    Delayed thanks to delta and Atlanta airport. Over 2 1/2 hours and counting. There was a light thunderstorm for 30 mins, which has totally passed. Now we had to wait on pilots and "maintenance" issues.

    So I just had to say Fuck Delta. All these airlines suck these days.

    I agree, how dare they not fly in adverse weather conditions in a fully maintained aircraft with competent flight crew!

    Dude, relax, think of the vacation ahead of you and how getting there safely should be your most important worry right now :D

    Write a well worded complaint when you get back. We have had issues like that with Delta a few times, and they actually have sent us some sort of compensation each time.

    WE GOT DELAYED 30 hours with Sunwing, cause their pilots were over their alloted flight hours , due to Sunwing booking them a 100% and not allowing for a 2 hour delay.

    their compensation was 150 pp on a $ 3,800 package.

    the use of the word ''F....K'' for a couple hours is overkill

    Sounds worse than us by far. Why did you get delayed that badly?

    We had a good time at Temptation though. Plan on returning again in the future.

    I am a pilot for an express carrier of American. In order to keep ticket prices so low they schedule us to 80-90% of our available duty time and a 2 hour delay can result in us timing out of available duty time.

    I have a list of airports in my head that I avoid during certain times of the year because I hate the delay as much if not more than the passengers. Atlanta is a no go for me in the summer.

    Wow, lost one whole day. I hope they compensated for the room, and other expenses plus lots of air miles or cash.

    Unless you book a package deal the odds grow against you for hotel compensation.

    They have every angle covered
