Damn Delta

Dear Delta Airlines,

Congratulations on having the most unethical customer-gauging policies in the travel industry.

Originally I was flying round-trip between Atlanta and San Antonio. I had to add on a trip to Miami and it turned out the most efficient way to get there was to fly through Atlanta anyhow, so I paid $201 to add on an additional Atlanta

Question -- is the suitcase small enough that you could get it through security, and then have a "helpful" Delta rep hand-check it for you at the gate, so it's waiting at the door when you deplane in Atlanta?

And yes, Delta sucks like a giant sucking thing. Hate 'em, although at this point, I'm not sure there's an airline that doesn't actively attempt to harm its customers anymore.

Unfortunately my suitcase is freakin' huge - I was going to be traveling for a week through different temperature zones.

I know I'm really overreacting, but the principle of the thing just pisses me off.

How about shipping your suitcase? Yes, it's one more thing to do and you would have to pay for it but if the cost is less than the fee it might be worth it. And it might be worth it just to not give the airline anymore money. (Apparently this is the big thing, especially for overseas travel, as I am seeing on lots of websites as I research my next trip.)
