It was on at the terminal we were at in Las vegas, we were all the way at the end of one of them, I think it was c.... Dates 41 42 and 43.... They were in a row from left to right and we were scheduled for 42.... Right before that 41 was loading and yet the line started on the right Chris crossed 43 42 over to 41 causing foot traffic confusion, and yet the left side in front of gate 41 was relatively empty...... Eventually some Delta step did come out and assist but for about 40 minutes it was quite confusing and crowded

Last minute change to our terminal and gate made our well-planned departure hectic and less enjoyable experience. Luckily we were at the airport 2 hours before the scheduled flight. We were moved from Terminal 2 to Terminal 4 right when we arrived at the gate. Although Delta had a shuttle that allowed us to move terminals without going through security a second time, the shuttle dropped us off at the bevy of the terminal. We had to walk over 3 miles to get to the very last gate, and the moving escalators were out-of-order. It also did not have any bathrooms or fast food, even just hot coffee, nearby. After reaching our gate, my son who has asthma was sweaty and had to use his inhaler again.

The flight staff were polite, seats were comfortable, and we reached our destinations on time. This was my first time traveling first class since the pandemic. The difference in service was dramatic and made me seriously regret having paid three times more for a first class ticket. Specifically No Sky Cap lounge - One of the main reasons I traveled first class was to use the Sky Cap lounge since we were going to have to wait for our flight for several hours at PDX. PDX Sky Cap would not allow us to enter as first class passengers. The receptionist said we needed to have their American Express Card. Further the Las Vegas Sky Cap lounge is permanently closed. Food - Our first flight was early in the morning, so I thought no need to grab breakfast in the airport, I'm traveling first class. The only food we were served or offered between LAS and PDX was Biscoff cookies. Our return trip was the same. Seems the days of being served a hot meal in first class are long gone.
