Our usual trips are in the Winter but we were told that we need to get away and not have it ski related and get a little time for ourselves. So, we thought the best thing would be to get away to Alaska and visit family.
We did start off the trip with a bit of delay, which included 2 hours on the tarmac due to the cargo hatch not closing, out of the Reno airport. The flight was supposed to leave 7:00 AM to LAX to SEA to ANC with a 5:00 PM arrival. We then were routed from RNO (leaving 2:00 PM) to SLC to SEA to ANC with a 2:00 AM arrival. When we arrived in SLC we went to Delta's Customer Service to get our flight from SLC to SEA to ANC changed to a direct from SLC to ANC leaving 10:00 PM and arriving 1:50 AM. Oooooof. At dinner we told our story to a Delta employee who invited is to the Delta Sky Lounge to spend out time...which took much of the sting out.
