Delta Airlines Review

I haven't flown Delta Airlines since I was a kid.  For some reason I've always leaned toward the Houston based Continental Airlines.  This time it was Delta who had the greater deal and I booked a trip to the Atlanta area about 2 months ago when the airfares were quite low. 

I got nervous as my trip approached because of the new baggage rates and hearing that there were no snacks on board some carriers.  Being the prepared person that I try to be, somehow I managed to pack all of my clothes/shoes into a carry-on, duffle-bag type suitcase and I also had a shoulder strap bag with my magazines, meds, makeup.  I mainly opted to carry on my bags not because of the new baggage rates but more because I was worried that my stuff would get lost at the Atlanta airport, which has happened several times....

As my trip approached I learned that Delta does not charge you for your first bag.  Yay!!  Well I was already packed and I didn't want to chance the bag getting lost at the airport so I stuck with my carry-on duffle bag.  I said my prayers the night before and the morning of my trip - I wanted a smooth experience.  My prayers came true and Delta Airlines gets the stars.

Delta Airlines baggage rules:

1st suitcase = free, 2nd suitcase = $25, 3rd/4th suitcase = $80 ea, and so on.

Delta Airlines carry-on rules:

Free = 1 carry-on (must not be larger than 45-inches total, meaning length + width + depth) and 1 personal bag (purse, computer bag, back pack, diaper bag, etc.)

And we got snacks!!!  We were served a drink and a choice of cheese crackers, cinnamon cookies or peanuts.  The flight was about 1 hour and 45 minutes so that would be about right.  Plus, in my fear of no snacks for me and the kids, I packed pretzels and Russell Stovers sugar free chocolates....and empty water bottles which we filled up after we went through security.

I can say that the flight attendants were courteous and it was a smooth and pleasant experience.

Thumbs up for Delta Airlines~
