I agree that operationally DL is the best of the big 3 and that their agents are the easiest and best to deal with IME.

But the reason that the Captain thanked everyone in J is because 9,999 times out of 10,000 they paid revenue or an exorbitant amount of miles for that seat.

The craziest thing about this story is that you were booked into saver J  JFK-LAX :P
[when it (as always) wasnt available].

But again, DL reps are more likely to help than most other airlines....

Or paid $26 for the seat, but that was 2 years in the past already 😊

Great stuff! Excited for the rest!
Really want to hear whether there were any DDF stalkers on the flight, or if that's just from the AJK's other experiences :)

IINM he was booked on TN and there was a cancellation (or something like that), so he got rebooked onto AF.
