Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Due to the U.S. Federal government shutdown that went on for 35-days during December-January, the aircraft could not get certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in time for the start date.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>As a result, the inaugural flight was pushed one week to February 7.<\/p>\n<p>\nI booked the inaugural flight on the original date when it first came on sale in October.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 When the flight moved,\u00a0<\/span>Delta was generous enough to refund my tickets without a penalty.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>On my new ticket, I booked the inaugural A220 departure from LaGuardia: a 6 am Delta Shuttle flight to Boston (BOS).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>After returning to LGA (not on the A220), I booked an afternoon A220 flight to DFW.<span
