_Delta

Some random comments about my flights with Delta Air Lines:

_Both flights were delayed. The intercontinental for about 1 hour and the domestic for over 2 1/2 hours. In both cases they boarded one hour prior to departure. It’s pretty boring to sit in an airplane that is docked at the gate.
_The interior of Delta planes looks old. They have oldish looking blue leather seats and no in-seat entertainment program. On the domestic flight the entertainment program was displayed with an old beamer that used RGB-lamps (do they have a special name?). I didn’t watch the entertainment program. They showed three movies and neither of them looked interesting. I enjoyed listening to the first audiobook of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and Richard Wagners The flying dutchmen and The Rhinegold on my iPod.
_The seats weren’t very clean. The seat pockets were filled with stuff that people left in there from other flights.
_The vegi meal was boring (rice, beans, salad), but they served ice-cream on the intercontinental flight.
_Delta Stewardesses aren’t very young. A lot of them were around forty to fifty.
_The intercontinental flight was pretty empty. I had the three middle seats for myself, but lying on three seats wasn’t as very confortable as hoped.

Conclusion: The flight was very very cheap and I didn’t crashland, but I’ll probably choose an other airline next time.
