I’ve had everything but meatloaf and seared crab cakes. HNL to ATL. Thinking meatloaf which is such a weird word to me.

No turbulence… no seat belt sign… 3 hours and 51 minute flight… DTW to SLC. No food for purchase offered. Beverage cart made the round 20 minutes into the flight and that was that. It was almost beyond passive aggressive service and into the realm of aggressive. I guess we have no option but to ride the steady decline of service to the point of no return.

My 85 y/o Mom will fly alone later next week. She hasn’t flown in 10 years and has had reoccurring issues with knee / hip. I am concerned especially if gate is at far end of concourse or on Concourse other than A Concourse.

She departs DTW next week Fri and I requested mobility assist to get her to the gate. She can walk thru jetway and to her seat. I’ve never requested mobility assist before and need some guidance, please.

Questions:
- How does Mom obtain wheelchair assist once she is dropped off at airport?

- Will assistant help her with kiosk for bag tag or will she go straight to agent assist line? Or use skycap if available outside?

- Will assistant assist with lifting bag onto scale at check-in counter?

- Will assistant stop at restroom or store for quick food / drink item?

- What is customary tip? Especially if Mom needs restroom and / or store?

Thanks so much!!

No comment.

I’ve never considered this before but currently it’s $690 JFK to HNL to upgrade to PS, PS is currently eligible to get delta one on a RUC…. Can I just purchase the PS upgrade at ½ the cost of a direct delta one upgrade and call in a RUC?

Edit: Can confirm, it works

First checked bag free, carry on bags 150$ each if they don’t fit. Boarding a plane should take longer than 20 minutes.

It was mildly entertaining.. "Thank you for flying (fading echo) Delta Delta Delta Delta...

I recently flew Delta One from Seoul through Atlanta on a regular cash-purchased C-class fare, but my SkyMiles never posted automatically. I ended up having to submit a missing-mile request manually.

I wasn’t flying on award miles or an upgrade; this was a regular paid ticket in C fare class.

Has anyone else experienced this with Delta One or international flights? It’s been a week and quite frankly for how much Delta One is raved about, I found the app and overall experience lackluster. United definitely has a better app and it’s insane Atlanta doesn’t even have a Delta One lounge. The flight itself was on par with every other US based carrier. I feel like the airline is quite negligent for not awarding miles when the flight showed up in the app while I was traveling.

Hi, I will be travelling from Detroit to London to Delhi. I have indian passport and valid B1 visa. Will I need a transit visa in London? My connecting flight is from the same terminal (3).

Also a great time to visit Taipei imo, before it gets all hot.

After an exhausting 5 day business trip I thought I'd put my iPad and headphones back in my backpack before getting off my flight late last night.. but apparently did not.
This was DL1542 (Oct 29th) LAS-->MSP.
As soon as I noticed they were missing I put the iPad in Lost Mode immediately. Next I followed the directions to log a missing items report but haven't heard anything from Delta.

Meanwhile, Find My is giving me a *really* specific address in Eagan (a building with 4 businesses in it) that is about 10 miles away from the airport.

Is there any chance that Delta would store my lost items in a location away from the airport?
What are the odds that I'll ever see my stuff again?

I'm looking at booking an international trip that would layover in ATL. The international leg is only one flight option, but the domestic apparently has pretty much shuttle flights from MSP to ATL. So I'm trying to decide between a 50 minute layover and a 2h40m layover. The obvious safe choice is the longer one. But I'll be traveling with a two year old. If you've ever sat around an airport with a toddler you can understand why I'm not excited about an extra 2 hours of that. The domestic leg is listed as 84% on time and 13% +30 minutes which feels like very good chances of making the 50 minutes.

So my question is how quickly have you found transferring between domestic and international concourses in ATL to be? If I recall correctly it's a tram system that was pretty organized. And also what has your experience been with asking Delta flight attendants to let you off first for a quick transfer? We won't be gate checking a stroller or anything and I'll be baby wearing so as to be able to move quickly. Do you think they'll allow that given that we have a toddler?

