Does anyone know if they're putting this on Delta Connection flights too? That would be even better (and a dream come true for alot of people with an irrational fear of small planes).

Where can I find what airlines are getting it?

Sweeeeeeeeeeet!]]>Dec 11th 2008 9:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/delta-pushes-in-flight-wifi-plans-ahead-gogo-to-hit-2-000-plane/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/delta-pushes-in-flight-wifi-plans-ahead-gogo-to-hit-2-000-plane/
How the Delta stole (my) Christmas

Twas three days before Christmas and my flight was canceled. I live in New York. I see my family once a year. I took vacation days off from work for the trip. They said it was bad weather, but what is this? All the other airlines at JFK had flights going out to St Louis that day. I know. I called and checked. They told me they couldn’t get me on a plane till Christmas afternoon. That’s no good I thought. Two days in St. Louis isn’t worth the money for the flight, and what good is it showing up Christmas night? Fine I’ll cancel it. They said to pick up the black phone and they would refund my fee. But call back tonight or tomorrow, they might have something flying out earlier, maybe a seat would open on a connecting flight that would work for me. I called and got the money refunded then headed down to get my luggage, full of Christmas presents my computer charger and most of my clothes. I’m a heavy parker. But hark! What is this.? My luggage is lost and I never even left the airport.

I spend four hours in baggage. They tell me it could be today or the next day. The woman gives me a number to call to have my bags delivered. She informs me that it will be a thirty dollar delivery fee since I didn’t actually travel with them. I ask if they are at least going to refund my $15 baggage check fee. She says she doesn’t know. She gives me three numbers to call. One number is directly to storage where she believes my bag is. That number I have to call to request the COD delivery. The other number is to get the money refunded and the third is a general baggage number.

I return home and call all the numbers for several hours, never receiving an answer. The phone just rings and rings or is busy. I also want to check and see if there any new flight info. I look online and call the Delta reservations number. I speak with the woman four a half an hour. She tells me that there may be an opening on a St Louis flight the next day, but since I already had my ticket refunded, I would be buying a ticket anew. So the cost would be upward of $1,000. She also informs me there is nothing she can do about my luggage and gives me one of the numbers that has been busy for hours.

The next morning I call the local storage number that the baggage woman gave me. I speak with a woman who is very rude from the get go, asking me how I got this number and telling me that it is not protocol for customers to call this number. I finally give her my bag number. I don’t have a file number because the baggage woman has told me my bag is not technically lost since it is in the airport, and I don’t get a claim number since I didn’t fly. The woman on the phone informs me that if I didn’t fly I will have to pay for the delivery. I respond that “I am aware of that!” I raise my voice when I say this. she tells me not to raise my voice at her and hangs up on me.

I have spent the last four hours calling these numbers just trying to request my luggage be delivered. Still no answers.


This Christmas. I lost:

Three hours waiting after my plane was delayed before the cancel.

Half an hour on hold on the black phone getting my money refunded.

Four hours in the baggage area.

Five hours of time spent speed dialing the company to find my luggage and place a delivery order (so far).

two vacation days from work

$40.00 for a cab to the airport

$15 in baggage check fees

$30 (if my bag is delivered)

The chance to see my family this year and the chance to spend Christmas with my family.

All confidence in Delta. Not only did they cancel my flight and leave me no options to get to my detonation that day or the next, and loose my luggage they were beyond rude to me, they were malicious, like they were getting off on having the ability to hurt someone. Getting off on having a bit of power.

I understand cancellations and delays. But charging me for my lost luggage, yelling at me and being rude on top of it all is unacceptable. I hope they go out of business. I am NEVER using them again. I don;t care if they have wifi.
