Delta is at it again. Booked my flights August 15,2025 for June 2026 Safari. Delta Houston Atlanta JNB. Well today I just noticed Delta has cancelled the Houston Atlanta legs going and coming back. Moved me to a Standby list no seat assignment on flights with so short connection times no way I can make it and guns sure won’t. I know it’s still months out, but sure glad I booked thru Travel Express and Jennifer will sort it out come Monday. This is reason I use a travel agent. So you all might want keep an eye on your flights. I usually check every couple days see nothing has changed.

Delta just did the same to me, they changed the times on my return flights! I now have a short layover of one hour for my Minneapolis to Fargo flight.
 
Delta is about as unreliable as a night of chili and beer, you never know the exact outcome but its never good.
I used Delta for the first couple times over and after going through hell both times we changed to United. Still not perfect but around 6 or 7 trips with them and no issues with guns or serious changes. Knock on wood

I flew Untied one time in 2021, real bad experience in Newark and with flight crew. Was flying business and it was terrible service and long waits at times. I swore I never would do United again. So it’s Delta and will put up with whatever happens.
 
These are traumatic times. I have a safari booked for August and I will be surprised if I am able to make it. Actually, I'll be surprised if the whole world doesn't go up in flames by then. A special thank you to those who voted Republican in 2024. Actually, there a few sensible GOP in D.C. Two I think ... and both refuse to run again this fall. Don't blame the airlines. Blame those who made their mark at the ballot box.

Let's keep politics out of this forum!
 
I’m currently watching two big flights, one domestic and one international, coming in June and again July. One of reasons we are having to “watch” these flights for delays, cancellations or major and costly disruption is not the weather it IS politics!
 
Delta has gone to crap and Alaska airlines a while back .They lost my dogs on both Delta and Alaska airlines .They will tear your luggage to pieces too saw lots of danaged bags .Its like gorillas who hate to work there .Delta is based out of atlanta which is the worse airport in the country .
 
One AH member here told me this last Monday that he was attempting to book a flight on Qatar for his Safari in September to Zim and the fare for a Q suite would be $12,500! I think he had a coronary! LOL

Delta has even been higher then that. Right now they want almost $5,000 for a upgrade from premium select to Delta One for just the flight from Atlanta to Johannesburg!

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
