It is therefore, and since perhaps few know about this aerolíIn this report I am going to tell you details of the operation.ón of the aerolíne in Quito y cómo is your service on these flights.
To get warm, I share the official video of this report, where canán meetún más flight details, Don't forget to share it and join the channel YouTube if they have not done soún:
We started the trip back to Ecuador from Chicago, where did it happené some díknowing such an orderly and beautiful city. Given the distance from the hotel to O’Hare International Airport that requiresía 1 hour by subway approximately, I approachedé to the Terminal 5, where it operates Delta, get ahead of us with oneón of 2 hours.
¿Becauseé so long if the flight was sunéstic initially? Even if you start on a Sunday flightéstic, at your starting point of travel within USA review youán all your country travel documents and requirementsís final destination, más the suitcase that was checked until Quito.
For these trámites it is important to arrive with additional time. They checked my passport and only asked me if I compliedíwith the health requirements of Ecuador, what was filling out the form, they didn't even see it.
I will tell you a peculiarity of flying in éwinter times in the United States, más aún in the northern area such as Chicago, given the temperature of that dayía (-4° Celsius) and snow showers, the grandfatherón debió be subjected to the process of de-ice the de-icing, what it impliedó that takes us 1 additional hour check out process, you already imagine, the flight was delayedó.
There is not much to comment on the flight between Chicago and Atlanta.ás allá that the service was composed of a soft drink and snack of your choiceón between chips and cookies. There were no new developmentsáI know that the delay that contains themé above, so several people inside the planeón they were worried about their connections, me included.
We arrived at Terminal A gate 1, so it was totally far from my gate of the flight to Quito which was the E8, así how important I recommendón is to go immediately to your door, if you don't know atlanta, this airport is huge and getting from one terminal to another takes time.
remember that you bag Eastá checked until final destination, así Don't worry about it and you can use the Delta app to see dónde isá in real time for your peace of mind. Once out of the planeón ubícate dónde isás and follow the señaléethics, although it is a huge airport, Eastá very wellñalized and if you pay attention to itón, you are not going to lose.
If you have time to spare you canás grab a bite to eat at the food options available, shop duty-free or take it easy, but if it is not the case, the m formás ráask to go to another terminal is with the auto trainóairport nome, that passes through each terminal each 5 minutes on average.
This tour took meó since I got offé grandfather'són to gate E8 a total of 15 minutes, really little time if we take into account the distance. Be careful that alsoéYou can't walk from one terminal to another, but beá much más time.
The flight to Quito was fully booked in all 3 classes available. This Boeing 757-232 with winglets foodíN6713Y cylinder head with 22 años since his first flight on the airlineínea isá configured for 199 passengers divided into three classes (20 in first class, 29 in Comfort + and 15th in Económica).
the grandfatheróInside it is in excellent condition and its seating and interior were recently renovated, so it feels like you're boarding an airplaneón new, it doesn't look like a cláphysical Boeing 757, If you don't know about aviationóto thinkíso it's a new Airbus A321.
Now let's talk about the operationón. Delta operates one daily flight Monday through Friday from Atlanta at the following times:
- DL633 takes off from Atlanta at 2:55 pm and lands in Quito at 8:10 pm.
This schedule is very attractive to reach Quito, since at that time immigrationón and customs are not in high demand, which allows you to leave in less than 15 minutes to go to your home or hotel.
in the other direction, the flight lands in the strip of 5 am, making it the first international flight to land at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and sometimes you have to wait inside the planeón a few minutes until they open immigrationón. La operationón is at this time:
- DL632 takes off from Quito at 11:55 pm and land back in Atlanta at 5:15 am del díto next.
these planes, have a great advantage for the passenger, that offer WiFi service with coverage only within USA, but what if you don't want to pay, couldás send free messages.
If you don't knowían, Delta is an airlineínea traditional, so it offers a food service on board. In economic classómica in service isá made up of two options: chicken sandwich, cheese and vegetables or a selectionón of cheeses más elecci drinksón.
Before or during the meal or if you cannot sleep, seat screens offer a great optionón of skinípremiere asses, clásic, series, múphysical and including televisionón live. An additional point in favor of the user.
A pleasant experience flying again with Delta, and it is understood whyé It is one of the best and más valued worldwide for their service.
¿Do you want to know somethingún additional information from the airlineíline or flight and that I did not mentioné? I read them in the comments or networks.
Hi Nicolas, In a few days I will fly to New York and in the same way I have a layover in Atlanta, I would like to know if I have to go from the international terminal (that I imagine that I arrived because I left from Ecuador) towards the national terminal, because the next flight (Atlanta- New York) it would already be within the same country, TRUE?
You have to check the information screen or the Delta app at that time to find out which terminal your flight leaves from, since in some opportunities the terminal of your international flight could coincide with that of the domestic one, It is very variable.
One of the best airlines in the USA without a doubt. Excellent client service. Hopefully we will see a reopening to GYE in the next few years. I was surprised by the service that on a flight of almost 5 hours did not have a hot service. thanks for the report !
I thought the same, I expected something hot, but I assume that if the flight lasted longer, they would give another superior service. Thanks for your input!
