Delta Air Lines McDonnell Douglas MD 88 seat review by Jeff K #32267

Our plane was late arriving from the previous flight, but they really turned around quick. I was taking a short trip and didn't want to check my bag so I had a carryon. This seat is in the rear of the aircraft and boarded using zone 2. I was told when I handed my boarding pass to the gate agent that I had to check my bag because of it being a full that I had to gate check it. It was a bit irritating because there was actually room in the overhead compartments and I didn't want to have to wait for the bag at baggage claim. The flight attendant said they have a cut off point on bringing carryon bags to expedite the boarding process. Other than that I was really surprised about the amount of legroom I had. I didn't. Feel cramped at all. I was lucky though because the seat next to me ended up being empty and that game me extra room. Even though we left the gate 15 minutes late the flight ended up landing on time! I don't fly very often, but I have always had a geat experience with Delta! I'm glad they are my hometown airline :)
