Don't Fly Delta

Well, now I can let the cat outta the bag! I got back from a trip home to Rochester last weekend... finally. And the moral of the story is do not fly Delta! Yikes.

My sister and I planned a surprise 30th wedding anniversary party for my parents, so I flew in for the big shocker. Well anyone from Western New York can tell you that last weekend, February 25-28, was full of snow. But anyways, I got to JFK in New York City, barely. This is a story in it's self. I figured, 7:20 flight out of Atlanta, security will be super quick. Well I was wrong. After a mini heart attack and running through the terminal with my belt in my hand and my boots half way on, I made my first flight. So, back to New York, I was suppose to leave NYC for Rochester at 12:30PM. It got delayed until 2pm, no big deal! Well then that was cancelled. And then I was put on a flight to Syracuse. Cancelled. Then I was on a later flight to Syracuse. Cancelled. Then I was stand by to Buffalo. Cancelled. Then I was given the option to fly to Detroit and fly stand by to Rochester. Vetoed by me. So basically I threw my Delta ticket out and ran over to Jet Blue. Booked a flight, for a small fortune, and got home!

The time at home was great, yada yada, then came to Monday and flying back. 1:50PM flight to Atlanta. Delayed. 6PM flight to Atlanta. Cancelled. Sensing a theme here? At this point, I said forget it. Put me on a flight for the next day (Tuesday), went home and finally on Tuesday got off to Atlanta. What a nightmare. I know, I know, this isn't Delta's fault, it's weather. But Jet Blue had no issue getting me from JFK to Rochester... just sayin'

Anyways, I can finally let people know I went home last weekend and it was great to see friends and family again. It might be the last time until August, but it was well worth the travel head aches! As for now, I'm back in Georgia and enjoying the early change into spring weather.
