I'm going to CES thanks to a Christmas miracle. I've been flying Delta Airlines for over thirty years, back in 2001 I amassed a million frequent flyer miles and was accustomed to the perks of flying at an elite customer level. Delta's customer service agents were extremely professional and we conversed in a language that today's outsourced call-center personal have never learned.
I get my tickets on the Delta website, but of late it has been like a Vegas slot machine. Before 9pm on Christmas evening they wanted over $600 for an L class ticket from EWR, JFK or LGA to LAS, when I could see the empty seats on the flights I wanted. I got my ticket in my customary T class, but it took a lot of looking after I had resigned to myself that I couldn't afford go. I'm excited about seeing and experiencing the Consumer Electronics Superbowl. Hope to meet some cool people there among all the gadgets and glitz.
