminal. In order to get home by the time I needed to be there, I had to pay $185 out of pocket to fly Jetblue as well an extra day of parking at the Buffalo airport. Then there were also the hours on the phone and at the terminal. As a student in a doctoral program, time is very precious to me right now, and I don't have time to waste. After all the hassle they've put me through, I'm trying to get back both my refund as well as reimbursement for my ticket with Jetblue and extra day of parking. I wrote an email to Delta five days ago and still have not gotten a response, as well as filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. I will NEVER fly Delta again. They take your money and put you through hell trying to get it back.

What was the value of the flight worth? I see that flight prices start at $49 so you might have come out ahead with the $100 voucher. Also, if this is a United ticket, it might take Delta a long time to process the refund. As for getting reimbursed for the Jetblue flight and the extra day of parking, don't hold your breath on that one. Airline never cover those costs.
jimworcs on 09/09/2009:
Write a complaint to the DOT. You need to put this complaint in strict chronological order, as it is a big chaotic to read. However, as the delay was entirely Delta's fault you are entitled to compensation and they are just giving you the run around. I would stop dealing with Delta and start going via the DOT. Delta will suddenly start co-operating. Delta are by far the worst for customer service. They are arrogant, huge and don't care.
tennis1986 on 09/11/2009:
Thanks for the advice. Ben There- no I did not come out ahead because even though my original ticket was about the price of the $100 voucher they gave me, I still had to spend almost $200 to take Jetblue home. Even so, I'm not ever going to use this voucher because I refuse to fly with such an awful company again.
Jimworcs- If I go to DOT should I try to pursue not only that I get my refund (which supposedly I should get by the end of next week, but I'm not holding my breath on that one), but that I'm also compensated for further expenses (taking a different airline home, parking, etc)? I don't want to waste anymore of my time, but it should not take over a month to get a refund, and it's ridiculous that every person I talk to at Delta tells me something different, making it take so much time and effort just to get a simple refund for a cancelled flight. I feel like they owe me for all the loops they've put me through, even if it's not standard practice. But if there is no way it will ever happen, even if I go to DOT, then I'll just worry about the refund.
Ben There on 09/11/2009:
Talking to the DOT will not assist you in getting your Jetblue and parking expenses paid. I am not suggesting that you don't file a complaint with them, but Delta gave you a hotel and booked you on a flight the next day which is where their responsibility ended. You made the decision to purchase a Jetblue ticket (an airline that no other airlines work with), and if airlines started paying for an extra day of parking, babysitting, pet boarding, DVD rental, etc..., then tickets would cost a whole lot more than $100. Showing up late is just a risk we all take when traveling and we should be prepared to take on some unexpected expenses if we can't make it home on time. The airline's responsibility only goes so far.
tennis1986 on 09/11/2009:
Maybe Delta's responsibility does not go beyond giving me a place to sleep and getting me home, but they do have a responsibility to give me a refund in a timely manner without putting me through a million loops and turns trying to get it. They didn't provide the service, therefore it's not their money to keep. I have literally spent hours and hours trying to get my refund. Delta needs to take responsibility for making this such a difficult process.
Ben There on 09/11/2009:
I agree that the refund should be in a timely manner. That said, many companies including airlines say that refunds can take up to a month, 4-6 weeks, two billing periods, etc... The first thing everyone says is "it only takes them a second to take my money"... Timely is relative...

Worse Customer Service Ever!

