Some other cool notes from the story:

  • Delta takes eight airbuses out of its fleet in October and converts it for NBA team travel, reducing the seating from 128 to 54, and dividing it into three cabins (players, coaches, and other staff/reporters with team)
  • The airline keeps profiles of preferences for each team, catering in specific foods or setting up meals differently.
  • Don’t think that teams want the hot young flight attendants. “You’d think they want the youngest and best-looking, but it’s not that way at all. They want experienced, well-spoken flight attendants with a professional attitude,” said Mr. Wernecke. “Teams are afraid of the 23-year-old beauty queen. They think only bad things can happen.”
