I never fly delta, no matter how cheap the tickets are. I've never had a good experience with them.
6 0 ReplyIs there a ranking system I'm unaware of? I thought Delta was one of the better ones compared to say frontier or spirit.
8 0 ReplyFrontier and Sprint are a different tier than Delta, which is in the same tier as American Airlines. With Frontier and Sprint, you should expect everything to cost you something snd your trip to be bare bones.
Delta shouldn't be like that at all. But within its tier, it's the worst.
4 0 ReplySo what are tiers and who is in which one?
3 0 ReplyFrom my experience:
- Major - Delta, United, American Airlines
- Value - Southwest, JetBlue
- Budget - Spirit, Frontier, Allegiant
I'm not sure where Alaska and Hawaiian airlines fit in since it's been a while since I've flown with them.
2 0 ReplyI'd add Alaska Airlines to the major category.

I'm the total opposite. I pay up to double the fare sometimes to fly Delta.
Hopefully this bad press on this incident causes some policy changes at Delta on tarmac delays. That sounds miserable and dangerous.
6 0 ReplyExactly. I've had a much better experience with Delta than than most other major airlines.