Upset Buddy
BUFFALO, NEW YORK -- On 12/25/08 I was given a buddy pass by a friend to go to Buffalo, NY and surprise my ten year old son for Christmas, who is currently living with his father. Getting there was not bad at all. I arrived a little late, but everything was fine. Now I have traveled with Delta airline plenty of times and preferred Delta over the rest. This was the first and last time flying with a buddy pass. Now I am aware of the procedure when using a buddy pass. If the flight is full, you would have to wait on the next. Fine, no problem! My flight to come home was a deal breaker. I understood during the Holiday season that it was possible that I would not be able to make it home in a timely manner.
As I set and waited for the first flight at four in the morning from Buffalo NY to Atlanta GA, I watched as the ticket guy "Roberto" got into a heated argument with an older guy. Not sure what was said but you could see that the words back and forth were not friendly. After a while I decided to go up to the counter and ask Roberto if he had an idea if I would be able to make this flight or not. He replied " You will know if I call your name!" Not once looking up at me. I thought that was rude but hey it was the holidays and everything was hectic. So I went back to my seat and waited. After everyone had boarded the plane Roberto gave me a seat 7a and closed the door. Now the plane was due to take off at 6:30am. He handed me my seat at 6:27am. I walked down the ramp and was seated in 8f because someone was already sitting in 7a, and the stewardess advised me to sit anywhere a seat was available.
After five minutes of being seated a stewardess came back and asked who was supposed to be seated in 7a. I told her that I was. She asked if I had a "Rep pass?" Not knowing what that was I told her that I didn't know. She turned around and walked away...6:35am now! Next thing you know Roberto is walking down the aisle. He stopped and looked at me and said "You need to get up right now!" I said "Why you just gave me this seat"? He said very nasty "It doesn't matter you need to get up and get off the plane now!" Now everyone on the plane is looking at me like I was some kind of terrorist. I was really embarrassed. Without another word I got up and exited the plane. I walked threw the tunnel and waited at the counter.
A couple of seconds later Roberto exited the tunnel. Not knowing exactly what had just happened I questioned him. I said "What happened why was I kicked off and you gave me that seat?" He stated in a disrespectful tone "Go and sit down and I will be with you later!" I said "You don't have to be nasty you gave me that seat!" He stated " First of all that wasn't your seat, that seat belonged to a paying customer!" Again everyone seated waiting for the next flight was listening to what was going on. I said " I understand that but you acted as if I forced myself onto the plane, when you are the one who gave me a seat, I just want to know what going on!" He said really loud " You never had a seat that was the other ladies seat. She is a paying customer and you are basically trying to fly for free, so you don't have a seat!" I said "It doesn't matter if I'm a paying customer or not you don't have to speak to me that way." He then said " If your going to sit there and argue with me you won't be flying at all!" At that point I decided not to continue going back and forth with him. It was either that or to go to jail in Buffalo and be stuck there for a while. After contacting my fiance to let him know what had just happened as I cried my eyes out from the embarrassment, he advise me to get the guys name and his supervisors name and number. I walked over and asked him for his name he refused to give me his last name and told me his supervisors name was Chuck. He advised me that Chuck was downstairs back out at the counter pass security. Without another word I walked downstairs and met Chuck.
Chuck was very busy with a line that you wouldn't believe. I waited or him to get a quick moment. While I waited I heard Chuck calling back up stairs to Roberto and was very upset with him for sending customers back to him to reschedule their missed flights. I watched as they argued back and forth. Soon Chuck got the opportunity to talk to me. I explained the situation to him. I was informed that Roberto had made a mistake. Once a paying customer seat was giving away to a standby the paying customer had missed their flight and needed to rescheduled. So those customers he let on the plane after me was not supposed to board the plane. The fact that I was flying with a buddy pass was no ones business. He violated the confidentiality policy of Delta Airlines by shouting out this information. What was really odd was Chucks response. He said that that's the way Roberto was and that he gets complaints a lot about his customer service skills. Now if that is the case, why is Roberto still employed with Delta? I think that Roberto should be fired and should not work in customer service anywhere. I was given another stand by ticket and was sent back up to where Roberto was. As I approached a seat and I heard Roberto telling another ticket person about our argument and how he started to tell me off. I think again that his actions were completely unprofessional and I will see to it that he never does this to a customer again. Paying or not! No one deserved to be treated like this. After spending a total of 15 hours in the airport on 12/30/2008 after the last plane left without me. I called my girlfriend to pick me up and I went back to her house, got on-line and bought a one way ticket home to Texas. Of course I didn't purchase the ticket threw Delta. I flew Air Tran, and they have just gained a new customer. I see why they were voted #1 in customer service. They were very pleasant!

