My fiance is flying from Gatwick on Delta on May 4th. They had originally routed him to Atlanta, then on to Tampa. For some reason, they changed his route so his POE will now be Cincinatti, OH. I don't know if it will make much difference. I'm just hoping the passport patrol in Cinci are nice. I probably will not calm down until I pick him up from the airport and get him home.

I hope everyone has a happy flight and that May will get here soon!!

It was a nervy experience for me. I was fine until I was about to board the plane, then it all hit home that i was leaving good ol blighty! All that went away when I landed though, and I am loving it here in NY.

Oh yeah and it didn't help that I had two US Homeland Security guys come up to me in the HEATHROW departure lounge and ask me all manner of questions. Guess I looked nervous!

I've come through Cincy lots of times and it was my POE for the K-1. They were great. Took me about 2 minutes to get through Immigration!

Delta were great too. You now get a tub of Haagen Daaz mid flight, on top of two meals and three drink rounds! Wooo!

Deltas food is definitely a better airline food, I don't mind delta.

Cincinnati for me has been hell on one occasion and pleasent on another, its small there.but the hell time I had was with no visa, so it'll be fine!

I agree, I thought Delta's food was rather tasty. For the snack, about an hour before you land, they bring round this really scrummy veggie pizza. Mmmmn, pizza. :blush:

My husband will hopefully be flying into Phoenix on the 7th, but he bought a flexible ticket just in case. He's flying BA because they're the only carrier with a direct flight from London to Phoenix.

BA's food was yummy years ago, but now it's mostly inedible. You used to get tasty finger sandwiches and surprisingly decent tea as a snack, and the veggie meals were consistently good. Now every vegetarian meal I have on one of their flights tastes like charcoal and dirt, and the lovely finger sandwiches have been replaced by cold baps with a slice of half-frozen cheese and a sad greenish tomato. Blecth. I bring my own food now.
