Somebody tell Delta. I'm sick of having to connect through Atlanta.

- matthewmcg 9y agoYou don't find scrambling from concourse to concourse on our crowded plane train charming? Kidding, of course, but when you do live in the hub city it does make it much easier to get a direct flight to almost any destination.
- sweettea 9y agoThe inter-terminal walk is actively enjoyable and de-stressing, particularly between A and B, and I don't understand why people don't default to walking instead of taking the plane train.
- mynameisvlad 9y agoYeah the greenery they added to the A-B walkway is downright cool. I was half excited to do the terminal hop last time I flew through ATL.
- chiph 9y agoYou're not wrong. But Hartsfield-Jackson is an amazing machine.
- dawnerd 9y agoI do anything I can to avoid connecting through. Delta Using it as a test bed makes it very uncomfortable. Plastic seats, annoying boarding process people can’t seem to figure out, exposed ceiling (seriously it’s been well over a hear now), etc. I mean it’s not as bad as their new terminals at LAX but wow I have to rank it as one of my least favorite airports. I think I’m just spoiled by how nice PDX is.
- kjs3 9y agoPDX? Really? Well, sure, it's not hard to be 'nicer' when you're, what, 1/10th or 1/20th the volume. Flew out of CLT recently and thought 'how nice' until I realize they have a fraction of the flights in a day that a single concourse at ATL does.
- kodablah 9y agoI know this may sound trite, but are you forced to fly Delta for work or is there a destination that only they travel to? I avoid Delta for this reason.
- jcadam 9y agoFor flights out of Melbourne (Florida), the choices are Delta or American (and all the AA flights connect through Charlotte). I just happen to like Delta slightly better. Depending on where I'm going, if I can find a non-stop flight from Orlando, I'll drive to the Orlando airport. Surprisingly, that doesn't happen very often.
- trillic 9y agoIt's a love-hate relationship. I live in Detroit, Delta's 2nd largest hub by number of flights. It feels like I can fly direct to almost anywhere in the country.
