Before you start reading my review about Delta, its worth reading my DP @ https://mouthshut.com/diary/edfflpplp/Before-I-say-Good-NightOur-unforgetable-trip-Hats-off-to Emirates-Hi-from-Atlanta "There I have mentioned more about Emirates. But its worth mentioning our experience about our connecting flight at New York to Atlanta. Though we had our Boarding pass directly from Chennai-Dubai-New York Atlanta and baggage were booked directly to Atlanta from Chennai, we had to pass through Immigration Clearance at New York, being the first Airport to land At USA not take much time as we are frequent visitors to USA, all our data were in their Computer.But we have been asked to collect our baggage and move to Delta Domestic counter at New York Domestic terminal. New York is the worst Airport that I have seen in USA! No facility to shift our baggage from International terminal. No train shuttle service as in many airports in USA. We are old couple crossed 60 years We took 2 luggage carts(Paid) and pushed all the way to domestic Terminal, crossing the road, going up and down in Elevators(my wife is afraid of using escalators!).finally we reached the domestic terminal .Delta counter was very close the entrance! One of the Delta staff came and helped in pushing the cart.and immediately put our baggage(4 Suitcases!) in the belt. Guided us to the boarding gate and offered seats near the boarding counter, where laptop charging sight is close to our seat. As it had free Internet connection, I informed about my arrival at NY to my Children and grand children. Delta as a trial gave the passengers free internet connecion, who have laptop with wireless connection and we can access Internet while flying at the altitude of 30, 000 ft.!; Read my DP @ https://mouthshut.com/diary/jibisqolp/DP-from-Delta-gogo-inflight-Free-wifi-internet. Though the flight was only for 2 hr 30 mts, they gave plenty of free food and snacks! When the flight departure was announced, as senior citizen(only one old couple!), allowed us to board the flight and helped us to carry hand baggage and put them in overhead, above our seats. The flight took off on the dot and landed 15 mts before the Schedule! We are in USA since mid December, 2009. We took another flight by Delta, Atlanta-Boston-Atlanta, last month and we enjoyed the flight also. We are flying again by Delta to Pittsburgh on 27th February’10. Hope we get the same service!
