I typically fly Alaska I just prefer the airlines. I am flying back as I type from Atlanta on Delta flight 979 to Seattle.( I love gogo Internet). When I originally booked my reservation I wanted to fly from PDX to MCO but couldn’t make the right connections so I went with Delta. I booked a first class RT and flew out the 15th. Imagine my surprise when I attempted to enter the Sky Lounge and was informed first class doesn’t gain you entry to the sky lounge. I had to buy a 30 day pass. Which I did as my lay overs were long and I had work to do.
When I fly Alaska, United or American if you buy a first class ticket you ate allowed in their lounge.
Deltas 767 seats aren’t as comfortable as their 757 seats either.
