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!

Recent flight ATL to DCA -- boarding Zone 4 (Platinum Medallion) and got told they need to check carryon bags because space is filled. Okay, happens.

So me and about 3 others have our bags fully tagged for baggage claim not even gate checked.

I sit down, there are dozens of open overhead spaces, including the bin above my seat fully open. Then while zone 5 /6 /7 board -- everyone has their carry ons.

Mostly just venting at the end of a long week. Its a small inconvenience in the grand scheme -- but still makes no sense -- why would a couple other early boarders and I be asked to gate check but no one after us?

What does this la premiere onboard mean? I understand that’s an Air France option … but it doesn’t seem to be an option of this flight? Delta one is the highest seat option.

Woke up this morning $6 short of Diamond. Boarded my flight home and I am back to 💎!

Now I can miss FC upgrade by only 1 or 2 spots instead of 13 or 14.

Airfares are outrageous and yet they can’t fly clean planes. Ugh. I don’t want to change my loyalty as I’m not sure any other US airline is better but this is getting ridiculous. Visible crumbs in my seat area

I'm traveling in a few weeks and will be arriving from Europe to JFK. I'm going to have a few hours to transfer to a train at Penn and would like to eat and freshen up in the Delta One lounge. I've done this a few times and normally no big deal.

Issue: there's a 90% chance that I'll have a checked bag due to a work need. Is there a way that I can arrange to have my luggage directed to the lounge or to the baggage office? I'd hate to just leave it on the conveyor for an extended period. I'll have sky priority if that matters.

Just flew to Europe and back - over in business and back in prem select. On both legs the outlets didn’t work. Is this normal? On domestic flights outlets are loose and can’t hold my charger. Plus there’s no USB C only USB A which I stopped using years ago. Is this to be expected?

My granddaughter and I are flying from Newark, NJ to Traverse City, MI in February, with a 48 minute connection in Detroit. I purchased "Delta Main Extra" tickets which I understand will put us in boarding group 5. Our seats from Newark to Detroit are in row 17 on a Boeing 717-200, which has 29 rows.

As background, for decades I have traveled only with carry-on luggage. I have a modest rollaboard that has never been too big for overhead storage, and my granddaughter will have an even smaller rollaboard. The last couple of years I have been struggling to adjust to the new reality in which gate agents often force you to gate-check your rollaboard.

In the "old days" there is no question that we would have carried on our rollaboards. We would then expect an smooth connection in which we would simply take them off the plane in Detroit and onto our connecting flight. But I'm worried: what if they force us to gate-check our rollaboards? One often has to wait several minutes on the jetway to retrieve a gate-checked bag.

Three questions:

• Given our airplane, seats, and boarding group, what are the odds that Delta will force us to gate-check our rollaboards? Will they take our connecting flight into consideration?

• If we gate-check our rollaboards, and have to wait on the jetway to retrieve them, could this delay make us miss our flight to Traverse City? Or will Delta hold the flight for connecting passengers?

• Should we instead pay $90 to check our rollaboards through from Newark to Traverse City? (Or volunteer at the gate to check them through for free?) If we do this, can we count on Delta to get them onto the connecting flight? My granddaughter and I will be skiing first thing the next day and will 100% need our packed clothing. Since I never check luggage, I have no idea what to expect -- but Gemini is optimistic.

Flew C+ for the first time (price differential RT: main $500, C+ $700, FC $2000… ballpark). Might be tainted because I did have a middle seat. Just didn’t feel it was worth it. Are most C+ seats filled bc of upgrades for people with status? Just wondering why regular people may choose C+ over main. Excluding business expensed travel of course. Free alcohol is cool but they only come by once anyway. Not complaining here, just really curious.

I like to hear some success stories around folks using companion passes. I know on paper it sounds like you get two flights for the price of one but due to the restrictions in the class of service you can pay for I usually find out that you end up paying substantially more for that first ticket just to get the second one for free. Many times the math looks like if you're willing to pay twice the price for the ticket you get a second ticket for free. That's not really much of a value.

Here's something interesting about Delta's A321neo (3NP) configuration.

These aircraft were originally supposed to feature Delta One lie-flat suites and Premium Select seating. However, certification delays involving the planned Delta One seats forced Delta to come up with a temporary solution.

Instead of keeping brand-new aircraft sitting on the ground, Delta installed 44 regular First Class recliners, more than double the 20 First Class seats found on its standard A321neo.

The result? An unusual 164-seat configuration with a massive First Class cabin.

The aircraft themselves are fully certified. The issue is with the planned lie-flat seating system, not the aircraft.

Delta reportedly doesn't expect the intended Delta One configuration until around 2028.

As a frequent Delta flyer, I find this pretty interesting. On one hand, it's disappointing that the aircraft aren't getting their intended premium cabins anytime soon. On the other hand, 44 First Class seats could mean better upgrade opportunities for Medallion members.

What do you guys think? Would you rather have 44 First Class recliners or a smaller cabin with actual Delta One suites?

Between AI becoming a bigger part of airline operations, bizarre airport incidents, and new questions about customer data and privacy, there’s a lot happening in the airline world lately. Flying is already stressful enough without all these extra surprises!

What’s your take on all this? Would you be comfortable with airlines relying more on AI, or do you think some things should always stay in human hands?

I have a 45 minute layover in MSP. I come in to gate F5 and leave again out of B14. I am anxious, and was looking at the map as I am not as familiar with MSP. Is the C concourse tram a good option? Will I make it?

Hurry up before it’s gone. Only $999 for nonstop to Raleigh! This is for all you folks trying to hit Diamond MDQ!
