In reply to Daphne Shadows. I would have, but was too sick. After the experience, I had pneumonia until almost April :(.

I would have sued the HELL out of Delta if I were you back then.

I had several horrible experiences with Delta. They were extremely rude to people traveling with small children and would never help me in any way. I no longer have small children but I still have negative thoughts about them no matter how often I fly with them. They have gotten so big it is inevitable they picked up some nice people along the way.

I recently flew to Chattanooga from DFW (hi, neighbor!) and, because I was willing to extend my stay by one day, I saved enough on my tickets through Delta to stay an extra night and have extra spending money at LibertyCon. I had never flown with Delta before but my experience was nothing short of amazing. I am disabled and have to have a porter with a wheelchair meet me at the gate to get me to the plane, at the plane to get to my next gate, and so on. The flights were DFW->Atlanta->Chattanooga and the reverse coming home. At each point both directions, I was met promptly by people who knew I had to have a wheelchair to get anywhere from the plane. They were on time (as were the flights), courteous, and accommodating; at each point where I had to wait at a boarding lounge, the porter made sure the gate agent knew I was there, where I was and that I needed extra time to board. They made what is usually a trying situation just as pleasant as it could possibly have been. American has been rather blase’ about taking care of my need for extra help and I usually have to remind them about needing a wheelchair at every stop, even though it says that on my ticket information. It’s Delta for me from now on.

In reply to Allison Brennan.

You wonder how some people keep their jobs.
My family has had our passports left (in a signature-required bag) on the front step, clearly visible and accessible from the street a couple of metres away – on New Year’s Eve.
They didn’t even knock, we just found the package when we stepped out to see the fireworks.

YES! And it happened Thursday; same day I received your Delta experience. I’m still upset about it. I e-mailed my complaint to the retail business. They responded by writing that my complaint has been forwarded to the district manager. My husband keeps asking about my “shopping” experience last Thursday. I say, “Read my e-mail to them! I don’t want to talk about it!”

In 1995, you needed no ID to get on a plane. In 1996, after Flight 800 (blew up, probably terrorists, but officially “air conditioning problems,”) you needed any ID. I brought a municipal pool ID, no problem. In 1997, suddenly you needed 2 forms of government ID, had to be officially official (like a passport, driver’s license, etc.) I brought only a single college ID, because I was told I needed just any ID card with my picture on. Of course, Delta couldn’t spell it out when, I like, you know, bought the ticket, exactly what kind of ID they wanted. So I was thrown off the plane. Thank God we got the last seat on the next flight and were able to run home, get my 2 forms of government ID and continue our vacation.

Today, even after 9/11, even after the DOHS has taken over the airport, you need only one form of ID. I don’t even have two forms of government ID, since I washed my SS card and it dissolved. I’ve even heard that the DOHS will take things like Sam’s Club ID’s if you agree to be strip searched. Why this airline made its own rules which were stricter than that of even the government is beyond me. And if the plane is stuck, forget getting anything from them. Continental gave us a gift card to buy dinner. Delta gave us a bag of peanuts.

Hell hath no fury like a Libran with the scales tipped!
I got marched at gun point from the channel tunnel in France a few years ago.
Why? Because i’d been savvy enough to buy two single tickets instead of a return. I was refused boarding with 3 kids under the age of 11. When I complained I was taken to the main gate and left. Did I forgive them? Did I hell! I wrote to every person who would listen to complain. I never got an apology but I did recover the cost of my ticket, an additional nights stay and ferry home…but not after months of refusing to let it go.

I agree you do get what you look for – when you believe it you will see it
