Continental Boeing B-737/800 WL

Detroit Airport, USA view map

EWR/DEN/Detroit/EWR
First time I flew on a B-737, with Winglets! I really noticed (if possible) a litle bit of more lift, climbing!
But the security and ground system of Domestic US carriers was pathetic! I changed my ticket, and they told me to board the flight. When I got inside the flight, they were more the 5 people standing!
Afterwards, they told us to leave and catch another flight! I've never seen that before!
I ended up having to fly not direct DEN/EWR, but trough Detroit!
Sure enough, they lost my suitcase!
When I went to look for it, it was on an huge pile of suitcases, right in the middle of the Terminal! Security? Less then 1 year after 9/11? A JOKE a complete joke!
