AntonellaFlew with IberiaJul 2024
London makes you take out every single toiletry even below 100ml and if they don’t all fit in one tiny bag, they make you throw it away. Check everything in your checked luggage!
ElizabethFlew with DeltaMar 2024
Delta is my go to airline when I fly they have never lost my luggage or made me miss a connecting flight. The one time I missed a connecting flight because TSA was shorthanded and border entry lines were massive Delta booked me on a new flight the following morning and put me in a hotel for the night. 95% of Delta employees are friendly, cheerful and appear to be happy to to take time to help their customers.
