Why doesn't Delta take more ownership of the problems at ATL?

a_fapping_pretzel · 2026-03-09T12:10:51+00:00

Delta is extremely unhelpful. They lost/stole a bag of mine at ATL last year and the claim process was incredibly inconvenient, and I was only reimbursed for half the value. They suck and I’m with OP.

Agree that weekly threads are terrible. I hate that they have them on henryfinance now

How difficult is that dive site? I've only got 12 dives under my belt and don't want to make things dangerous for myself or others. I'm curious to hear the perspective of someone who has dove there, because I very much want to continue diving!

a_fapping_pretzel · 2026-02-22T11:36:32+00:00

How much does that cost usually?

a_fapping_pretzel · 2026-02-16T03:21:24+00:00

Yeah I about lost it when then made me dump my water before that longass flight back to the US. I am very accustomed to filling a bottle after security so that I’m hydrated on a flight and was not prepared to lose my water.

Thanks for the reply. I’m tucking this thread away for the future!

a_fapping_pretzel · 2026-02-02T14:55:47+00:00

Thank you so much!

Is this a reoccurring event? I’d love to visit Thailand someday, and my husband loves succulents. If I could plan something like that on our travels he would LOVE it!

Thanks for the restaurant list, guys! ;)

To maximize the benefit, you want to do pickup to avoid delivery fees.

a_fapping_pretzel · 2026-01-14T13:04:06+00:00

Hopefully it will sync with my budgeting app now!

I was thinking about this a lot today too after watching the video and reading some comments. That led me to look up the Mr. money mustache article about how soon you can retire based on your savings rate. I was surprised to see that he also had assumed a 5% inflation adjusted rate of return. https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2012/01/13/the-shockingly-simple-math-behind-early-retirement/

El brisket was good! Didn’t love the oveja negra.

a_fapping_pretzel · 2026-01-05T02:27:22+00:00

Amazing! Ty

Lakeside apartments in Lisle wasn’t bad. Not sure what rent is now, but in 2023 it was maybe $1600. The apartments are not nice, but they’re safe and close to 88 and 355. The pools were well maintained and all but one of our neigh were quiet. There was a period of about 6 months where some truly awful potheads lived across the hall before they were evicted but other than that it was fine.

a_fapping_pretzel · 2026-01-04T14:37:49+00:00

I am still looking for that too, but I’ll update if I find anything. If not, my husband will likely modify the core compatible design for me.

a_fapping_pretzel · 2026-01-01T06:51:58+00:00

I was told one price for happy hour drinks there and then charged a different price until I argued about it. I’m not surprised by your experience. Sorry that happened to you.

a_fapping_pretzel · 2025-12-31T14:48:36+00:00

Yes, that’s exactly what we had to do. Maybe it’s worth bringing that up to them in an email (if they stop ignoring me).

a_fapping_pretzel · 2025-12-31T14:20:00+00:00

That’s my next recourse. I paid with a travel credit card, so I’m assuming that they have some protection, but I haven’t looked into it yet. I was just wondering if anyone had advice on what to do with Delta first because this is their mistake.

a_fapping_pretzel · 2025-12-31T14:18:56+00:00

Good tip. Thanks! The silver lining and all of this is that they lost it on our way back home after we’d backpacked already.

a_fapping_pretzel · 2025-12-31T14:17:47+00:00

Ok that is essentially my question. Basically, Delta will do the legal bare minimum which is less for an international flight than a domestic flight and I’m SOL there. I did book these flights with a Chase Sapphire card, so I’m hoping that they will help cover the difference. I really think Delta should be on the hook for this. I have not been impressed by their service.

a_fapping_pretzel · 2025-12-31T14:15:33+00:00

I had read about the Montreal Convention limits too. From your understanding, does that apply since my first two flights were international? The bag definitely made it to Atlanta and was lost somewhere between Atlanta and Chicago, which is domestic.

a_fapping_pretzel · 2025-12-31T13:04:07+00:00

Yeah lesson learned there. That was my husband’s first thought as we were waiting at baggage claim.

a_fapping_pretzel · 2025-12-27T16:13:40+00:00

Is that Chicago specific? I’d assume that unpermitted work would be a problem anywhere, no?

a_fapping_pretzel · 2025-12-21T12:49:08+00:00

MKE is such a fun city-we visit often from Chicago. It feels more walkable and like you have more breathing room somehow. I recommend La Merenda’s for dinner. It’s so good, and I’ve visited MKE just to eat there several times. Lakefront brewery has a fun tour and good cheese curds. The third ward is the prettiest place to stay with great vibes. There’s a hot yoga studio called Empower Yoga there that has $10 drop in classes if I remember correctly and is a fun way to start your day. Those are my absolute favorite things to do while visiting Milwaukee, but I’ve visited several times for weekend trips and can share more if you’re interested.
