I feel your pain. Believe me. My dad works for Delta (stupid fuckers), so I know alllllll about this crap.
As someone who was raised flying standby, I've learned that you never fly anywhere near Christmas, unless it's Christmas day. Never Thanksgiving, never any major holiday, and always leave a three day window before you need to get there and before you get back.
And the whole having to check in at the other airline thing is totally retarded. The entire industry has gone to hell in a handbasket since they deregulated. *huggles*
