And probably never again.
It's not that they changed our flight twice since we booked in July.
It's not that they charge you for every.little.thing like WiFi, better seats, drinks, snacks.
It's that they charge you $25 for checked-baggage when you're a member of the Canadian Military. Why does this bother me?
Because they're 'partners' with WestJet, and WestJet doesn't charge CAF or Veterans a baggage fee for the first 2 bags. And because the flight is originating out of Canada, so you'd think they'd honour OUR service, right? I mean, my 25 years, and DH's 23 years aren't worthy like some US Military guy's year? Gee.... thanks for that.
So Delta nickels and dimes you for everything. And I'm not impressed at all by that.
Yes, I know - many airlines do charge. Yes, I had the choice to go with WestJet or A/C. Yes, yes, yes, I get that.
I'm just saying, that if you think you may want to fly with Delta, add up all the 'extra' charges first and see if it's still cheaper (plus the tickets are in USD) once all is said and done.
I haven't even gotten to the airport yet and I'm already dreading the flight. Not a good way to start our vacation.
