I am an AVID Southwest flyer and I have experienced the ease of checking in, no issues, and very few delays. Sooooo....for a reason I really dont know, just to try something new, I decided to fly Delta for the first time for work.....BAD IDEA. I did EVERYTHING you can think of before boarding: pre-check in, picking the seats, and PAYING for the luggage. I arrived at the airport about 2 hrs before my flight at TPA. I am not sure of the issue, but for some reason Delta STILL has you stand in line to check bags (that they make you pay for that is) and the line WAS NOT MOVING. I mean after 10mins, thank goodness someone had the idea of using a Skycap that I followed (paid additional monies) or I believe I would have missed my flight. I will NEVER fly Delta for work or otherwise again. I am mad it is a round trip or I would book Southwest on the return. NEVER AGAIN!!!!! BTW it is HOT AS HELL ON THIS PLANE right now & the dry air is making me cough......