Flying on a buddy pass during the second busiest time of the year... what were you thinking? Employees have a very hard time flying non revenue, much less buddy passes.
I don't doubt the gate agent treated you roughly but as a pass rider you need to bite your lip - that complaint could easily get your friends pass and flight privileges revoked.
Nohandle on 01/02/2009:
Someone tell me what a Buddy Pass is. I'm guessing it is a pass given to employees of an airline to give to family or friends. I've just not heard that expression.
Anonymous on 01/02/2009:
Nohandle. Buddy Passes are issued to employees (depending on airline, 8-12 passes a year) You are free to give them to friends/family. Buddy pass riders simply pay the applicable taxes for the segment (cheap). The friend flies "non rev" (non revenue) and are the last to be given seat assignments, as they are flying free. Specific conduct, attire are strictly enforced, as they are flying as a guest of the employee and airline. You have zero rights as a buddy pass pax, thus complaining can get the employee in trouble.
My airline is very strict with non revenue conduct and will revoke a employees privileges - thus employees carefully brief friends as to conduct.
Nohandle on 01/02/2009:
Thanks VF. I was aware airline employees, as one of their benefits, were given passes since I had a former employee whose husband was employed by one. I didn't know they were free to pass them on to family and friends. As far as the attire required, yes I was told that as well by the employee. At that time it was strictly business attire and you were bumped if a revenue customer came along, sometimes at the last moment.
Anonymous on 01/02/2009:
Great info, VF.
dan gordon on 01/02/2009:
a non revenue fare is the absolute lowest priority of any standby passenger, and trying to use it at Xmas is pretty bad advice. While a nice gesture the chances of finding an empty seat at the holidays seems like a remote possibility. With all the ice and snow storms many revenue pax would certainly have priority making your chances of using it very iffy. These are standard airline rules not just Delta.
Anonymous on 01/02/2009:
Nohandle, if you are discussing buddy passes on Evercom phone lines, I believe it takes on a little different meaning.
LauraW on 01/02/2009:
No one has yet addressed the primary focus of the complaint, which is the rudeness of the Delta employee, Roberto. The complainant is very understanding of the holiday rush. It shouldn't matter how one obtained a ticket, such rudeness is unacceptable. Apparently Roberto did not follow the guidelines set down by his employer. Unfortunately, most commentors on this site seem to accept and even condone rudeness on the part of those paid to deal with the public.
Ben There on 01/03/2009:
Any company as large as Delta is going to have a few bad apples, and some really good apples that just have bad days. I have seen gate agents get more abuse from passengers than any other employees at the airline, because people blame take out all kinds of frustration at them. While Roberto's attitude sounds horrible, we are only hearing one side of the story... I think the OP was very unaware of the aspects of flying nonrev which is shown by her flying on the holidays with that type of ticket and it seems she did not know that she could be pulled off of a plane and not get on another one till the next date. She even still uses the word stewardess...
Privelege NOT!!! on 08/28/2010:
Wow!!! It is 2010 and I see that customer service skills at Delta has not improved. I recently traveled with my family or need I say attempted to travel on buddy passes. Service to those traveling on these passes are beyond poor. It was our first and certainly our last experience. Buddy passes are not a privilege; especially if you are being treated as third class citizens. I was very cognitive of keeping my complaints to myself to prevent any negative backlash to the employee. In response to those Delta employees who responded above, is this kind of treatment acceptable had it been someone in your family or friend? If you consider traveling, do not purchase these tickets. They are not as discounted as everyone thinks; they are NOT FREE. My family and I wound up spending more money on these passes than we would have had we paid for regular tickets. Word of advice, if you want to have a hastle free trip, try to find discounted tickets through some other airline. The experience that Delta left behind will prevent my family and I from ever flying on this airline again.

