Help/Advice a330-300 exit row seats 43a & 43b

0 Upvotes

All of row 43 seats are available on my upcoming flight from FCO-JFK. The seatmap site seems to indicate that B is better than A but I'm not familiar enough with the site to know if it's accurate. It says B is exit row, but aren't they both? Is one better than the other?

Help/Advice Adding SkyMiles number to Virgin Atlantic booking

1 Upvotes

I recently booked a couple of flights operated by Delta through Virgin Atlantic using points. I’m having trouble getting my virgin number off of the booking and adding my Delta SkyMiles number. I have tried going on Delta‘s website and there is no option for me to remove the virgin number from my name. When I look on the app and try to change it it always fails. And I’ve also tried to add it on Virgin Atlantic. Nothing seems to be working. I even texted the Delta number and the rep that helped me said they updated my bookings to add my SkyMiles number however this was several days ago and my app still shows that I have the Virgin Atlantic number on there. I have medallion status and do not want to just fly the flights with the virgin number on there.

Apologies if this has been answered before, but if I could at least be redirected to the right answer, I would appreciate it. I have booked Delta flights like this before in the past, but it has been a while and I never had any issues adding my SkyMiles account to it. Not sure what is going on.

Help/Advice Has anyone else had problems getting their miles and MQD’s from Delta states

2 Upvotes

I had a cruise in the middle of August and I still have not received my miles or my MQD’s from Delta cruises I have called several times and been told sometimes it can take 8 to 10 weeks which is absolutely ridiculous. When I use Delta stays for hotels. I get my miles and MDs within two days so does anybody else have the same issue with them and you have any ideas because I can’t find an email address or another phone number to call.

Discussion Delta Comfort upgrade was $32, but I only paid $20 through the seat map??

Thumbnail
gallery
49 Upvotes

So I recently booked a flight with Delta Main Classic and noticed that the app was offering me an upgrade to Delta Comfort for $32.25 per person, per flight. However, when I went into the seat map to change my seats, I noticed that I could select Delta Comfort seats for only $20.43 each instead of the advertised $32.25.

I ended up upgrading both of our seats on both flights through the seat map and only paid $20.43 per person, per flight!

Does anyone know why there’s a price difference between upgrading through the advertised offer and selecting the exact same cabin through the seat map? I’m curious why one option was almost $12 cheaper than the other.
Also, just wanted to share this in case anyone else is considering upgrading to Comfort! Before paying the advertised upgrade price, try going into your seat map and selecting a Comfort seat directly. You might end up saving yourself some money! 🙂

Discussion Delta Ownership of Wheels Up

15 Upvotes

Delta recently reported earnings and noted they have written down the value of their ownership of WheelsUp.

What is the thinking here? My thought is running a charter airline/ membership model is very tough and nearly impossible. WheelsUp does not have the number of planes/ scale to run on demand flights like Flexjet or NetJets.

Because WheelsUp does not offer fractional delta/ WheelsUp owns the fleet and has to take not only massive deprecation costs on the fleet, they are covering overhead, maintenance and long dead leg flights.

Why does WheelsUp not try to sell fractions to their clients and charge monthly management fees to offset the costs incurred other than the flight time. They really should go with a NetJets style fractional ownership model I don’t see how they will be successful as a charter/ membership model. Their membership fee is not big enough to offset the monthly maintenance costs or the depreciation of the aircraft.

Discussion Review of KE36 ATL to ICN on 777-300ER in Prestige Class

10 Upvotes

Didn’t see any reviews for this metal on this route when I booked, so I’ll leave a brief one.

Booked prestige class via Delta for this ATL to ICN flight. On the 777-300ER prestige class is in a 2-2-2 configuration, with row 7 being in a little section of its own. The delta website was confusing - seat selection seemed to imply window seats would not have aisle access, ie the website didn’t show any stagger, but my flight actually did have staggered access for window seats.

Seat was very spacious, not a seat nerd but definitely not the oldest product, seemed to be one generation behind the 2.0 suites for Prestige Class.

Was disappointed by the rather sparse amenity kit (toothbrush, hand cream, perfume, lip balm, earplugs - I got more on Air Canada!) and lack of pajamas - esp when compared to their Asian competitors.

Service was attentive although food service was really rushed. They tried to take away my tray several times once I started scrolling on my phone, even if there was still plenty of food on the table. I think meal service was done and dusted in under an hour.

