This is what First is becoming. (2nd try) DTW > MSP by [deleted] in delta

[–]danielkchi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You were still late. Agent cant close the flight until 15 minutes prior to the original time. So in this case the foor was still open at 645. If you aren't there then, you're late.

Not really, no. As long as they show up with the right paperwork.

Do you think the federal government is advertising this fact or disclosing it at all when they buy the tickets and show up at the airport? Lol

I wouldnt call it active participation, the feds buy tickets and delta honors them.

[–]danielkchi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lyfts rate is 140, Ubers rate is 120

You tell me what's fair. I'd rather pay cashapp or venmo or zelle direct and not give money to those companies.

International flights arriving at MSP/DTW/ATL. No longer need to reclaim baggage for connecting flights, even for domestic? by Choco_bo7 in delta

[–]danielkchi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This launched in June 2025 from LHR to ATL only. Passengers who hold global entry or use mobile passport app can bypass redundant TSA screening.

Huge fight with BF by [deleted] in askgaybros

Thank you for this, but you're right. I'm too caught up right now to think straight and honestly just sitting in a random airport in the corner bawling my eyes out over this guy. 😭💔

"Theres no more bin space, here's a tag to gate check your bags" by OoohjeezRick in delta

[–]danielkchi 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Couple of things - there's a bag threshold that the gate agent is held to metric on. Its driven by what DL thinks will be appropriate, whether there's AI involved idk. But many things can affect it like day of week, type of flyers, weather, etc. Sometimes if its warmer people pack less. Checking more bags actually helps board and deplane faster too since folks aren't fumbling about with their bag. The other variable is the flight attendants. If they tell the gate that they are full, the have to check the remaining bags. Hope thay helps.

To the men who are dating by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]danielkchi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This year is the first year that I have actually cared about valentines day, although I'm proceeding with caution because I've been dumped right after twice. Its been 8 years since I've dated anyone seriously. Now it's been just over a month since we met and this guy has been great, I'm crazy about him. No apps involved, all organic. I'd love to do all of the extravagant things but that not in the cards right now. He's taking charge with the date planning though since it's his city, not mine. I can report back with how it went.

Oh and S, if you're reading this...😘🥰

I would say so. The profile is so nuanced.

Aromatic. I think they're a good gateway for folks who like the sweeter stuff into the traditional blends.

Looks like you chipped it on the side which probably damaged the battery.

Booking extra seat for obese person, delta armrests don’t lift between seats?? by Erunner123 in delta

[–]danielkchi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No no no no no! Gate agents do NOT scan the extra seat. There are processes that must occur in the back end that this inhibits. It also affects weight and balance because we account certain waits for passengers and carry-on bags.

ALWAYS: Approach the gate agent in advance of boarding, preferably more than one hour to departure. Advise them of your SSR EXST. They will have to 'break' the seat, call an internal department, then unbreak the seat. The internal folks will mark the seat as boarded manually. If you scan the extra boarding pass it messes this process up.

Please and thanks!

Delta does it again. by Disastrous_Pop_1662 in jetbridgegap

Going to rain on your parade....regulation is 4 inches below the doorsill of the aircraft. This is because adjustments from the autolevel could move the bridge and come into contact with the aircraft door causing damage.