Rude, Abusive & Downright Lies
Posted by
Below is an excerpt from a letter I intend to mail to Delta Airlines tomorrow.
Upon our arrival in Miami we had to check in with Delta and we noticed the purposeful slow response of the ticket agents. It seemed like they didn't care if people made their flight our not, but more interested on the daily gossip. Oh well, every company has those mindless, useless people that companies can't seem to get rid of. We obtained our boarding passes and proceeded to fly to Atlanta. After our layover in Atlanta we boarded the plane to Wichita. Luckily I was seated at the very back of the plane and got to experience the wonderful handling of everyone's bags onto the plane. Front of the suitcase down to the ramp and no less thrown on. Hey, but I did see my bags get on the plane & for that I was happy.
Then, to my dismay, I saw the conveyer reverse and ALL of the passengers baggage including mine being emptied from the cargo hold, unceremoniously dumped onto the concrete face first & all the bags tossed, or should I say thrown, onto the existing pile on the concrete with my bags being on the bottom. They were not handled with the slightest ease or care, but extremely rough and abnormally abusive. (I have seen other bags being loaded into cargo before & I have never seen this kind of treatment to baggage). When I realized that our bags were NOT going to be returned to our plane I leapt from my seat & went to the front of the plane to discuss this with the stewardess. She instructed me to return to my seat and she would speak to the pilot.
About the time that it took me to walk from the front to the very rear of the plane & buckle up, the pilot announced overhead that he was sorry for the delay (45 minutes) but due to last minute paperwork and catering we were now ready to depart. Shortly after that announcement the stewardess came back to me and stated the pilot was sorry about my baggage but that I was more than welcome to leave the plane.
Now I'm steamed. Not only was I lied to, but the entire plane, whose bags got manhandled onto the concrete were lied to and they didn't even know it yet. If our bags were unloaded due to a weight issue and safety factor just tell me the truth. Don't treat me like I'm a 6 year old who can't handle the real world. When you go to the Doctor or your Attorney you expect the truth out of those professionals, right? Why should I not expect the truth out of a pilot? I could live without my bags for a couple of days to save my life.
So we arrive in Wichita and the Pilot announces we can all pick up our bags at the baggage claim area. I started to laugh. Oh goody, another lie. The stewardess tries to apologize to me one more time as I deplane stating to me to talk to an agent. What agent? There's not an agent in site! Thank god there were a few other smart passengers on that flight. The minute they saw me go up to the stewardess before take off, they knew something was wrong & immediately contacted security upon arrival at the Wichita terminal and told security to get Delta personnel down to the counter. That took 30 minutes for a cargo technician to arrive and take care of our descriptions and instructions for delivery of our baggage upon arrival to Wichita. Wow, 14 rows of passengers to deal with. Thank goodness I was at the front of the line and only wasted an hour of my sleep. (Flight landed at 10:00 - I finally left the airport at 11:15). Some of these poor people I'm sure did not get a good nights sleep due to leaving the airport well past midnight.
Now wait, this gets even better. My husband requested he be contacted by phone to make the necessary arrangements for delivery of our luggage the following day due to us both having to work and not being home. We did not want our $8,000.00 scuba equipment dumped on the porch to be stolen not to mention our other bags. Did he get a call? We'll of course he did. When the delivery person was on our porch and "oh too bad, but I'm here and I can't put it back on the delivery van". My husband did not receive a phone call prior to delivery as instructed because our baggage arrived damaged! And when my husband called to make a claim, Delta stated he had to bring the bag in for Delta to inspect as to whether or not it could be fixed or repaired.
This is a brand new $300.00 suitcase! And the portion that was ripped totally off from the luggage held my brand new regulator and octopus along with my transmitter that is connected to that equipment that regulates whether or not I have air. A safety feature I rely on! Now, I can't trust my equipment due to your companies lies and total disregard for others property.
Seems to me that Delta may not only be purchasing a new bag for me, but after I have the regulator, octopus and transmitter tested and if any damage is detected Delta will be buying me a $500.00 regulator, a $300.00 octopus and a $1,000.00 transmitter-computer. Wow, that's a $2,100.00 bill just for being lied to, being personally mistreated, not to mention my baggage ripped to shreds and being just plain outright rude!
What a way to end what was a wonderful vacation. Now, all the relaxation and stress relieving properties of a wonderful vacation have been thrown three sheets to the wind. My back, shoulders and neck are in knots due to being so rudely mistreated for two days in a row and with such a lackadaisical attitude! I'd like to thank you for adding several more errands to my list that should not be there, thanks to the piss-poor way your company conducts business.
You know, after all this occurred and I got on the internet to obtain your address, I ran across several websites regarding complaints against Delta. Your company is fast gaining a bad reputation. Between the people you have already mistreated and whom they have spoken to regarding your treatment of them, the passengers of the plane and I that just landed whom I'm sure will spread the word regarding your despicable operations, not only have you lost the customers who have traveled with you but you have lost possible travelers who won't touch your airline with a ten foot pole due to what they have heard from word of mouth.
I feel very sorry for the way you run your company. I'll be flying with American, Continental or United from now on and if the only possible way I can reach my destination is by Delta, I won't be going.
An extremely unhappy passenger,

I chuckle at the tossing around of the words 'lie', lied', etc. The first one was used after the flight attendant told you to take your seat and she'd talk to the pilot. Was that a lie? Do you know for certain she didn't talk to the pilot? And as far as the 'windfall' you expect from the airline--read the fine print on the back of the ticket. Your list of equipment 'damaged' doesn't impress anyone. Hey--%$it happens! Take a chill pill. You enjoyed your vacation, didn't you?

Funny, I had a similar experience with Delta in Atlanta a few years ago. All airlines have a max. they will pay for lost or damaged luggage (I believe it is about $500.00 per bag)I would recommend that in the future if you travel with expensive items is to take out the additional insurance to cover any damage. Also never ever spend a lot of money on luggage because one of the few things you can guarantee in life is that some putz will tear it up!! Good Luck
familytravel on 07/06/2006:
So, how did the flight attendant lie? SOMETIMES AIRLINES DELAY YOUR BAGS. GET USED TO IT, IT HAPPENS. And if your precious equipment was so expensive and dear to you, then why the HECK did you put it in checked? If it's so important to you either put it in a carry-on or have it shipped to your home by a professional shipping company. Airlines are changing, and you need to get used to it NOW.

This is why my family prefers road trips. Soooooo much more can go wrong when you fly these days, no matter what airline you take or how much you've spent.

