I buy a coke in the airport and take it on the plane no matter where I sit if I want one. I can get a bottle instead of a can even!

Delta is so cheap they won’t even give you a Coke


Misunderstood the question.

“Do you want that in the can…”

I don’t give a frick as long as an airline has good maintenance and ex-military white male pilots.

DEI made me think this way.

Yeah but Delta is on time and doesn’t lose bags like American does

I see Delta is still living on reputation from a time long ago.

I fly way more than the average traveler and Delta blow American out of the water. It’s not even close. United is somewhere in the middle.

Delta is trash just like the rest. I've been delayed on Delta just as much as any other airline lately.

First of all, all airlines are trash. But delta is the best trash. Maybe I’m just lucky. I think I’ve been delayed on Delta one time in the past 6 or 7 years that I can remember and even then it was like an hour.

Lucky is an understatement if that is the case . Not trashing delta or you but one time ? I am not a frequent traveler but weather alone has caused me several delays this year .

Agreed

Delta
United






Southwest (depending on location, but their pre boarding has gotten out of control)


American. By far the worst. Absolutely awful

I look for aviators and that salt and pepper mustache. That combo all but guarantees a good flight.

Rewards are there to gain loyal customers. The cost of those rewards are hidden in the ticket prices. Companies should give you an option A. Get Rewards. B. No Rewards. Cheaper Prices

I can’t recall more than one honestly. But I wouldn’t put a weather delay on the airline. My last American flight was delayed almost 4 hours because they didn’t have a crew available.
