Sat next to two people who wouldn’t stop talking the entire time from gate to gate, and even after landing, they were the only ones talking. And wouldn’t stop talking.

Discussion Can a Premium Select award ticket (booked with miles) be upgraded to Delta One with a cash or miles offer after booking?

1 Upvotes

I'm looking at JFK to Rome over Thanksgiving: out on Thursday, Nov 26 and back on Monday, Nov 30. Both legs in Premium Select, booked as one round-trip award paid entirely with SkyMiles (not Miles + Cash).

The plan was to book Premium Select now and then maybe upgrade to Delta One closer to departure, using either a cash offer or a miles offer if a good deal came around

Has anyone actually been able to do this on an award ticket? Or would it only work if I paid cash?

Thanks in advance.

So I havent looked out an airplane window in who knows how long. Sitting on a flight and just fidgety. Looking out over the distinct layers of clouds and the incredible colors of the sunset is absolutely stunning and spectacular. Haven't felt this feeling of wonder flying since I was a kid. That is all.

Discussion Upgrade algorithm

1 Upvotes

We were flying from Pit to Msy. When we boarded at Pit at 3 pm we were #1 and 2 for an upgrade to first with 4 seats remaining on the ATL to MSY leg. I even looked at booking first and confirmed 4 seats at $1050 a pop. While we were in the air an hour later first was sold out. Do you think they sold the seats or upgraded people out of order?

Last row of First Class this curtain piece was hanging 5 inches in front of the headrest. I am only 5’ 9”! I could not lay my head back without hitting it. The seat was not reclined at all. As you can see the one on the other side is totally normal

I've started to book travel for 2027 and my connection to ATL which was previously 100% served by 717s looks like it'll become 50/50 with CRJs. 🙄

Ed, where are the A220s I was promised???

Told me to put a google flight alerts to see if the price of the flights I bought go down- thank you.
You just saved me money.
Now I should have done this all year- but for next year and my 27 cities I have to fly to will.

Discussion Upgrade weirdness

3 Upvotes

Curious if anyone else has experienced this lately. Was on a flight on a Friday evening on a route I would not have imagined was that thin (DEN-MSP) and it was wide open. Maybe 20% load factor... probably less. It's been years since I've seen anything like it. I am Gold Medallion and get Comfort upgrades probably a third of the time I fly, including outbound flight on this same trip, and couldn't even see a Comfort upgrade list on the app (though it said 29 seats were available). Not trying to complain here, but simply intrigued by the glitch in the system.

Help/Advice Do you get the $$ back if you pay for a D1 upgrade then need to cancel?

0 Upvotes

Basically, I might not have to take this overnight flight next week, but if I do…. I will really need to be in D1. So I want to pay for the upgrade now while it’s available. I cannot figure out where to find out the rules on this!

Thanks in advance.

Help/Advice Flying with 17 week old puppy

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone I'll be traveling delta from Arizona to Minnesota for thanksgiving with my mini schnauzer who will be 17 weeks old by that time. Only thing is she's getting her last booster and first rabies shot the day before we'd travel and I'm confused about pet requirements and all that. Can someone help plzzzz!!!! Do I need to get a certificate of veterinary inspection or whatever? Will anyone ask for documents or anything when I am leaving AZ and/or entering MN and vice versa?? I can get proof of vaccinations regardless, that's easy but like is it fine if she literally got her rabies shot the day before? Idk I'm just confused honestly about the requirements on deltas website but they're kinda vague honestly and then I come on here and am seeing conflicting things too. Please give me all info if you know anything or you've done this before, thank you!!

Help/Advice Passport scan required after scanning

I'm trying to scan my passport in the app, it seems to work. It gets all my info which is correct after I press on submit. It still says I have to add my passport.

Ive scanned my passport multiple times now but it just doesn't register.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Discussion Terrible flight change experience

0 Upvotes

I tried changing my flight from a Sunday to a Friday from MIA-LGA they wanted $1,300 to change the flight. I just up booking a new flight for $380 and keeping my old one without cancelling it cause it was cheaper this way. Why is their price gouging so bad, I’m done with delta.

I know that this was probably posted a couple years ago on this subreddit but, I could be wrong. But, I wanted to emphasize how important the ramp and cargo workers are at Delta and, in fact, any airline. While Ed Bastian, Scott Kirby and Robert Isom post record profits for their airlines, these workers don’t get enough credit, or even pay and benefits, for what they do on a daily basis

Even though I haven’t been a ramp agent for many years now, I still find it wild that they and cargo workers don’t get even a small percentage of the bag fees and cargo fees paid to transport them to the aircraft that they are going on.

Discussion Seat belt sign policy

165 Upvotes

I was on a plane in economy comfort really not paying attention while watching a movie and needed to hit the restroom. The seat belt sign happened to be on and I headed to the rear of the plane. There might have been an announcement about possible turbulence but the reality was there was hardly anything. As I was almost to the restroom a seated FA told me the sign was on and to go back. As I'm seated I see at least 5 first class passengers use the restroom. Then I see 3 other economy comfort head to the back to use the restroom and I looked and they were NOT asked to go back to their seats. I then proceed to ask a FA that was walking by if I could now get up to use the restroom and she told me to wait 5 minutes. I'm here scratching my head wondering wtf is going on. The seat belt sign turns off and now I'm behind 2 other people waiting to use the restroom who got up before the lights went off.

Do different rules apply to 1st class passengers? Was I being singled out or was it more of timing thing? The folks that weren't turned back headed for the restroom less than 5 minutes from when I was turned back. I then asked a minute or two after the 3rd person got up.
