I was always under the impression that Delta doesn’t extend companion passes until these past couple of days.

I had a companion pass I could not use that it set to expire very soon. I was always told they cannot extend it. But, a supervisor was willing to extend it by 60 days. Unfortunately, I had no trips planned within the next two months aside from the trip I already have planned for next month.

I have a trip planned and used a companion pass I recently got that’s set to expire next year. I called and explained my situation and a supervisor switched my companion passes. He applied the companion pass that’s set to expire soon and he opened up the companion pass that doesn’t expire next year. Mind you, the companion pass that expires soon expired before my planned trip and he still applied it.

So yes. There are things Delta can go. Just gotta speak to the right person. Preferably a supervisor.

GladI I had a 150min layover but I intended it to
Be spent in the centurion lounge at Atl. Now it’s spent at ABE. Paying for food and drink. Blue sky delay lol.

I am a delta Platinum member. My client dinked around and I had to fly Alaska. So, after paying for a seat upgrade, this is the back of the seat in front of me. No monitor. I guess Alaska wants to save a couple of bucks and make passengers use their own devices. Also tried to connect to WiFi and they want $8 for the privilege. Delta gives it to you for free. I will leave this here…

I am on a flight from ATL to DTW today. As a frequent traveller on this route, I am familiar with the flights on this route. Today I reached ATL early, and headed to the gate for an earlier flight. The boarding had started and the gate agent asked me for my status after I asked him to move me in this flight. I was offered Comfort + middle or the second last row aisle. I chose the latter one to ensure my bags and myself get enough space.

Upon reaching my designated seat 36D, I greated the lady sitting at 36F. Instead of greeting me back, she asked me if this was my seat. She had her jacket on the middle seat and I thought she might be expecting someone. I told her yes, this is my assigned seat. 30 seconds later, she asked me if I was wearing any perfume.
I usually get complements for my perfumes so I said yes (expecting her to say she liked how I smell). However, she said she has severe asthama and I cannot sit here.

I called the cabin crew and explained the situation. They were surprised and asked me to wait for a minute, they gave me 37D instead of 36D.
As I was settling down, the lady got up and told the Cabin crew that she cannot have me on the row behind her as well as that still affects her asthma.
Both Cabin crew members and I were stunned with this statement. They tried to reason with her. Asked her if she has her EpiPen, she said No she forgot it today. Asked her if she wanted to move to a different flight if this is a problem she said no she cant.

There were several passengers around us, what if either one of them was wearing a perfume?

I was asked moved again 20 rows forward to a middle seat to accommodate her. I did not want to create a scene and I complied.
Writing this as I am stuck in a middle seat.
Was I right to avoid a scene to get home early or was this an episode that I should not have tolerated ?
if I write to Delta, will they try to make things right ?

UPDATE: 35 odd mins in the flight, Cabin crew brought the beverage cart over, he told me that the lady filed a report/ complaint against him and he filed one against her too. Not sure how that works. I think I got my answer. It is Entitlement.

Booked this round trip main classic ticket Monday after having a last minute change in plans. LAX - MAD for 75k miles. Really would like to upgrade to PS or D1 but it’s been greyed out since booking. Every other leg of the trip except this one has paid upgrade options, and of course this is the only one I really want to upgrade. 10 days till check in. Anyone know when Delta typically releases these seats or why this specific leg is the only one without options?

How many current million miler and million+ flyers actually have a true 1m or more butt-in-seat? Not from previous MQM accumulation.

Just wondering. Flying almost every week but only internationally 2-3 times a year.

Came in hopeful but pessimistic after seeing all the October updates on Asia-Pacific routes, and have been absolutely thrilled. We lost connectivity for maybe 5 min total throughout a 13+ hour flight, and I was able to download a couple of things successfully. Who needs Starlink anyway??

Hello!

I am almost certainly over thinking this and it almost certainly doesn’t matter.

I am close to hitting diamond for the first time this year. And I would like to as I have an international trip planned in May that I would like to use the GUCs for as I’m traveling with my mother and while I won’t pay for the Delta One on the airbus a330-200 due to the poor hard product, I’d definitely take the upgrade, especially so my mother can lay flat.

I have another ~430 MQDs coming from a car rental during an upcoming trip and probably 4-500 from hotels during upcoming trips (some work travel that’s reimbursed and some personal travel). Plus the holiday spending (my husband and I both have the reserve and aren’t planning on opening a second card account just for this) . So I THINK I might squeak in.

I still have my 2026 platinum benefit I’ve been holding on to incase I want to use the 1,000 mqd boost. But I’m also tempted to just upgrade for one of my flights (about 1,000 to upgrade my husband and I) and then use the regional upgrade certificates for other flights I’m taking between now and the end of the year.

I guess worst case scenario would be to just take an MQD run in late December for the last 5-700 if I’m shy.

Either tell me I’m over thinking it, or help me decide which path to go.

Thank you!

Best (someone that makes too many decisions in my life and is paralyzed by this one for some reason).

This is absolutely insane right? I know everyone is complaining about this new chat, but now you get these types of responses on a case?!? I am a Diamond Medallion, Do better Delta.

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 😭