Luggage was Demolished
Posted by
ATLANTA, GEORGIA -- We took a trip to Cancun. We flew from Louisville to Cincy then to Cancun no problem.. on the flights back we flew Cancun to Atlanta and Atlanta to Louisville.
At Atlanta (there were six of us on this trip-3 couples) everyone checked their bags at customs no problem. One of the girls that I was with had to tell the people who checked our bags to put her luggage on the belt 3 times!! When he finally did he laughed and heaved her bag 2 feet in the air!
Once we got to Louisville we waited and waited for her bag to come through and it nevecr did- we heard a man say that all the bags that were coming were already here... It was about 1130 and night and she was furious!
We went to the desk and she didn't even have to tell them her name- they KNEW who she was because they had already checked the name of the luggage they had with them... when they said her name they brought her a piece of luggage that RESEMBLED hers but was completely demolished... I mean- metal reinforcements sticking out of the luggage, clothes hanging out, flip flops missing, pockets completely dangling from the bag. The only thing that kept her bag together was a Rainbow strap to help her identify her bag on the belt.
She bought a Chi straightener for like $100... crushed... mangled... She bought 2 new bikinis from Victoria's Secret (you KNOW how much they were...) her fave had the strap completely removed from the part that goes over the breast and the underwire was showing... I mean... the luggage was half the size as it was when she checked it in... we have pictures... tons of them
All Delta could say was sorry... you can list 8 things that were in the bag and we'll have you money to you within 7-8 day... they did bring her a Swiss Army piece of luggage which was pretty nice... but she had nearly $1200 worth of work clothes, jewelry and shoes in there... Its only been a couple of days so we don't know how its going to turn out...
Louisville Airport kept saying they received the luggage like that- they didn't do it, that's how it came to them... the luggage literally looked like it had been run ovecr and dragged down the runway...

That sucks! I'm flying Delta on July 10th. More than likely it happened in Atlanta. It probably fell off a baggage cart and was run over and dragged. and not wanting to get in trouble the staff in Atlanta loaded the bag to be dealt within Louisville. I hope everything works out for your friend.
Ben There on 06/14/2010:
This can happen at any airline - with tens of thousands of bags moving around on belts and carts every hour, some are going to fall off. I hope Delta compensates fairly.
I suggest that people who travel a lot invest in a durable bag like a Pathfinder or Tumi. They cost a whole lot more than cheapo Samsonites or American Touristers, but they are made of much stronger materials and can withstand a lot more pressure before ripping or opening up. The handles and wheels also last a lot longer.

Delta Steals Young Man's Money
Posted by
ATLANTA GEOTGIA -- The following letter that I sent, complaining to Delta, will explain our problem
Dear Mr. Richard Hirst, Legal Vice-President with Delta,
Please pardon my having to contact you directly, but no one else at Delta (at least so far) has gotten back to my issue.
We have a young Scottish boy who is the Delta ticket holder, ticket # 0062180808133) who came to visit our church (he's 19 years old and will soon be the new choir director at our church ) and when he came into the U.S., the Immigration Dept. only allowed him 30 days to visit, and yet his pre-paid return ticket was for 90 days later. This naturally necessitated his having to change his ticket. The travel agent in London changed his departure date and charged him $561.00 which obviously being young he simply didn't have this extra money, so I got the money together for him, and subsequently when the time for his departure came, we took him to the Knoxville, TN airport. He arrived at the air port at 4:20 on 3/24/2014 and went to check in. While he was in-line at 4:300, someone of your staff came to him and said that he would have to take another flight as that one was leaving early. We later found out that what they had really done was to insinuate that he had something that they would only call "questionable in his pocket without saying exactly what it was that hw had in his pocket ( I would respectfully remind you: WITHOUT STATING EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS THAT HE WAS ALLEGED TO HAVE IN HIS POCKET). Of course, it turned out to only be some American coins that he had forgotten were in his pocket.
If you yourself were to see this fine young man then you would know (common sense would tell you) that this is not the sort of person who would intentionally carry something "questionable" on a plane. It is obvious to anyone who should meet Jamie that he is a very clean-cut, honorable young lad.
So being the very polite and humble young man that he is, he simply "Thanked" them, thinking that they would put him on a later flight (remember, he was told nothing except that he would have to take a later flight). He then called me when I was in-route to my home in Knoxville, TN, and he told me what happened. Now, today when we contacted the travel agent in London to book his alternative flight they tell the poor boy (I mean "poor" literally as in orphan) that he may have to pay for a new ticket. I called the British Embassy and told them what happened, and they suggested that I contact you folks directly, for as of 3/26/2014 his thirty day stay approval by customs is cancelled, and he will be in violation of U.S. law. I hope you folks still have a heart and can do something to help this young man get home, after all he not only bought a ticket but paid an $561.00 extension as well. He simply has no money with which to purchase another expensive ticket.
Anyway, it was very arbitrary and clearly unfair in the way that your personnel handled this matter at the airport. I mean, if he truly had something "questionable" in his pocket, then why it was not specified in order to be documented as to exactly what it was that he had. They simply told the travel agent that it was "questionable," whatever that might mean. If he did indeed have some thing "questionable" then why was he not arrested and detained. I should think something really "questionable" would be important enough ---- especially if you are going to take some one's money for a ticket then deny him the right to that ticket --- that you would have to document for legal purposes exactly what it was that he had that should cause you to deny his constitutional rights. I think any reasonable person would agree with this as being truly a mistake on Delta's part. The way to correct that mistake and end this matter is to give him the ticket which he has legally paid for. I hope that you who are reading this email can see the mistake that has been made here and will rectify the situation without delay. Again, this matter has forced him to violate U.S. Immigration law. Please, he needs his ticket immediately so that he can get back home to Scotland.
Also, Delta has sent his bag, s which were already loaded, to Detroit
I just hope Delta will do the tight thing here so that this matter can be resolved and this fine young minister can get home, as well as preventing us from pursuing other, more constitutionally legal courses of action.
Thank you,
David Edwards

