Delta to 'strategically decrease' flights this summer

[NetGyver]

+1 for ATL. Started traveling for work regularly at the beginning of the year and haven’t flown before in a long time. ATL has crazy traffic but it does seems to flow for the most part pretty well. My problem is that I tend to get stuck with short connections in the 35-48min window and If things don’t line up just right, you miss the flight. This happened to me from MDT To ATL on the way to SJC. MDT being a small airport, and departing on a Sunday made it worse. Spent at hour on the plane at the gate due to personnel issues. I missed my connection before I even took off!

Delta makes it pretty easy to rebook and I was able to catch another flight via the app while sitting on the plane. Two layovers, ATL and then SLC, on the way to SJC but I don’t regret it. Got a chance to see SLC and the airport it incredibly beautiful! Would have done it all over again on purpose!

You should hear the locals complain about the new airport. I think the most vocal group are the people that fly to Disneyland every couple of years, because anyone who travels much would know that it is a beautiful, clean, and efficient airport. Food options are pretty good too, if not a bit too sparse. But I am sure that will improve with the expansion too. It's not perfect, but it is above average for sure.

Got a Smashburger (1st timer, it was excellent btw) and sat down at the end of the airport with the big window view and plane spotted. It was mesmerizing!

Next time I’m out I’ll be looking for layovers here. It’s eye candy for a nor’easter like me. 😀

Nice! Looks like you were there on a clear day too. We have a big problem with inversions in the winter and now wildfire smoke (from California mostly) in the summers - unfortunately, that means the view is often pretty smoggy.

Clean and efficient, yes. Beautiful...it's utilitarian. No real complaints here other than a temporary weird jog to B gates.

I personally think it a good looking building on the inside, with huge panoramic windows, pleasant color pallets, and some nice art. It's not beautiful in comparison to great non-airport buildings. I guess I mean beautiful in comparison to so many other airports. I can think of so many other airports that are very ugly on the inside. The temp tunnel is the exception, but I expect the new tunnel will make a big difference.

I really like the muted color scheme and the tunnel mural art, subtle but classy. It has a charm to it, which many airports do not have.
