i dont want to sound mean or anything, but i dont see why passengers with young children should get priority in the check-in/bag drop line, its part of the process and everyone has to go through it
it seems that a 1hour waiting/boarding time is pretty much standard, i came over to singapore from nyc and both flights were 1hour before departure (however, singapore airlines a380 so its more understandable that it takes more time to board)
i dont know about delta but at least with virgin atlantic and singapore airlines they bring the drink cart when there is a delay and everyone is seated, singapore airlines comes around with hot towels at the begining of the flight while your taxiing to keep you refreshed which id like to see on other airlines
and yeah it sounds like your food with delta was not close to acceptable, that is outragious that they would provide a child with just a fruit plate and no alternative
i can see that the american based airlines (delta, continental....) have been getting worse gradually, while if your traveling internationally many airlines are working to improve so that they can keep your business...virgin atlantic with their hospitality, singapore airlines with their flight attendants, entertainment, and great food even in economy (beef steak, mashed potatos and some other stuff for dinner, and egg fattita, hash browns, chicken sausage, fruit, for breakfast, and i am not a plane food person but i ate their meal like no tomorrow)
i am sorry for your delta experiance from what i have gathered they have a whole bunch of complaints and dont work to fix them......i suggest if you fly internationally use an international airline even if it costs a little more