Vindictive Delta Reps
Posted by
ATLANTA, GEORGIA -- This complaint was met with the typical Bureaucratic talk around and no reconciliation whatsoever despite several emails back and forth with Delta's customer service department. I was basically told that they have the right to not allow anyone from boarding their planes for any reason. That is pretty sad after having to pay thousands of dollars for their services and then be denied access for the services you paid for because one of their employees has a problem with you. This is the complaint I submitted:
My flight experience from AUH to PIT on 25 July 2013. First of all, I was not able to obtain a boarding pass for my Paris to PIT flight even my bags were checked all the way from AUH to PIT. This was a huge inconvenience, but not the reason for my complaint. After departing AUH and my layover in AMS I arrived to Paris and after walking around the airport terminals for a while I finally found the proper check in counter for my flight to PIT. The First Delta Representative I encountered was extremely rude. I had just completed about 15 hours of travel and on my 2nd layover and was very tired. I told him that finding the right ticket counter had been very difficult; he replied that it wasn't his problem. This upset me as I imagine it would anyone under normal circumstances, let alone after traveling for so long and not having enough sleep.
After his rude and discourteous response, I proceeded to the counter to complete my check in so I could get my boarding pass and complete my long journey home. When the boarding pass was being handed to me, a Delta supervisor came over and said I had not completed the security screening and needed to go back in the check in line. I asked him if he could just complete the security questions there as I had already finish checking in and was about to receive me boarding pass. I also told him about the rude Delta Rep I had encountered and the fact he did not ask me any questions and allowed me to walk on to the counter. He argued with me and made me go back to the line. I went back and they asked me if I had packed my own bags, etc (This was quite pointless as I had already checked my bags in AUH all the way to PIT and only had my carry on with me at the time). The supervisor and Delta Rep also kept asking me about my association with the US Military and information pertaining to my job. I answered the questions regarding security but not about my association with the US military or my job as these should not have any bearing for me to fly.
After the questioning I was then escorted back to the counter to get my boarding pass which now bore the dreaded SSSS on it. They had labeled me as a security risk and I was treated as a criminal/terrorist the rest of the time I was in France. They kept asking if I was US military and what my job was at each point I was stopped to be checked. I felt like I was being targeted because of my association with the US military.They also searched my carry on and frisked me at every possible point on the way to the plane. I was journeying home for my sons 2nd birthday party and to attend a family Reunion that weekend as I work overseas in support of the military. I subsequently missed my sons birthday party as I was denied boarding on my scheduled flight even after being thoroughly searched as the Captain had been told I was a security risk and told them not to let me board the plane.
They waited till the plane was boarding to deny me access and embarrassed me in front of the other passengers. After the flight departed I was told I had to pay an additional $1666.13 USD in order to fly on the next days flight and if I didn't pay they would cancel my returning flights as well. I also had to purchase a hotel room for the night. This is outrageous. Then upon finally arriving to PIT, after my sons birthday party, my checked baggage just happened to get 'lost'. It was lost until the day I left PIT and continued on my journey to Indonesia, the Philippines and then back to Abu Dhabi. It was obvious that after my experience with the Delta Reps in Paris that my luggage was lost in spite. Its too much of a coincidence to have not been on purpose. I have been traveling for years. I have visited over 50 countries and flown several airlines and this is by far the worst experience I have ever encountered.
I know that I will be made out to be the bad guy from the workers there in Paris as I was alone and have no witnesses on my behalf, but I know I was treated incredibly unfairly and targeted because of my association with the US military. I was subject to less than hospitable treatment and suffered undue stress as well as undue expenses. Most importantly I missed out on a day with my family and my son's 2nd birthday party. I only get to see my family once every 6 months for a couple of weeks and each day is very precious.

