September 30, 2009 Luggage Stories

Having flown from Atlanta to Las Vegas in April 2008, we were well aware of Delta’s baggage rules. BUT, a week later upon checking in to return to Atlanta, we were told about new baggage fees.

After a near-perfect vacation in Cancun, Mexico (early-2009), two friends and I boarded our Mexicana Airlines flight back to Texas.

June 17, 2009 Luggage Stories

This doesn’t really concern a flight so much as the shady service I was subjected to at Delta’s terminal in LaGuardia on my way to Disney World. I was on my way to Florida with my fiancée, and it was 7 am. We were dropped off at the terminal and everything was going great until [...]
