Off to New York
Mrs. SFO and I are off this weekend to New York for some theater, good food, sightseeing and little holiday shopping. As I'm only three AA flights away from re-qualifying for American Executive Platinum and with the garbage airline that American has become in the past few months, I'm now booking based on convenience and price. Delta has a perfectly timed Denver-JFK nonstop and a bargain at only $265 one way in First.
Not as roomy as American's 737-800, but three hours nonstop beats six hours on a connection.
A nice touch as Delta provides a mini-bottle of Dasani for each First Class passenger at boarding.
Once in the air, quick service.
Although a puny rag regment towel just like AA.
At least Delta still uses a table cloth unlike American which dumped table cloths after the September 1st cut-backs.
Lunch today was a choice of cheeseburger or Mediterranean chicken salad. Far more substantial than current American lunches. Although the chicken was bland, at least it was edible unlike most current AA meals.
We arrived 20 minutes early at Terminal 2 and met our Dial 7 driver 10 minutes after we deplaned.
