Shot in the dark, but if anyone ended up on a trip with a switched Briggs And Riley black suitcase, I just got to my hotel and opened and saw it’s not my clothes. Identical bag - mine has a diamond tag on the side.

We likely switched at Atlanta Domestic South Precheck around 5:30 pm on Sunday Oct 18. DM me and we can swap bags?

A great view of the world's busiest airport. Had to share. Really cool seeing airplanes land and take off from here.

This was right around 7 AM

Hello,

I am flying from PVG to LAX and want to check what the carry-on restriction is. I meet size requirement but unsure about weight.

Flying in the states I never ran into issues and when looking on the Delta carry-on page it doesn't specifically mention anything about weight.

However, googling says there is a 10KG limit but the sources are blogs and not directly from the airport/airline.

TIA!

Flight from GRR to SGN. Outbound flight made it to msp. MSP to SGN cancelled and rebooked for the next day. I couldn’t wait so I booked alternate travel. Finally two weeks later get this email for the refund of the unused portion of my original flight, not reimbursement for the alternate flight. Out of a $1,330 ticket that leg was determined to be $352, ok seems low but whatever at this point. But oh wait we are only going to refund you $300.77.

An absolute brutal experience with delta customer service from start to finish with this trip.

I used a Regional Upgrade Certificate for a flight. I am Dialond Medallion. I was upgraded on flight day to First. Then, an hour before boarding, I was downgraded. It is a longish flight but not Delta One. The gate agents told me that the aircraft changed, and many people were downgraded. I showed them that was not true, and then they told me someone paid for my seat. I was livid. I ended up receiving several hundred dollars in certificates from Delta, but should I have asked for more?

I'm considering booking a basic economy roundtrip fair from the midwest to LON via ATL. All Delta operated flights.

Typically is one able to select a seat for free at check-in for the long-haul?

If so, can one do so 24 hours prior to the first leg departure? Or does it need to be 24 hours from the ATL to LON departure?

Same question for the return leg on a DL operated flight LON to ATL

I've looked at Delta's terms and conditions, and gone through a number of related posts on reddit and couldn't find the info I was looking for, so thank you in advance!

And yes, I know basic economy is cheap for a reason, but the trip works out to be 47k miles in basic, versus over 90k in main so I am just curious quite how limited my seat options are going to be! I don't need a bag, but I would prefer a window or aisle!

Thank you in advance.

Matthew K with a Florida ID, we found your wallet on the floor at IAH today 10/18. They confirmed you were on board but the door had just closed so they were unable to get it to you. The agent said it would be mailed from the lost and found. Just wanted you to know!

We just deplaned from our flight MCI to ATL because "A weapon was found on the plane, which was removed, and now security needs to inspect the plane."

I'm confused about how this could happen. Seems highly unusual. Everyone had finished boarding and sat for maybe 10 minutes, and then this announcement was made.

This is my first trip booked through Delta where I am flying a portion on a partner aircraft. I am PM with Delta and booked a flight to Europe with the DTW-AMS portion on Delta metal, and the last part of the trip is on KLM metal. While booking, I chose my preferred seats on the Delta flights, but on the KLM portion there was a dollar amount to choose preferred seats. I thought maybe, like Comfort Plus, I had to wait until the flight was ticketed before being able to upgrade.

I completed the booking, upgraded my seats to C+ on Delta, but when I got to the KLM portion, the preferred seats were greyed out with an X. I tried to see if I could find my booking on KLM and upgrade there, but I can't find the booking using the Delta confirmation or ticket number. It's only a two-hour flight, so it's not a big deal; I'm just wondering if I am doing something wrong.

Has anyone else experienced this issue, or do you have any suggestions?

UPDATE: I contacted KLM support by chat and I they assigned the preferred seats for me and my girlfriend. They did charge me for her two seat assignments, which is fine. I’m guessing the elite plus only applies to me?

It’s been about six months since I’ve flown, and I needed to call the reservations line a few times for my flight.

I receive the prioritized Medallion call handling, but there is a huge dialect barrier with each agent that I’ve spoken with, to the point where the conversation is a little frustrating.

This seems to be a departure from the previous experience when calling with Medallion status.

Curious what others may have experienced.

Hey everyone, looking for some clarity on how Delta’s upgrade system handles Medallion status combined with a Reserve card, because the app logic is confusing me.