"I told him that finding the right ticket counter had been very difficult"
After dealing with many customers on a daily basis, what was the agent supposed to say to your above statement?
Don't every be rude to airline employees. As you now "suspect" they can make your experience a living hell. I worked for an airline for 8 years and I can clearly admit, "Do not give an airport airline employee a hard time!" They can use your original comment about being hard to find them to put you on the SSSS list on a flight that's oversold and need either volunteers or "involuntary" denied passengers.
Soaring Consumer on 11/09/2013:
File a complaint with the DOT:
You may also qualify for denied boarding compensation under EU 261. Here is the complaint form:
Paul on 11/09/2013:
I don't understand what "reconciliation" you feel you are entitled to. Their reply makes sense, based on the details that you provided.
FoDaddy19 on 11/11/2013:
" I answered the questions regarding security but not about my association with the US military or my job as these should not have any bearing for me to fly. "
Perhaps they thought that your job that involved the military was relevant to security. Would it have been that big of a deal to let them know what you do with the military? By not answering their questions or being evasive, then I could see where that would give then reason to be apprehensive. You don't have the same rights when it comes to security or air travel in general in Abu Dhabi as you do in the U.S.

Horrible International Travel Experience With Delta
Posted by
FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA -- Left following feedback three times on Delta.com site, no response from them. Started my travel from US to India via Europe, with wife and 2 very young kids. All papers were checked by Delta staff at US airport, no issues. In Europe, they didn't let us board the connecting flight, saying there is an issue with paper work. We were stuck for a day, and had to rush to different offices in an unknown country. Sad thing is no from Delta has time to respond to the 3 times feedback over last 3 weeks, so not sure why they have any feedback mechanism to begin with.
Confirmation# : HG6ZUZ
I hope my feedback here is viewed in right perspective. We started our trip from Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA to Delhi, India via Amsterdam. Each one of us has American Passport, and were carrying OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) card. It was our understanding that it was all we needed to travel to India. Our travel documents were fully verified by the Delta Staff at Fort Lauderdale airport (American Passport and OCI card for each of us). We took the fight to Atlanta, and then a connecting flight to Amsterdam. After the security check at Amsterdam airport, we were denied to board the plane and were sent to KLM Transfer desk. The gentlemen at the transfer desk told us the kids need to get Indian Visa from the local Indian Embassy in Amsterdam. We were completely shocked as the documents were fully checked at the start of our journey by Delta staff at Fort Lauderdale Airport. Anyhow, we had no choice, so we rushed to the Indian Embassy, got the Visa done and rushed back to the airport. You can imagine the state of a person traveling with his family with two kids, stuck in middle of unknown place trying to get whatever was instructed. Anyhow, after reaching back to Amsterdam airport, the KLM staff told us that the next day's only KLM flight to Delhi was fully booked. We were then sent to Paris, where we had to spend the night since our connecting flight to Delhi was next day (04-Jul-2013).
All of this nightmare for us could have avoided if we were stopped at the starting airport (Fort Lauderdale) only, which is where we live. Going into an unknown country, and running from one place to the other with the family is an unforgettable experience. I lost my one day of work, and my family lost one day of vacation, not to mention the trauma that kids had to go through.
I also wanted to mention a point for Delta staff training. The immigration officer at Delhi airport told us that they the OCI card for each one of us was enough to get the entry to India even If the so called sticker wasn't available.
To add to the adventure, none of our 7 checked-in bags arrived to the final destination (Delhi) with us, though we were told at Paris airport that they will be on the same flight AF 226. So here I am waiting with my family inside the airport, and then the relatives waiting outside the airport.
But the saddest thing is that it has been three weeks and I have left feedback at Delta.com three times with no response from them.

I think it's the traveler's responsibility to make sure that all necessary passports, visas, and ID cards are obtained before traveling.
I can't imagine being an employee at Ft. Lauderdale and having to know what all the requirements are for ALL flights headed into Amsterdam. Surely there were passengers staying in Amsterdam, and others traveling on to Germany, France, Russia, and other European destinations, as well as Asian destinations such as New Delhi.
I'd think that the Ft. Lauderdale responsibility was that you were able to leave the US and land in Amsterdam.

I am sorry but it is your responsibility to make sure you have all the proper documents prior to travel.

