@KhanSaba1278 I'd go back to 18. I always say I'd give anything to be 18 again. I love that time of my life. Boundless energy, a lot of things one can do and achieve. Not to mention: NO friggin' aches and pains. 😆

@its_shine2 First one I see... They can't all have appeared at the same time. One of them will have walked into that train car first.

@KhanSaba1278 How did the tipping culture evolved in America? Tipping is not a big thing in Europe (including the UK), offensive in Japan and unheard of in the rest of Asia and Oceania.

@Sofia50020Sofia My god, I did all 20! I even listened to music with the giant vinyls then they turned smaller. Just like the giant laser discs gave way to the smaller ones, then the CDs came, followed by VCDs, then DVDs, then smaller DVDs, then the cloud services made physical storage a niche…

@Shadow1336969 @aviationbrk A lot of people learn lessons the hard way. Boeing is no exception. Corporate entities like Boeing are extremely sensitive to anything that hurts their bottomline, when oversight is imposed, & take away their money. They straighten up pretty quickly. Money is a string motivator.

@5thofhennessy @TheAviationBeat I find Medallion status with @Delta a waste of time and energy. I would drop cash on Qatar Airways in a heartbeat over Delta and get my money’s worth. I guess Qatar Airways engineers a perception of luxiry and quality better than Delta. Global airlines get compared and measured.

[FLBen @BenFL]

@KemonomichiNL @5thofhennessy @TheAviationBeat I tried the varying & dizzying iterations of @Delta One. From the newer A359 (the trims looked dilapidated for a 5-year old aircraft at that time) to the ancient B764, B752 and the A332/333. They are all unimpressive lie-flat seats. Even the suites in the A359 is poor execution.

[FLBen @BenFL]

@5thofhennessy @TheAviationBeat Is there premium in @Delta? Delta One? The only premium about it is price tag. Quality is subpar with truly premium Airlines. Domestic first class does not count. It’s just an engineered perception of premium. There’s truly nothing to it. Just glorified refreshments & seats.

@MarioNawfal Been on this flight. Clocked in 18 hrs, 47 mins (from full throttle until moment the rear landing gear touched the ground). I watched movies, ate, used the lavatory, slept, woke up star gazed, and repeated 3x... Are we there yet? Good thing it's all business and premium economy.

[FLBen @BenFL]

@TheAviationBeat I guess lie-flat seats are unknown in Delta’s vocabulary for transcon equipment

[FLBen @BenFL]

@MaxRovensky @MicroSBs @TheAviationBeat I fly to Europe at least 3-4x a year. I always fly Turkish for their domestic business class that’s similar to US domestic first. Other airlines in Europe are merely economy seats with middle seats blocked off, plus catering. In US domestic first, catering is not always included.

[FLBen @BenFL]

@MicroSBs @MaxRovensky @TheAviationBeat JetBlue’s Mint is a lie-flat seat product on narrow body aircraft flying similar routes. @AmericanAir’s transcon narrow body has both domestic first and domestic business class (both lie-flat) that are way better than what @Delta is offering.

[FLBen @BenFL]

@MaxRovensky @TheAviationBeat It’s just for branding and marketing purposes so airlines can command a higher price for their seats. Airlines like @Delta does not really have equivalent products you expect to match the likes of Qatar Airways for example. The differences are noticeable in a number of ways…

[FLBen @BenFL]

@drockyyyy @TheAviationBeat Try SQ’s Suites on their newer A380... Or perhaps EY’s Apartment. Best of the best: EY’s Residence complete with your own en-suite shower, living/dining, bedroom with a real double bed (not just a folding airline bed), and a butler trained by Savoy in London.

[FLBen @BenFL]

@drockyyyy @TheAviationBeat This is not QR’s first class. It’s more like EK’s on the B777…

[FLBen @BenFL]

@TheAviationBeat Still will not beat JetBlue’s Mint or American’s transcon narrow body lie-flat seats... I feel like any flight longer than 4 hrs from when you sat to when you stood up to deplane deserves lie-flat seats…
