Ah yes, it’s finally summertime. Time to sit back and unwind. And for many of you, that means jetting off to a sunny locale.
It’s one of our busiest times of year, so we’re buzzing behind the scenes to ensure your travel experience is as seamless as possible. We’re increasing employee training and resources and also providing you with travel tips to help make your trip through the airport a breeze.
But we realized during last year’s busy holiday travel season that you – our savviest of travelers – hold some of the best tips around. So we’re turning to you again to provide tips that make your journey a day at the beach.
Tell us how you stay cool at the airport (and be sure to include the #DeltaTips hashtag) via Twitter, Facebook or by commenting here on the blog. We’ll select the best of the best (there’s always tough competition) and post them back on our blog on June 6. Plus, we’ll retweet our favorite (or just downright hilarious) tips throughout the week.
So tell us–what helps you fly through the airport during your summer getaway?

How to stay cool at the airport? Even though red is hot, the redcoats will keep you cool. When you’re stressed at the airport, there is no better sight than a redcoat. The redcoats have a wealth of knowledge and put that knowledge to work for Delta customers. The redcoats are excellent!

1. Arrive 2 hours prior to departure, so you don’t have to worry about the lines at check-in or security. With the extra time left between clearing security and departure, see point 2.
2. Relax in the Sky Club until boarding. Enjoy the snacks and drinks while using your laptop to connect to the internet to read about your destination. Take a shower if the Sky Club has shower facilities, especially if you’re about to fly on a long-haul flight. Don’t forget to leave the Sky Club and board your flight!
3. Look for vacationers on your flight and share what you’re planning to do. This works well with international flights. I went to South Africa last year to run a famous ultra-marathon (the Comrades marathon) and found 4 people sitting near me who were also running it.
4. Fly Business Elite.
