I think you got a great deal.
I remember paying $650 from upstate NY via JFK around 2001-2002.
We could have paid as low as $373 from Orlando this year, but opted for $40 in seat charges. _________________ Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be - Grandma Moses (1860 - 1961) |

Thanks, all! I think it is too. I remember John one year paying about $800 each. The odd thing is that the flight is almost full, so why would the price be so low? The only bad thing is Delta is unreliable out of NY. I know you use them Amy, but from here, they are usually late or cancel flights! _________________ Christmas 2015 at Disney World!

I question their reliability from other hubs.
The only time we took them to Aruba, they cancelled a late night flight back to Daytona Beach. We scrambled to find overnight accommodations at our expense in Atlanta. Then, coming back to the airport after about 6 hours, they said our luggage was 2 pounds overweight...when it was 4 pounds under in AUA. Bah!
I won't bore everyone with what they did on flights to Hawaii.
I'm just thankful that we now have non-stop options from FL to AUA...no more flying north to Atlanta or Charlotte to fly south again! _________________ Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be - Grandma Moses (1860 - 1961) |

We've been using Delta about twice a month for work trips (all non-stop flights out of MSP) for the past 4 years or so (since they merged with Northwest) and, knock on wood, we have no complaints. We started using them to Aruba to add to our frequent flyer miles and, again, no complaints.
So far, with our frequent flyer miles we've been able to use them for free flights to London, Amsterdam, and two trips to Paris (first class on the Paris flights.)
I can't say that I love them (they are an airline afterall - LOL) but so far they've delivered for us for both business and vacation trips. _________________ ~Amy~®

Hey, frequent flyer is frequent flyer! That is great!
John- they stranded my daughter (20 at the time) in Raleigh, just cancelled the flight. They were going to put her on a 10pm flight, until she walked around the airport and saw a flight leaving at 3pm. She asked to b put on that instead. Why didn't they do that to begin with? _________________ Christmas 2015 at Disney World!
