Bring your own snacks/food. Extra legroom is nice but not really worth the extra money, unless you want free alcohol.

Arrived early, comfortable seats (Comfort+). Mediocre food, poor wifi (intermittent).

Long story short, it was one of the better flight experiences I've had in some time when compared with other airlines.

Much better than Latam, the worse airline company ever. I hope I don't have the need to fly Latam ever in my life again.

My flight yesterday evening was delayed 3.5 hours with no water or food service. Poor experience

The tray table was broken and the food was terrible.

Generally on time departures and arrivals, clean planes, sky miles membership provides great benefits (complimentary upgrades, etc).

N Everything was perfect from boarding to assistance to baggage in Tampa

Flight delayed. Air broken. Cabin was hot enough to pass out. Delta shuttle’s becoming worse and worse.

Fast, lovely scenery, great info on the Delta flight screen about landmarks we were flying over. Great landing!

Long flight but comfortable and not freezing as I have experienced on Hawaiian flights to the islands. They gave us blankets just in case. Nice touch.