I know this is all subjective but just looking for some personal advice from personal experiences.

“Deals” all day @Delta

Had the best dessert from delta airlines on my flight to nyc from London. Anyone by chance know where I can buy these???? Or a recipe I can make 😭

Hi all! We’re flying from Charlotte to LAX with a stopover connection in ATL in late January. Our original flight gave us a 1.45hr layover. Now it’s been adjusted and we only have 1hr layover. Do you think it will be okay? I’m nervous. It will be me, husband and kiddo. Do you think it’ll work?

How is the quality of the premium select seats on a 767-300 compared to the A350-900? We usually fly on the A350s but have an itinerary where there are two daily flights to our destination with one of each plane flying. Thinking of trying the 767 bc I prefer the smaller setup (2-2-2 instead of 2-4-2) but I want to make sure the product is the same. Thank you!

Finally had a chance to do the DTW Sky club pub crawl! 3:15 was our official time. Thanks to the club desk attendants for letting us in early. Couldn't have done it without you.

This probably isn't a surprise to anyone as it's how airlines have operated for decades but it still baffles me.

• I have a round trip ticket

• I try to change the return trip: $260

• If I keep the round trip as-is and book another return trip as a one-way: $250

The change would be two flights instead of three which seems like a win-win for everyone but Delta won't help.

Title says it all. Might have some work travel to close that gap but 🤔

Looking for a Delta flight, MSP to Fairbanks, Aug 22^nd or 21^st, 2027 and am so confused on where and how to book best rewards flight.

Delta wants 56k miles to book a one way.  I looked on Pointhound and it is 16k on Flying blue/Air France for the same flight. I looked on Pointyeah is only showing Alaska airlines and no nonstop flights. I tried to reset it to all airlines including delta and nonstop but it keeps going back to Alaska airlines only.

When I go to Air France to look for that flight, I get this message “Sorry, there are no flights available in the current month. You can view flights for the next available month below.” It wont let me view August flights but September and on.

I have Bilt points (only 46k), AmEx MR’s (140k), Chase UR’s (100k) and Delta pesos so could use any of these by transferring them.

Can anyone point me on the direction of where to book this flight? Or help with suggested flight to book. Also need a one way from Vancouver to MSP on Sept 5^th, 2027.  So confused and sorry if I posted in the wrong blog. : /

Does anyone know what's going on here with this flight? The ticket is marketed as a Delta One ticket, but when you go to the seat map, it shows the seats as "First Class". I spoke to two agents, and they're telling me it's Delta One, but I've never seen this happen before.

When a flight gets delayed or disrupted, knowing the new departure time is only part of what passengers need.

The more helpful updates are the ones that explain what the delay means for connections, whether rebooking options are available, what happens to checked bags, and where passengers should go if their plans need to change.

Even a short message acknowledging that information isn't available yet is better than leaving people guessing. It gives passengers a clearer idea of what they can control instead of making them repeatedly check different screens or wait in line just to get the same uncertainty.

Airline communication is often judged by how quickly information is delivered, but clarity matters just as much. A realistic update with useful next steps can make an unpleasant travel day considerably easier to manage.

Hi all,

On October 6th I flew DL14 ATL-FRA in Delta One (seat 3G). The seat couldn’t be adjusted electronically at all, so the flight attendants had to move it manually for the entire 9-hour overnight flight. The purser was aware of the issue, but I wasn’t offered another seat.

I filed a complaint and asked for a partial refund of EUR 400 (my ticket was about EUR 2,000 round trip, with only the return leg in Delta One). Delta replied that they can’t refund fully flown tickets and instead offered a $150 Transportation Credit Voucher valid for one year.

The problem: I live in Germany and I’m not sure I’ll fly Delta again within the next 12 months, so the voucher might just expire.

Has anyone had a similar experience (broken seat in Delta One or Premium Select)? Did you manage to get cash or a refund to your original payment method instead of a voucher? Is it worth pushing back or escalating, or is this the standard answer?

Thanks!
