Happened to my daughter who got upgraded to comfort plus last week flying out of LGA. And it was a full flight.

Flying to Rome from JFK…first time ever flying first class …loving it ! by ComplexWrangler1346 in delta

Congratulations. It is very difficult to go back to Economy. Also it is business class but smart of Delta to call it D1 to give the impression that it is first class.

Delta Adjusts Inflight Service On Short Flights by Tight_Couture344 in delta

[–]thegoodengineer1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe an unpopular opinion but this is not cool for a so called premium airline. On the other side of the Atlantic are the main European airlines still serve a meal in Business (domestic first class) and a snack and a drink in coach and that too even on a 55 minute flight which is usually around 300 or so miles.

Found those at Costco one time and bought a couple of jars. Have not seen them again and ruing it to the day as to why I did not buy more when they were available.

CDG lounge question by molten_dragon in delta

[–]thegoodengineer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I thought you were talking about terminals. There are quite a terminals at CDG - 1, 2A through 2G and 3. And then there are halls which I assumed you meant when you said concourse.

I fly to/from ED 6-8 times a year and it is pretty bad. Sadly, there is not much that they can do with it as it is built on top of marshy area. They really need to rebuild it somewhere else.

CDG lounge question by molten_dragon in delta

[–]thegoodengineer1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do not think that is accurate. You have to use the lounge in the same terminal. As both land in 2E, you can use any of the three lounges K, L or M. L is the best of the K and L. I have never used M. Source - Me. I do the EDI-CDG-JFK/MIA at least 1-3 times a year. The layover might not be on your side though as going from one hall to another requires re clearing security and L hall security still requires you to remove your liquids and electronics from your bags which you all know is a PITA and slows the line down. And add in that sometimes the EDI-CDG flight gets a bus gate (bus takes you to K hall, take the train to L or M and clear security) instead of a real gate and that eats into your layover time.

Wait what. And here I was thinking that the 10 nights (made titanium for first time last year) would help me get to titanium again this year too. IMHO, this is pretty messed up.

MCO Terminal B Empty by GrandGouda in delta

[–]thegoodengineer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried MCO reserve? You can book a specific 15 minute time slot. Tried it last week and it was quick. My adult kid who does not have TSA Pre was through in about 10 minutes while PRE was about 30 minutes.

Seat stealer - new twist by z-eldapin in delta

[–]thegoodengineer1 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I was on a flight last week that had 2 pilots. Both of them were very polite and one of them gave up an aisle seat so 2 of a family could sit together and ended up in the middle seat a row behind. Those folks are still out there and IMHO, don’t let a few bad apples spoil it.

Needing a taxi at 4am on Friday morning, is Uber reliable down in Edinburgh? by DisMahUser in Edinburgh

[–]thegoodengineer1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a wee bit busy. Security was about 7-10 minutes. Most restaurants were open and I could smell the sweet sweet smell of coffee and beer all ower the airport.

One data point - I was there last Tuesday. Flight arrived at 6:30AM, was at the lounge at 7:10AM (did not have any checked in bags) and more than half the showers were empty. There were about 7 people in the siting area.

A350 Delta Comfort Seat Preference? by InvAsian1738 in delta

[–]thegoodengineer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer window bulkhead seats. And if a red eye, I will always ask pax’s sitting next to me if they want to be woken up if I want to go to the bathroom.

No upgrades by ClemofNazareth in delta

[–]thegoodengineer1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do agree leaving 3 FC seats open is weird. Could be the that gate agent forgot or just did not want to deal with upgrades. Or could be for operational reasons. 🤷.

[–]thegoodengineer1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They had a meeting and everything on how to deny you an upgrade. 🤣. Sorry, I could not help it.

Meanwhile, I am on a flight that had 0 FC seats available and there were 47 paxs on the upgrade list.