Had To Rant
Posted by
ATLANTA, GEORGIA -- So, Delta Airlines… in an email, you've asked me for my thoughts about my recent travel experience with you. Here they are…
I spent more than $8,000 in airfare for travel to Spain for 4 people beginning August 4, 2012. We paid an additional $1,800 in extra baggage fees, EACH WAY for our video & photo equipment. Not only were we bumped from this flight, but two pieces of luggage did not arrive in OKC when we finally got there. The four of us missed international connections due to Delta flight delays. Our outbound trip that was supposed to take 16 hours turned into 28 hours of travel.
We had our return flight reservations cancelled by Delta because we missed our flight due to a late Air France connection -- again caused by Delta's late arrival time. I spent $100+ dollars in international rate phone calls trying to get my Delta flights re-booked -- with 90% of the time waiting on hold. I was compelled to expend an additional $650 in train travel expenses in order to make a business appointment when Delta would not provide alternate flight arrangements with other airlines.
When I most needed someone who would give a damn, all you gave me was on-hold muzak and "I'm sorry, we can't do that..."
It's not right to treat consumers this way. Yet you do it daily to hundreds, if not thousands of travelers. The unspoken brand message I received from Delta during this ordeal was "f*ck you; we don't care."
I have traveled by air for more than 40 years. I'm old enough to remember (before deregulation) when flying was a great way to travel. This is by far the worst experience and poorest service I have ever experienced from ANY company. I plan to devote much time and effort toward communicating via Facebook, Internet travel sites, forums and other mass media about the horrible experience I had with Delta Airlines and Expedia. I am a 30-year veteran of advertising agencies, so I know a few things about getting the word out. I will do my best to see that Delta Airlines loses much more than my $8,000 and future business. Tarnishing your brand will become my new hobby.
In summary, Delta Airlines...F*ck YOU. F*ck your bean-counting, cost-cutting CPAs, consumer-screwing middle managers, senior management and shareholders who perpetuate this lousy consumer treatment. F*ck your advertising agency for lying to consumers about your company. And f*ck you lame-ass consumer research twits for asking my opinion of your sh*tty company.
Perhaps you now have better insight into my thoughts about my experience with Delta Airlines.

You may want to rethink expending a significant amount of effort on your plan. I emphathize with your experience, but air travel has generally become what you described. High baggage fees, missed connections, costs born by the traveller.
I just don't see anything surprising, I guess. Not that it should be this way. It's like not accepting that kitchen appliances only last a few years nowadays.

Delta's Criminal behavior. My 15 Years Old Daughter in Potential Danger.
Posted by
Delta's criminal behavior. My 15 year old daughter (minor flying by her self) in potential danger.
I bought non stop flight tickets for my daughter, paid more, to make sure she will have no extra trouble. Her trip was stressful enough: Dallas to NY JFK; NY JFK to Moscow Russia, then on the way back Moscow to NY JFK; NY JFK to Dallas. My daughter very bright person, she had flown before, so I decide to let her navigate between her gates and flights by her self.
On the way to Russia her flight from Dallas was late, so she missed her connection and Delta had rescheduled her for another flight that leaves 3 hours later and runs by Russian Airline. So my daughter had to run from her gate she arrived from Dallas to the gate of her original flight to Russia and Delta representatives closed door right in front of her face, stating she is 2 min. late. Then they sent her to her previous gate, to change her flight, then she had to stay in line to change her ticket, so Delta booked her on Aeroflot(Russian airline) flight.
By the time they gave her new flight information, she had only 1 hour to run to new gate and get checked in. That was her trip to Russia. I thought it was bad, but I was wrong!!!!!! On the way back, Delta canceled her connection flight to Dallas and re-booked her on flight with 2 connections (NY, Wash, Atlanta, Dallas) and they changed date for next evening. My daughter outside of the security( because she had to clear custom) with all her luggage, even bag that was checked in in JFK Airport by her self for another 26 hours, after flying form Russia (flight 10 hours).
I made 7calls to Delta, had to wait for at list 25 minutes. Delta told me they booked my daughter to American Airline, they gave me confirmation number and also they said: Tell your daughter to go to AA and give them confirmation code. When my daughter with all those bags got there AA representative told her, Delta never booked her on this flight and now they don't have available seats. My daughter was running around asking for help, but Delta representatives at the airport, was ignoring her, when I asked her to give them her cell phone, so I can explain the situation, they refused to talk to me.
It took me 7 hours to try to get her on any flight to Dallas, but it wasn't successful. Finely they got her on flight to JFK to LA to Dallas ha-ha-ha!!!! But it made me feel little better, at list she is not on a street in strange town. Now she is on the way to LA and her flight is running late, so I am worry she is not going to make her connection to Dallas, but at list her baggage checked in and hopefully it will make easier to run between gates in LA. It would be funny story, if it wouldn't be so sad. Why did I pay more for non stop flight from NY to Dallas? Why no one is responsible for this situation? Why my daughter have to spend night on a street in NY or fly all over the country to get home? Delta you are bunch of criminals!!!!!!!!!!!!

She wasn't out on the streets she was in the airport. There's tons of security at airports. At no time was she in any danger.
trmn8r on 07/27/2012:
There is a weather factor that may have affected this person's travel - last night there was severe weather including a tornado in NY. If she was connecting through NY (she is still travelling as this was written), that could be just one delay.
yoke on 07/27/2012:
Delta never put your daughter at risk. They offer a service for unaccompained minors. Delays happen. I have a 15 year old daughter and would never allow her to fly out of the country alone.