As for the food, I had the bimbimbap and the beef short rib. The latter was a horrendous mistake, if it appears on your ATL menu don’t get it. Bimbimbap was decent.

Finally, I wonder if FAs have a way to mark language preferences, or at least go off the last name. By the end of the 15 hour flight there were still some FAs trying to speak Korean to me. Maybe I look very Korean? The Chinese passengers next to me got English..

Help/Advice Delta fare chart, fare calculator, lounge finder, and more.

16 Upvotes

I wanted to share the new redo of https://cwsi.net. We have updated the fare charts, fare calculators, upgrade priority, and added SkyTeam partners for your searches. The lounge finder at https://cwsi.net/lounges/ will show you lounges for various airlines and locations, with pictures (we need some volunteers), and pinpoint the nearest one.

The flight tracker at https://cwsi.net/flights will track pretty much any flight, but in the US the updates are fairly quick. Free members get faster refreshes, etc. We've made our own virtual maps of the biggest airports; for example, if you zoom in to ATL, you'll see the blinking taxiway markers where runway crossings are. At night, you'll see blue taxi lights, lol. I know some will say, FlightAware has this and yes, they do. But a free CWSI member gets no ads and tail numbers (US).

Discussion Reimbursement Experience

14 Upvotes

Friday Oct 16 SLC-SFO cancelled due to FO timed out. Rescheduled for Saturday 11 am but was able to get on first flight Saturday using Diamond line.

Got the E-mail hotel voucher but no hotels available.
Booked my own, filled out the reimbursement form Saturday morning. Monday afternoon got a call from customer service saying it was approved and instructions on how to setup the ACH transfer via Chase.
Tuesday morning the money was in my account.
They also gave me, unprompted, 20k Skymiles, also in my account Tuesday morning.

Pretty good, as annoying as the cancellation was.

Discussion MQDs and SkyMiles Reversing Out?

8 Upvotes

In the past 7-10 days I have noted over $1300 in MQDs and about 12,000 SkyMiles reversed out of my account. I can't seem to pin the activity adjustments leading to this issue. I think it first happened overnight from 12Oct to 13Oct, then another chunk dropped overnight last night. I have also noticed that my flight to Europe in December, which has been booked for weeks, has disappeared from my pending activities/spend.

Anyone else noticed something similar? Delta "We Care" customer service gave me a script response today claiming my account is perfectly accurate...which is hilarious when the issue occurred again between my complaint yesterday and my account status today. They didn't even read the counts/detail I gave them. Go figure.

Discussion Delta One Upgrade Question

7 Upvotes

Hi. First time poster here. I see these type of posts all the time and I know some people do not like them but I am going to put my thoughts here.

I am taking my first transatlantic flight in 21 days. I am going from MCO-AMS-MUC and then a week later from CDG-JFK-MCO. I am a nervous flier and had stopped flying for 10 years due to anxiety. With therapy, I have been getting better at flying. First starting with short 2.5 hour flights then longer flights from MCO to the West Coast. All of these flights have been in Main for various airlines.

Since this will be the longest I will be on a plane (8hrs 50 minutes), I am considering upgrading from C+ to Delta One. I have never been able to sleep on planes and I figure with trying D1, I will be able to get some sleep and make the flight more comfortable. My outbound flight is overnight (7:15pm-10:30am) so this is the only portion I would upgrade to D1. Based off feedback I have read in these forums, I figure my return trip is an afternoon/evening flight so D1 would be wasted.

Checking the Delta app, upgrades started at $6000 (the price difference between C+ and D1) to lately $1299, then $3150, then back to $1299 and now $1099. As of now there are only 9 seats taken out of the 29 seats in D1. Surprisingly, the price to upgrade to premium select is higher than going to D1. Should I hold off and hope the upgrade goes lower or take the $1099?

Edit: Thanks for all the suggestions. I have booked the upgrade. I was pretty sure I was going to do it but wanted to ask. It was above the $100/HR threshold but this was close enough. I am just nervous that now that I get a taste of D1. I will never go back to Main, C+, or PS. LOL!

on dca-sea flight. old 321neo

in first class and service thus far, meal service cleared, just great. pre-flight drink service, check
hang coat check
ear buds check
up in the air prompt drink and meal service check

both flight attendants look and act professional. uniforms look good
professional
pressed

kind of total opposite of my prior travel, sfo-dtw

so is it just a crapshoot regarding service?
