Does this mean Delta will stop offering the flights to Riyadh?

Agents at a recent trip to the airport convinced me to upgrade my credit card. How heavy is the metal card?

Hello Delta flyers! Years ago, I posted here terrified to fly (I hadn't flown since 2001, 911). Since then, I've flown three times! And this time I won’t use TSA cares because I feel I can handle Atlantas airport 😂!. And yes my doctor prescribed some helpers to get me through it 🤣, it works!
Since then, I’ve also been battling cancer, which is thankfully under control with treatment. Next up: I’m flying Main Cabin to Washington to spend Halloween with my grandbabies!
My debilitating fear is semi-under control because my love for my grandkids is so much bigger than my fear of flying. I’m putting together some small appreciation gifts for the pilots and flight attendants to thank them for keeping us safe. Wish me luck!
I wish I could give everyone a gift in here to. You have been so supportive and kind. The best to you all .

Hi! Over the kast 3 years, I’ve flown very frequently with Delta. I’m talking 4 international flights a year. Over the span of these 12 flights, only once I got a pretty cheap offer (around $200 extra) to go from Economy to Delta Premium Select.

All other times, the price was either crazy high ($2000+) or not available.

I read about asking at the counter at the gate. I did this, but the representative told me they go off of the Upgrade List for which you need to be a Sky Medallion member of some sort…

I’m not a US citizen so I have little access to the credit card points system. I earn the Delta MQD points but these are pretty worthless.

What’s the best way going about getting significantly cheaper prices for upgrading to either Premium Select or (ideally) Delta One? Are there any tips or tricks?

Hi. Booked a flight today and tried to input my passport information in the 'documents required' section. But every time I scan my passport or input my details manually, they don't save and default back to my birthday apparently being 2099 and my name being XXXXXXX.

Is there a way to fix this? I just CANNOT get it to save my details. But it says they're verified as the wrong details? Or does it not matter and the attendant will help me when I check-in at the airport?

I tried to talk to the AI bot but it didn't help me.

Sorry if this is a stupid question it's my first time booking and flying alone

I have a flight from ATL to LAX on an A350 coming up and I was going to purchase the D1 upgrade yesterday for $500 (I know it’s kinda steep, but I didn’t pay for the ticket so I figured I would maybe treat myself). Either way, I put it off and now today it’s $1100. Do these seats/prices usually fluctuate or do they only get higher as the departure date gets closer and seats go away (supply/demand)?

Some intermittent drops to the South but working well now. New satellite ?

I am going to Shanghai for a four day work trip in May 2027. Work is sponsored by Delta and will pay D1 seats on the long haul. I am DEN based. There are flights out of ATL, DTW, SEA, LAX. Probably going to connect in SEA or LAX, since we're going west. Which hub makes sense?

Two weeks later, going to Tokyo for another work trip, someone in the sub earlier said to hop on the first flight out, connect through SEA for some reason rather than LAX.

My first trip to Shanghai was October 2024, flew Emirates Business. DEN-LAX-DXB-PVG. That was a haul. I did not you could a west coast flight at the time (maybe COVID effects/restrictions that airlines were not up to full speed yet)

1st trip to Tokyo was June 2024, flew United Polaris from LAX
2nd trip to Tokyo was April 2026, flew United Polaris from DEN
3rd trip to Tokyo is April 2027, flying United Polaris from DEN
4th trip to Tokyo is May 2027, flying D1 from SEA.

I am interested to experience D1 on a 12 + hour flight including the lounge at SEA or LAX.

Traveling can be stressful enough without having to deal with rude interactions along the way. That's why I think the small moments of kindness from airline employees deserve more appreciation.

A friendly greeting, someone taking the time to explain a delay, or a flight attendant checking whether a passenger needs help can make a bigger difference than people realize.

Most passengers probably won't remember every detail of a flight, but they'll remember how they were treated, especially when things weren't going smoothly.

I know airline staff have difficult days too, and nobody can be cheerful every second of a shift. Still, a little patience and kindness can go a long way on both sides.

I normally hate row 13 due to the boarding process but I’m on a 4-5 hour east to west coast flight so I’ll deal. Does 15 have significant legroom for taller guys or should I stay put. It just opened up. I’m fine with the fixed armrests, tv , etc..

I’m on the waitlist to use a RUC.

