Transportation Station

After discussion tonight in night class about AirTran Airways, formerly ValuJet (the airline of the infamous plane crash that took place in the Florida Everglades), I figured I should investigate Delta Airlines, the airline that Bryndi and I will be flying with for our cruise, to learn more about the company and to see what others who have flown with Delta before have to say.

After "Google-ing" reviews of Delta Airlines, I found one on eopinions.com that I would like to share with all of you. This particular reviewer provides a nice overview of all aspects of his experience with Delta, and gives a lot a great details about everything from the level of professionalism of the staff to the cleanliness of the plane and the speed at which luggage was returned to the passengers. He gave Delta five stars out of six, and said that his flight was an overall very positive experience. I was glad to hear this, and relieved to know that it's a safe, reliable, and comfortable airline to travel with. The reviewer mentioned having a connecting flight in Atlanta, Georgia, which is the exact same location as our connecting flight, and he said that this process was very smooth and efficient, which I was also glad to hear. He mentioned that the staff wasn't overly friendly, but that he admired their professionalism. He also said that Delta did an outstanding job at getting all of their passengers their luggage immediately after they got off the plane, which I agree is a definite plus.

According to Delta's website, http://www.delta.com, there's a $23.00 fee for each checked bag on a Delta flight when traveling within the contintental United States. I was wondering whether or not there would be a fee for checked bags on Delta flights. I've heard a lot of airlines have been charging for checked bags recently, since fuel costs have gone up, so I figured that might be the case for our flights. Bryndi and I flew to Disney World three summers ago with AirTran Airways and there was no fee for checked bags--my how times have changed!

Do any of you know of any airlines who aren't charging fees for checked bags these days? We didn't really have a choice, as Delta was the airline that was provided for us with our cruise package, and I'm not complaining at all since we're getting our flights for free along with the cruise itself, but I was just wondering if any of you know of any airlines that still aren't charging for checked bags? Also, what airlines have you had the most positive travel experiences with? Let me know!
