Where should I live..Colorado or Tennessee?
I'm getting advice from everyone. All friends and family, and of course myself. However, I'd like to hear what other people think. ~Right now, I live in Scotland. I came here to visit and I fly back to JFK (New York) in a week. But where do I go from NY is unknown. I technically have no home. So I have 2 choices. A. Go to Memphis. I have a grandmother there, and she says I can stay with her. I don't know if any of you have been to Memphis, but other than the food...nothing good comes out of there. And don't say Elvis, because he's from Mississippi. His house is in Memphis which is surrounded by the ghetto. B. Go to Colorado. I moved from Colorado to Scotland. I have no where to live in Colorado but I may have a chance at a really great job there. And we all know with the economy these days, it's very hard to get a job. I'd like to say I currently do have a job, that allows me to work from 'home'. But I want stability. I found a girl on Craigslist that is needing a roommate on April 1st. Now for $$$. I have $550 on me for my trip. Let's think it out. A flight to either CO or TN would be roughly $150-$200. Rent with the girl on April 1st is $350. A hostel would be $30 per night. I might be able to convince her to let me move in early. Let the comments flow in. .. Please and Thank you :)

COLORADO IS THE BEST PLACE ON EARTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS WARM IN THE SUMMER AND COLD IN THE WINTER!!!!!!!!!!!!! THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WOULD LIVE IN GOLDEN!!!!!!!!

For sure Colorado!!! There's sooo much to see and you can definitely enjoy plenty of all four seasons, besides in Memphis there's a lot of humidity and that is a bummer!!! You should try to live anywhere in Colorado, but if you like something cool I'd live near downtown Denver, maybe on Capitol Hill (area is bounded by Colfax Avenue, 7th Avenue, Broadway, and Downing Street) where rent is cheap and there are always things to do. Or if you like something more sophisticated, I'd lease a loft in LoDo(Lower Downtown), there's one I know and it's called The Boston Lofts(on 17th Street and Champa Street), it's right at the heart of it all !!! Well, there's always the Denver Westword where you can find roommates or cribs - above all good luck to you and hopefully you find that right place to live and laugh.

Colorado for sure. I mean if you honostly think that you can get a better job in Denver than in Memphis than move to Denver. I'm not saying Denver is a better city than Memphis cause in my opinion it isn't but you should move to the place where you can get the most money.

Delta Airlines Ticket Refund
Delta Airlines Ticket Refund?
So I booked a $773.98 ticket through Delta for my girlfriend to fly round trip to Canada from Memphis to pick up her dog. We spoke with 2 different representatives at Delta to make sure the 105 pound dog would be permitted to fly once before the flight was booked and again after the flight was booked. Once in Canada my girlfriend called for a third time to make sure everything was in place for him to fly home. NOPE!!!!!!!!! They said the dog weighed too much and that there was a 100 pound weight limit. They even have on file for her ticket that she would be returning with a 105 pound dog. The corporate office was very very rude in resolving the conflict. The ticket was purchased on false information given by delta. They say that there was nothing they could do. We have spent many many hours on the phone. My Girlfriend ended up "getting the return flight reimbursed" before her return trip. Then we just called up Delta to check on the status of the claim. Denied!!!!!! Because she flew the return trip. The ladies at corporate straight up lied, and are now denying that they said they would reimburse us for the return trip. It was made clear on the phone that the return flight was being reimbursed for her inconvenience with the knowledge that she would be actually flying that flight home. Any ideas?

why call the third time?? you should have just brought the dog, and they probably would have let you since the ticket said 105pd dog
2 :
If you have a local consumer affairs advocate where you live (they are usually affiliated with a TV station), contact them. Or Small Claims Court.
3 :
There's not much you can do. As the consumer, you are ultimately responsible with adhereing to the airlines rules. Their rules are available to the public on their website.
4 :
You can write and complain and the more detail you have the better. Write down the day and time you called and the representative's names of whom you spoke to. That would hopefully strengthen your case. However Delta can deny just as AJ mentioned because they do have rules and it is up to the passenger to adhere to the rules. If you are lucky, you may be able to get a small travel voucher. One time I flew with Delta and they broke the wheels off my luggage and would only give me a $25 travel voucher.

I have a 2 hour layover, what do I do
I have a 2 hour layover, what do I do?
I am trying to visit someone in Arkansas, and the only flight I could get was one with a long layover. I've flown before, but never had a layover, and I am freaking out because I worry more than I should, and I don't know what to do when I get to the second airport. I'm flying from Chicago IL, to Memphis TN, then to Fort Smith AR. I am deathly afraid of missing my flight, I already missed my flight yesterday, because there was a problem with my ticket and they had to issue me a new one, but it took too long. So, I'm just paranoid, and confused, what exactly do I do when I get to Memphis?

Go to the gate for your next flight and wait. Two hours is not that long a layover. Bring a book to read.
2 :
When you get into Memphis just go straight to the gate where your next flight departs from. You should have plenty of time to get to the gate as long as the first flight is not delayed by too much. When you have found your gate for the connecting flight and you still have some time you can either stay there and read or walk around the area and maybe get yourself something to drink, go to the restroom or do some browsing in the shops there. Just keep your eye on the clock and you'll do just fine.

if you are going to memphis airport for 2 hours, you have time to grab a bite to eat, browse the shoppes, go to starbucks, read a book, etc. plus two hours is perfect becuase that will give you a little wiggle room if your first flight gets delayed (which happens). when that first plane lands, go to the monitors in the airport and see which gate your next plane departs from (what's written on your boarding pass may not be correct) walk around, grab a bite to eat or some coffee and about 45 minutes until you next plane departs, check the monitors and wait by the gate

First of all, calm down. Having a layover isn't a big deal, and Memphis isn't that big of an airport. Yes, it's a Delta/NWA hub but physically it's not as big as say Atlanta, Detroit, Minneapolis, New York-JFK, etc. Just the American and United operations at Chicago-O'Hare are bigger than the entire Delta/NWA operation at Memphis. Two hours is plenty of time for a layover. Let's put it this way. I flew up to Memphis and back this past December to buy something for my wife for Christmas and I got there on Northwest, spent about 45 minutes shopping, and had to sit in the gate area for my Delta flight back for 30 minutes. And that included going out through security to the ticket counter to nose around out there for the heck of it and put myself on standby for the Delta flight. So two hours in Memphis is actually too much time, but it's better to have too much time than not enough. Just relax, you'll make the layover and have time to shop, eat, or whatever in MEM.

2 hours is not a long layover (I've had 6 hours on a few occasions). In that time you can perhaps grab a quick bite to eat, or just watch other planes land and takeoff while you wait for your connecting flight.
