FL to NH
 
I recently did a round trip from Florida to Wolfeboro. First trip was 13 hours and second trip was 30 hours. The usual time is 6 -7 hours. I went through Atlanta on Delta. Never again.
The total stories of each trip is 2 pages each so the short version is bad equipment, bad reschedule, hotel in Atlanta at my cost, Atlanta confusion and a rental car drive across Florida. 1st trip cancelled flight rerouted through NY in the middle of the strike.
I actually met a family that had 3 children who had been in the Atlanta airport for 2 ½ days after holding confirmed tickets but were bumped. They missed a sisters wedding. Ft. Myers is over sold for weeks by Delta. All airports in the southern part of Florida are booked. I know Southwest has started a new service from Manchester and Jet Blue has no-stops from Boston. US Air has flights.
I hope some of you can enjoy some of the winter warm of Florida and don’t have a problem traveling.
I still love Wolfeboro and the family at Christmas.

US Airways
 
I travel to Ft Lauderdale every year, for my annual cruise to Key West. I never had a problem with USAirways from Manchester, NH. Maybe because I avoid the weekends and travel midweek. Sometimes non-stop is cheaper. But most of the time, there is a stop at Charlotte or Philly.
I heard similar complaints with people that fly Delta. Big delays in Atlanta.
I will be flying Delta for the first time to Denver in Jan. I hope I don't experience any problems.

Winter flying
 
Don't forget, if your connecting flight is delayed or cancelled because of weather, the airline doesn't have to pay for your room. So in the winter, I try to use direct flights, at least if you get stranded it's at home or your destination. I've spent more nights than I can remember in Covington or Atlanta because of airline snafu's or bad weather.

If you have time to spare, travel by air.