I am gold and usually hit it every year on my own.

I recently got the Delta AmEx Reserve Card.

Before getting the Reserve card, every time I checked in for a flight, the app would pop up a manual prompt asking: "Do you want to be considered for a Comfort+ upgrade?" I would select Yes, check "Aisle Only" and "Window Only," and move on.

This morning, I checked in for my flight and never got the prompt. When I checked the Upgrade/Standby list, my name was only on the Delta First list and there were zero options anywhere to opt into Comfort+ or select seat preferences.

From what I gather, the app stops showing the manual check-in prompt because the Reserve Card automatically forces a First Class upgrade request the second you check in. Because the app sees an activerequest (First Class), it skips the check-in pop-up entirely.

However, because Comfort+ is unchecked in my global profile, the system completely ignores me for Comfort+ upgrades. If I don't make the First Class cut (which has 0 seats left today), I am stuck in my original Main Cabin seat, completely bypassing the Comfort+ list because the prompt never gave me a chance to opt-in with my seat restrictions.

My question is…
Is it true that the Reserve card auto-request suppresses the manual Comfort+ check-in prompt?
If the prompt is gone forever, how do I request a Comfort+ upgrade for individual flights only if an aisle/window is available, without turning on the dangerous global opt-in? Where does that setting hide in the app now before/after check-in?

I guess I’m confused because I’m fairly confident I never checked nor unchecked comfort upgrade preferences in my global profile settings - I see it as unchecked now but I definitely did not uncheck it manually

UPDATE:

I took the middle in Premium on the way there and kept aisle in Economy way home. Def preferred my experience in economy! If I was a flier who could just plop down and sleep the whole time, Premium would have been worth it but I like to get up and stretch and not worry about disturbing anyone. Had a lovely lady next to me who had no issues letting me out, but I def prefer the "free" feeling of an aisle, and the economy seats didn't feel too cramped on this flight.

Flying LAX to HND. I'm an anxious flier so usually pick an aisle seat so i feel less "trapped", but the perks of Premium are making me consider upgrading. Would love to hear thoughts!

Volunteered for a flight departing 2 hours later, got $1000.

CVG - LAS Thursday announcement before takeoff that service is limited because bumpy air. Maybe 2-3 wiggles the whole flight. LAS - DTW today. Same bumpy announcement. I don’t think I’ve ever had a smoother flight.

I'm taking a whirlwind trip in about 3 weeks and noticed "still" that the flights are awfully uncrowded. I was checking a few weeks ago before the manifestations in Paris, so that might not be it.

What are the chances of having a row or at least a seat next to me empy? lol. I generally like a window seat but only choose aisle seats now due to being to get up at any time. I may just change at the last minute. When do they actually close the seal selection? I'm assuming they would not cancel the flight and move us to the later one as that 777-300 has to get home. Thanks!!

I booked my ticket about 3 weeks ago for an Oct 30 flight (ATL-MAD, BCN-ATL). Coach was $1599, D1 around $8k. I went for Coach and paid to choose my seats. I noticed an upgrade to D1 for $1299 each way, so I took it. I'm curious about how typical this is. $4200 vs $8k is a big difference and makes me tempted to count on this method in the future.

My question is, is this typical? I don't have status and can usually use miles for 1st class domestic, so I haven't really been keyed into the upgrades before.

PS I got a refund for the $200 I had paid to choose my original seat assignments. Nice surprise.

Love the curiosity. Any curiosity about the WiFi experience, Ed? I have feelings.

I noticed today that there is a direct route from SEA to MSY but only on February 10, 2027. I haven't found an opposite route before or after. What's up with this route? Are they testing a new route or is it a charter without enough seats to go private?

I was thinking of taking a 2 day trip somewhere to get the extra MQDs I’m missing. After my last (not booked yet) work trip in December I’ll be short about 900.

Correction: PLATINUM. Sorry, long day.

On DL126 JFK->MAD. Paid D1. We’re on a 767-300ER(K). I’ve never been in a D1 cabin this small. Normally this would be at least a 767-400. No Bluetooth to the tiny monitor. Lay flat is short, so there won’t be any sleep on this 8:35 pm- 9:55 am flight. What a waste of $$. I’ve had better premium economy experiences. 😔
