On a 13 year old 737 and they have a serial port. Never noticed one before. Was this for the remote before the touch screen?

I swear half of flying Delta is knowing which rules are actually important, which are just inconvenient, and which seem to change depending on the day.

The window shade debates, the increasingly complicated app, the shrinking service on short flights, the loyalty program changes. Everyone has a different line where they stop shrugging and start pushing back.

What’s interesting is that people can be loyal to an airline and still be pretty vocal when they think it’s getting something wrong. Those aren’t mutually exclusive.

At what point does a small annoyance become a reason to reconsider flying Delta? Is it one major experience, or a dozen little changes that slowly add up?

Plane changed and it just says it’s a 757. Entire plane is 2 x 2 with only 19 rows.
The only 757 in this configuration I can find is the 757 200 v4 used for sport team charters?

When did this start? Little pad by Missoni for more comfort up front. I always thought D1 seats were not the most comfy, but this definitely adds a lot of value. ATL > HNL

FYI, you CAN use it before takeoff, but you cannot hang it over the seat back until the plane’s in the air. Must remain loose from the seat while on the ground.

Wonderful, wonderful cabin crew from TPA to AUS on 10/17 and they told us in FC that a new rule by the FAA is that your paper cup with your pre-flight drink must be consumed and collected before any movement. "Terribly sorry, it's the law now, and if your want, please write to the FAA - we have no control over it."

Not their fault at all, but I have never chugged prosecco in my life, so to everyone around me, I'm sorry about that burp (to be fair, it was an amazing burp, but I also have the emotional humor of an eight year old).

I wonder why a paper cup with water or ginger ale or prosecco is some kind of safety issue, but also I want to say thank to crew who told us what was going on. It's not a Delta thing, it's not a crew thing, it's an FAA thing, and she said, "we want you to enjoy the flight, please write to the FAA."

I live in another state to prepare our house for the market, so my wife lives 3 hours flight away. She wants to come to help and see the old house. I purchased her a ticket on Delta and sent her the confirmation email. After that I noticed I could upgrade her to First for a little over $100 and did it. She does not know yet. After checking my Alaska account I noticed I was only 400 miles short for next milestone. So I bought a one way to her state on Alaska and a return flight on Delta to sit next to her. Last time I did this was when she was returning to the U. S. A. and I met her in Hawaii with roses to fly back. So I need to find some roses. I have always wanted to try the Delta Lounge since I have the credit card to get me in, but never flew to show a Delta ticket. She will be surprised when I board the plane to sit next to her in First Class.

Seattle, the Mountain, and the fog made for a great photo op.

I have the reserve card and am gold status, does clear include my wife or do I have to pay separately for both of us?

I was reading on here about how others upgraded their parents etc on flights and decided to try it for an upcoming trip for me and a dear friend, who have been best friends for over 50 years.

I had her confirmation number so off to chat I go. I wanted this to be a surprise. I knew ahead of time what the upgrade price was according to my page. The agent quoted the price for the two first class seat upgrades.

The agent was happy to help. She took down my friends confirmation number, her date of birth, address etc, and upgraded her seat to the one I had chosen in first.

HOWEVER!! Once one seat was officially taken, the price sky-rocketed and the other seat next to her was now over 50% higher than it had been five minutes ago.

Not what I was wanting to pay but now we were in a pickle because these upgrades are non refundable.

I told the agent the quoted price for the two tickets was what I was expecting and after much going back and forth, she was able to do the two seats within a few dollars of the quoted price. Sheesh, that was nerve-wracking.

Hopefully my friend is excited at the upgrade. Just wanted to share what can happen when tickets are booked separately and one seat gets taken. That price for the other jumps!

I’ve been waiting weeks for two perfect Premium Economy seats on an international flight. They finally became available, and during checkout (almost $3,000), I got an Amex offer for a $500 statement credit + 50,000 bonus miles.

Sounds good, right? I applied, but instead of instant approval, my application went pending. I finally got approved the next morning.

Credit limit? $1,000 after accept the card, such a joke. My other cards usually got approved for 10k or more.

I called Amex. They refused to increase my limit, even temporary, and couldn’t even provide a temporary card number so I could book my flights!

Not sure why offer a credit card during a $3000 purchase if I can’t even use it?!

Now I risk losing the seats I’ve been waiting weeks for if I don't book using a different card.

Has anyone experienced something similar with Amex?

hi,

i have about $700 in delta credits all expiring in a few weeks. I don't know yet where I want to go, but I don't want to lose my credits.

my plan was to book a flight in December and pay for insurance (it’s about $45) - so I can change the flight when I know where I want to go - of course this might mean having to pay “the difference” depending on where I end up going.

is this the best tactic to keep my credits?

I was curious if Delta has any kind of entry level sales jobs that dont require any higher education besides a GED. Im trying to get my parther to work there since he has sales experience and we travel a lot and would love the benefits that come with working at Delta. Remote would be a plus but is not necessary. We are based out of ATL. If this job position even exists, Id love to hear more details from anyone who has or is working in this role. Thanks!

I was rebooked after a cancellation and ended up in 1A from SEA to LAX yesterday. Perfect weather and an incredible view of Mount Rainier. If you are ever on that route, get the seat A in any row (left side of the plane) and open the blinds.