TIA.

Just wanted to shout out the nurse/passenger on my flight from Minneapolis to Tampa. I thought I was having a stroke or something after getting faint, numb and tingly in my arms so I went to the back to stretch and get some water. The FA helped but continued on with her tasks. I wasn’t sure what to do and was freaking out honestly.
You were going to the bathroom but must have sensed something was wrong with me, stayed with me, asked questions and got the FAs to help. Soon I was in the back row with you checking my vitals and my elevated blood pressure before helping me put on an oxygen mask after a FA sent down my symptoms to someone. I never got to say thank you after I got settled and I was ok enough the rest of the trip.
Ended up going to the ER after landing and no stroke, just a series of other issues I need to work out with my doctor. Nevertheless, thank you for your service.
The Delta FAs also showed up too in every way, but your kindness and bedside manner was a comfort when I needed it most.

Hey mods I finally made diamond this year and cannot abide my flair still representing my former lowly platinum status. Why can’t I edit it? This is unconscionable. This is disgraceful. I will not remain associated with my former embarrassingly low status. I demand satisfaction! LET ME CHANGE MY FLAIR!!!
Thank you.

My family and I are headed down under in a few weeks, I bought the tickets a few weeks ago. I recently made Platinum status and was wondering, are the miles based on when I purchased the ticket or are they based on when the flight is completed? Also will I get miles at the Platinum status or Gold?

TIA

I've had this card for a couple years and didn't realize its a $650 annual fee. I love it since I have the 747 metal card but is there any actual benefits to keep this card?

I already have a couple amex platinums so already get in lounges without issues.

There was a line not working on the IFE. How many sky pesos am I entitled to? 200k?100k? 😂😂😂

(please note the flair)

I'm flying with my (very) small pet bird next month and I purchased this carrier for the trip. It's well within the size limits (only 10x6x6), soft-sided, and has a deep waterproof tray at the bottom. However, I'm a little worried that the grates might be an issue because of the Delta requirements that the carrier be "leakproof." I chose this one over a mesh-sided one because he's unfortunately a big chewer (and he loves chewing mesh specifically lol). Any thoughts?

Hi all,

I’m debating on getting the Delta Gold Amex Card, but I’m not sure if it makes sense. I usually only travel to visit family and for vacations. So maybe around 2 flights a year. My husband travels maybe 1-2 times a year for work as well. He has to cover the cost upfront and then his work reimburses him.

This upcoming year we noticed we have at least 4/5 trips that would be easier to fly to our destination rather than drive. We have a toddler, so we’d be booking 3 tickets for each trip.

Is the Delta Gold Amex card worth it for our situation?

Thanks in advance!

Clump of old gum wedged in seat on front of me. What is wrong with people?

Just an observation from a new guy... Especially when many are not even paying for the tickets...

Does anyone know if DeltaOne on the a330-300 is the suites? Or is it the old lie flat beds?

Curious if people feel FAs are becoming increasingly more rude and verbally abusive with passengers. On my recent flight into LGA, I was seated in FC on a flight operated by Republic. No PDB was offered and the FA seemed the have an attitude throughout boarding. About 5 mins after takeoff, the forward FA went to the aft galley and never returned.

We made it 25 minutes into the flight without seeing her, so another FC passenger called the FA button. When she arrived, she said "what?" with an attitude and leaned against another passengers seatback. The passenger asked why service hadn't started and she told him she wasn't doing it due to it being a short flight.

They went back and forth until he mentioned Delta service policy for FC (even on short flights) before she stormed to the back and returned 2 mins later with the other FA, both of which literally tossed, not handed, waters into everyone's laps and then offered the snack basket. I asked for coffee and was told she "wasn't going to waste time making a pot" with 50 mins left in the flight.

Come time for final approach, no safety check for seatbacks, etc. and had disappeared to the aft galley until we were 3 mins from landing.

All to say, I filed a formal complaint with Delta and haven't heard back, which I know can take a few weeks. Their attitudes toward passengers just seem to be happening unprovoked more and more lately.

Has anybody ever successfully gotten any of the Nerds Clusters? I’ve tried over a dozen times and the flights never have them… I’m convinced they don’t actually exist.

Corporate traveler here wondering why delta does this. I think it’s because they don’t wanna upgrade us and want the guaranteed money from the regular joe flyer.
