They were probably biased against her, because she was a member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority.

Question. If WBurcham did not check a bag how will this little cache get home or is a party in order before returning home?

Finally got into ATL (nearly missed it as I underestimated the traffic on the Corredor Sur heading out of the city).... Flight was not too terrible, however, the scrambled eggs were almost like ice (I could stick my fork in them and the fork would not fall down as with not ice-cold eggs). But, other than that it was an all-around decent flight--I don't think I could've managed in Y--especially since the only food that they were selling were the snack-packs.

Now, off to MSP.... any suggestions when it comes to food choices at MSP?

Alas, I did have to check the bag on the way home BUT the priority tag worked like a CHARM at MCO. Bag was among the first 20 out (all priority bags too).

Alas, WBurcham was on Delta and not United (home of the 1Ks that stand on the sacred red carpet 30 minutes before departure to let everyone know they're a 1K; the gold boarding pass to let everyone else know that you're an elite and superior to their blue non-elite BPs and those snazzy red tags for priority bags and a boarding process where 1Ks/Globals/F board first, then PremEx/Star Gold, then Group 1 which is Premiers, because you need to let everyone know you're exact elite status - I mean a sacred 1K boarding at the same time as a Premier - )

That makes being a US GP all the more better (getting to that status requires a lot of humbling experiences on US, so naturally, I tend to feel entitled when I have the chance to be on UA)