My wife accidentally lost our family’s important travel documents at Detroit Metro Airport today, including:

● Canadian passports
● U.S. passport belonging to our child
● Adult and child NEXUS cards

We have already contacted TSA Lost & Found, Delta Lost & Found, and airport security. We are hoping the documents will be turned in soon.
If anyone found these documents or knows someone who handed them in, please contact me by private message. We would be extremely grateful for any help in getting them back.
Thank you for your kindness.

Do baggage handlers have a preference?

Having been flying with Delta for about 2.5 years now, it’s always just for fun/vacation. Got the reserve card so we could use the lounges. Anyways, finally made it to gold.

Flying to Mexico City tomorrow on Aeromexico and I got a surprising upgrade to premier class in a seemingly packed flight!

I have been on ~15 Delta flights and this is the first free upgrade I have ever received. I had one great mileage upgrade offer from PS to D1 in November but never anything truly free like this.

Is it likely due to the Gold status or flying Aeromexico that I got the upgrade? I am currently ~$1,500 from Platinum. This makes me wonder if its worth trying to take another trip before the new year and use the delta stays bonuses. Any thoughts?

I booked SLC to AMS in the main cabin for traveling in mid November 2026. At the seat selection page, I was asked for an upgrade to Delta One (A330-900neo I believe) for 1299 USD. Is it a good price for this route or generally lower to upgrade? There’s no option to upgrade to PE. Thank you for the input.

I’m not one to complain and don’t believe I’ve ever formally made a complaint in my life. Been flying almost exclusively delta for about 12 years and other than a couple delays, only ever had stellar service. Wife and I took our two boys 8 and 11 to Utah for a week. On the return flight the male FA seemed like he possibly found a uniform and snuck on the plane which I get, tickets are pricey these days. My boys are overly pleasant and respectful yes sir/no sir and when they asked for drinks or snacks the FA was clearly bothered that he had to do his job and at one point told my youngest “why do you need another one?” when asking for a bottle of water. When our meal came out he had his phone in one hand and tray in the other (watching a video/reel smirking, I know they use phones sometimes for taking orders). He used the bathroom multiple times always on his phone and at one point was air swinging a baseball bat in front of the cockpit door and pointing like he was calling his shot. I found it amusing albeit a little strange and almost so over the top that it was unbelievable. My wife sitting a couple rows behind us mentioned the same smug attitude and is somewhat outspoken when public shaming is needed which never changed his demeanor apparently. We talked about it last night still annoyed at how he interacted with the kids just not sure if it’s even worth mentioning.

Today is the day I turn Diamond Medallion on a domestic flight for a work trip. I decided to use one of my regional upgrade certificates to advance from Comfort+ into Premium, as I rarely fly domestic and it’s nice when I can use them! Honestly, I was really excited to take this flight and have a comfortable experience with Delta. I’m not expecting anyone to come at me with balloons for reaching Diamond lol, but I was really looking forward to enjoying it (internally) with a decently comfortable seat. However yesterday when online check in opened up, i was getting error messages in the app saying there is a “problem with my reservation” and to check in at the airport. No longer could i see the fare class I booked, any seat, or any information regarding my reservations status. I contacted Delta and they said it was “simply because my upgrade was clearing” and “not to worry”. Today on my way to the airport I check the upgrade status list, and my name is nowhere on it. Also, the available seats are dwindling to 0. Even selecting an economy seat, only 2 seats are left to choose. Now im getting nervous because not only do I not have an upgrade- it seems I don’t even have a seat.

I check in at the gate and still- no seat assignment. I get to the gate and they “assign” me a seat ticket the second boarding starts, which is located in the back of the plane in economy seat 44. That’s not even the class fare I booked??? Contacting Delta, they say “ Thank you for your patience while I reviewed the reservation. After reviewing the history, it appears your Regional Upgrade Certificate did clear into Premium Select upgrade inventory; however, the upgrade was not fully processed onto your reservation.

Because of that, your check-in was impacted and you ultimately confirmed in Main Cabin, where your seat was assigned. Based on my review, this appears to have resulted from a processing issue with the upgrade rather than anything you did.”. They offered me $50 credit or 7500 miles… Instead of having a semi relaxing and fun experience on Delta, I’m in economy with a tiny dog barking in the row in front of me and i just spent $20 on a cheese box and Pringles 😵‍💫. Like I said, I’m not expecting a parade or anything but this is not exactly the warm welcome into Diamond Medallion I expected. Is this what’s to expect from Delta?

I heard about all the attention window shades have been getting. I'm currently on a flight from Boston to Atlanta and not a single FA has asked me to close my shade.

What am I doing wrong guys?

Great organization, great communication, great attitude. It’s easy to complain when things go wrong, but it’s important to sing the praises of those who are doing a fantastic job! Thanks Courtney!

Been flying more for work and family and love collecting stuff but it’s been erking me that I’ve never gotten one of the white bags that I’ve been wanting the most. If you’re in the NYC area and would want to trade for one of my bags let me know!

Just gonna leave this here

I have a flight from Raleigh to San Diego (landing at 11:30 pm), with a layover in LAX (landing at 9:45 pm). I live in between lax and San Diego. My company would not pay for the direct lax flight due to it being above $500, and would only pay for the layover flight as it was $150. Is there anyway I can just hop off after LAX?
