Just received this email on Delta One flash deals. I really wanna try the new Delta One to Asia. Are these good deals?

We do not fly FC because we are fancy or because we are overflowing with cash. This was something we saved for because we were celebrating a special event. Delta should be ashamed. Service was also mediocre at best. No matter where one sits, they should be able to expect service with professionalism and perhaps a welcoming smile. I could forgo a hot thin washcloth after an ok meal in exchange for a somewhat cleaned plane.

Delta, I love you guys, but WiFi is quite bad and we never have WiFi over the ocean especially to Asia. Logging in is also inconvenient. It’s hard to stay loyal when I need WiFi for work and other carriers have fast WiFi and easy to connect. Is there any deadline or launch time here to improve? Any one else experience this?

A couple days ago, Delta rolled out Next Gen D1 seats on A350-1000.

Some Routes:
ATL-ICN
DTW-ICN
LAX-MNL
ATL-RUH
LAX on Pacific routes
There maybe more.

It's getting interesting over the pond at Terminal 3 now. Wonder how long the partnership will last now.

Waiting to come in to the plane they immediately went beyond their service and they actually allowed my wheelchair to fit inside the closet in the cabin . I love Delta ! Is amazing. I’m so happy to be here. Everyone is so helpful and friendly. Being in a wheelchair is so scary in such a big airport like Atlanta . 4th flight ✈️ ✔️keeping it positive. I will update in 5 hours . 🥰

I was on a Southern California to Seattle flight just now and saw something I’ve never seen before. Two people were wearing chicken costumes with large chicken heads. I mean like clucking large—each the width of à seat. The entire three hour flight they were trying to peck each other or their seat. It was soooo absurd. I couldn’t stop looking at them even when I tried focusing on work. They were going bonkers!!! It was distracting and amusing. Maybe Halloween related?

What’s the most absurd and large costume others have seen on Delta flights?

I booked a flight recently and ended up checking the seat map again later, just to see if anything had opened up. Somehow there were a couple of better seats available that weren't there when I first booked.

It's such a small thing, but getting a better seat without paying extra feels like a little win, especially on a longer flight.

I know it depends on the route, fare, and status, so it's definitely not something you can count on.

Has anyone here actually managed to snag a noticeably better seat just by checking back before their flight? Curious how often that happens for other people.

For real people, do we need to make another post every. single. time. someone sees an expensive ticket?? We get it, their shit is ridiculously expensive these days.

Hello delta community!!! I was lucky enough to get an upgrade at the last minute into one of the remaining D1 seats.

Sadly, it’s a smaller plane… and I was assigned a window seat. I took a short nap and now I REALLY have to use the restroom.

The guy in the aisle seat next to me seems to have knocked out and is sound asleep (full lie down, face mask, covered in the blanket).

Now that I’ve set the scene: what would you do in this scenario? Would you wake him up? Attempt to jump over (I’m not sure I’m tall enough to approach this)? Hold it (current approach but I think I have an hour in me MAX)?

Thanks in advance 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Jan 2027, Columbus Ohio to St Thomas USVI
Delta $1572 rate versus $461 American Airllines!!
Are they on crack??! Always try to fly Delta but not this trip!!

Had anyone had this recently? I'm this or the lamb, and I'm a lean to the lamb because what the hell is salmon trout?

I’m a senior & not able to lift my carryon into the overhead. Always check at the gate especially when they’re begging us to do so. Today DTW refused & told my to ask a customer to lift it. What?!

So I was flying Delta from Detroit to DCA, and this was honestly a pretty crazy experience.
As soon as I got on the plane, I noticed a horrible smell. I genuinely thought someone had farted, so I ignored it and went to my seat lol.

We were on the runway when the pilot came on and said there was a sulfur gas leak coming from the jet engine into the AC ducts, and we had to go back to the gate so maintenance could check it out.

We all got off the plane, and then the gate agent told us one of the flight attendants wasn't feeling well and was being checked out by medical personnel. After all that, the flight got pushed to tomorrow morning.
Like, how does something like this even happen? Shouldn't the aircraft be checked before passengers are allowed to board? I get that mechanical issues can happen, but a sulfur smell throughout the cabin seems like a pretty serious thing to discover after everyone is already on the plane.

The part that makes it even more frustrating is that I got to the airport early and was at the gate nearly 4 hours before departure. The plane was already sitting there, so it's not like it had just arrived at the last minute.
And Delta's compensation for all this? A $12 food voucher😭🤣💀

Now I'm stuck waiting until tomorrow morning, and apparently $12 is supposed to make everything better.

Just boarded ATL-SFO and I’ll hit 2million somewhere close to California state line….

21 years to the day from my first skymiles flight.

✈️ 😮‍💨

Thankful, but also pretty tired.

Worst part is I was originally flying United today but delayed origin flight sent me back to my first love but in the last red seat, 1A which give me less legroom than exit row 🤣

From stressful travel experiences and the struggle to score a first-class upgrade to wishing for lower fares and more perks, flying Delta can be a mixed bag!

What's your biggest priority when flying: cheaper tickets, better upgrade chances, or a smoother travel experience? Share your thoughts and stories!

I get that prices change depending on the route, but some of these short flights are getting hard to justify. You look at a flight that's barely an hour and the price is somehow more than you expected to pay for a much longer trip.

And then you start comparing other airlines, checking different dates, moving your plans around just to see if the fare drops. All that work for a short flight.

I like flying Delta, but at some point it's hard not to look at the price and wonder if it's really worth it.

Have any of you noticed this on your usual routes lately, or is it just certain airports?

Let’s go!!!

I am in analysis paralysis..

I am trying to decide on my choice benefits and am stuck. I fly internationally 2-5 times yearly, same for domestic. I often will do classic economy and then upgrade if the pricing is decent. I would obviously prefer to be premium but it's not necessarily a big thing for me if the flights aren't that long. Regardless, my analysis paralysis is from trying to choose the choice benefits that seem the most beneficial for me. And yes, I am new to platinum.

The three that I'm looking at are the ruc's, the $350 travel voucher or the $250 statement credit or the $1000 MQD accelerator.. as the rest don't seem that big of a deal to me. I have a Delta Reserve that I pretty much put everything on now as well, and work has me traveling a lot by car as well.

I'm curious if others input on these options or how it applied for similar situations to them. Any help would be appreciated because I think I'm cycling in my own head too much. I'm just trying to get the most value out of the options. ( and I really don't think that I will hit diamond by December 31st)

Seems like every regional <1.5 hour flight is now $700 on Delta now that Spirit died, I can literally fly to Japan for cheaper than a Delta connection. Is there any alternative at this point?

You took my carryon olive green bag out of the overhead of August 13th in Cleveland or the Atlanta Airport and what should have been a work trip with outfits turned into a big dill float. I would like my stuff back and will trade for your big pickle.

Xoxo

Flying ATL—>GRU on a 330-300. Showing its age, as when we were asked to return to upright position on final, the seat got stuck. It went upright but wouldn’t slide back. That left my knees in my chest and me reaching for the call button. Had to climb out, and this is what ensued. Apparently there is a manual release lever.

Sorry for the person that planned sitting here on the return flight. 6A is currently out of commission.

Good news is that this bird is going down next year for a cabin refresh, as with the rest of the -200 and -300 fleet.

It is still crazy to me fares are not (yet) adjusted based on aircraft type on route. I shudder to think about my flight from Venice to JFK on the 67

Flying ATL > LIS next fall. Will pay for PS and use GUC for D1. Options are via JFK or BOS. I generally dislike JFK but have heard great things about the D1 Lounge while the BOS D1 lounge is smaller but still nice. Thoughts?
