This seems targeted to those who've always wanted a stowaway experience.

Has anybody been on a Delta flight that has these tickets ? How do they keep these cheap ticket people from putting their personal item up top?

You board last and then their ain't no overhead space left due to all the carry on weirdos. Also if it is bigger than a backpack they are going to make you gate check it.

wait Delta already has this?

Phil Titola · « **Reply #9135 on:** January 18, 2017, 03:59:09 PM »

Even called the same thing ...Delta doesn't reduce the elite qualification segments and miles you earn like AA looks like they are doing

Trim · « **Reply #9136 on:** January 18, 2017, 04:27:26 PM »

The gate agents should paint a scarlet B or E (or both!) on these people's foreheads when they check in.

oahu kinda sucks for normal hawaii stuff but is good for food. alan wongs is very good if you want a nice meal. traffic is awful.

flying 1st class from charleston through charlotte to omaha today on AA. I really like AA's RJ 1st product. I always book work flights and then upgrade to first with miles. that also lets me change flights for no charge which I did today. I hate the CLT airport with the heat of a thousand suns though.

CLT is terrible. Ts and Ps

CLT has a bojangle's which is nice if you like bojangle's.

And I would never use miles for an RJ upgrade on a work trip but of course I don't have a billion miles.

if anything the RJ upgrade makes more sense than a regular plane. plus AA's RJ first product is pretty nice.

On United it's usually about the equivalent of economy plus if it exists at all. Plus it's generally gonna be a short flight.

I never knew how Japanese Hawaii is.

Gooch · « **Reply #9147 on:** January 23, 2017, 11:28:34 AM »

I always assumed it was Japan with English and crawling with white midwestern tourists

Oh my yes. There are at least as many Japanese tourist there as mainlanders.

Asians tourists WAY outnumber the white tourists.

I took my Japanese co-worker into an American 7eleven so we could lol in amazement at how different it was but it was totally loaded with the same Japanese snacks and similar ready to eat items!

Plus there is Japanese writing everywhere and some places even take Yen
