Delta rant :(
 
Reserved 2 seats from Santo Domingo to San Francisco one-way in January. Today went to check yet another schedule change - darn, they've moved us from row 20 into row 30!!

How much longer till they move us out of the plane to a parashute?

Oh, well, there is a silver lining. We paid just over $600 for 2, now the same is over $1,000.

Faina - YOu are going to S Domingo in January! You aren't allowed to rant when the rest of us will be in the US freezing!

FainaAgain Oct 22nd, 2008 03:06 PM

Ha! I'll be going FROM Santo Domingo - this is where the cruise ends after going through Panama Canal!

Do you hate me now? :)

I heard there are only 29 rows on this plane - Row 30 means the entire trip will be spent in the bathroom. That is what happens to people who get to go on Panama Canal cruise in January.

LOL with Mr Again we're applying for urgent mile high club membership

Have you tried to change the seats? Unless the flight is already full you should be able to do it either online or by phone.

kybourbon Oct 22nd, 2008 04:04 PM

Unfortunately, you have to join the potty club instead of the mile high club.

FainaAgain Oct 23rd, 2008 08:09 AM

Jeff, I can't even open that leg of the flight where they've moved us :( It's a sunday evening flight that may be full.

KY, thank you very much for your kindness :-p

Faina what day are tou travelling? Is it Flt 598 to ATL?

FainaAgain Oct 23rd, 2008 08:40 AM

Santo-Domingo to I don't remember, something in Florida, maybe Miami? Then another leg to San Francisco. Sorry, left the print-out at home, and I have another trip before that :) January 18 one-way.

When there's a schedule change, sometimes you can't access the seatmaps until the itinerary is "cleaned up". It will eventually happen automatically but you can call and have them do it now. When you look at your itinerary on delta.com do you still see both the old flight and the new flight?

But it looks like 27AB are the only two assignable seats next to each other unless you have elite status for preferred seating.

FainaAgain Oct 28th, 2008 01:14 PM

I have good news and bad news.

The good news: they've moved us 3 rows up from 32 to 29.

The bad news: our mile high membership had been denied :))

And I still can't get into the 2nd leg seating assignment, doesn't matter how much I curse my computer.

kybourbon Oct 29th, 2008 12:51 PM

Looks like you will just have to plan another trip to make the mile high club. 8-}

FainaAgain Nov 19th, 2008 10:23 AM

Today is exactly 2 months before the trip, got an e-mail from Delta with the schedule change, new seats assigned on the 2nd, longer leg - row 29.

Atlanta, GA - will 3 hr layover be enough coming from another country? (2 hrs 55' from int'l to domestic)

Yes

kybourbon Nov 20th, 2008 05:14 PM

Yes, Faina. You will have time to get some southern grub in the Atlanta airport.

FainaAgain Nov 21st, 2008 10:35 AM

Shhh... don't mention the grub! You never know if Mr. Again is looking over my shoulder! ;)
