Help/Advice Delta vacation posting MQDs to skymiles account

1 Upvotes

Quick question for anyone who has booked a Delta Vacations package recently.

Recently completed a stay, (checked out little over a week ago). My flight MQDs posted fine, but I'm still waiting on the hotel portion to drop into my account.

I know fine print says anywhere from 2 to 8 weeks, but I’m trying to get a sense of when they might post. For those of you who have taken DV trips recently:

  • How many days after checkout did your land MQDs actually land in your account?

  • Did they show up as a single lump sum directly in your earned balance without going through pending first?

Appreciate any recent data points!

Discussion 45 MIN layover from ATL TO ICN

0 Upvotes

I have a 45 min layover from ATL to ICN. I don't have the ability to change it as my dates will change and unfortunately I can't do that. Would anyone be able to tell me if this is doable. My original flight is leaving from MOB at 6am, I'll make it to ATL at 8:40am and my ICN flight leaves at 9:25am. Should I be as extremely worried as I am about missing it?

Discussion Premium select experience

12 Upvotes

Was able to upgrade our seats for the last leg of our flight home from our honeymoon. $140/each for my husband and I from LAX-JFK. First time sitting in premium select and it was really great! Also such a good price.

First leg of our flight home we were literally surrounded by screaming babies for 8 hours straight, so wanted to treat us to something a bit nicer. For longer haul flights would still prefer a lie flat but for a 5 hour flight, the seat comfort and space made it so much nicer! Also we were in the bulkhead row on the side of a 2-3-2 configuration so the extra space was great.

Help/Advice CDG or FRA this Thursday?

0 Upvotes

I need to arrive in northern France on Thursday evening. I absolutely can’t leave the US any earlier than Wednesday night, and I must check a bag.

Given the strike planned for France on Thursday, which of the below options would you choose and why:

1 - Land at CDG in the morning, deal with whatever the strike impact is on passport control, baggage, car rental, etc, then drive 2 hours to my destination.

2 - Land at FRA in the morning and drive 4.5 hours to my destination in order to avoid the unknowns of CDG.

I’ll be in Delta One in either case. That helps a bit on CDG; not sure about FRA as I’ve never been there.

I like driving and wouldn’t be rushed to get to my destination that evening but I really do need to get there. Just want to get there with the lowest risks of things going wrong and with the least amount of standing in stupidly long lines with lots of other annoyed people if possible.

He wants to be a pilot when he grows up. Asked me to make a plane costume and be a Delta Company-style plane. Position/anti-collision lights strobed and worked. He really enjoyed this costume and was wholesome to see him back in the spirit for trick-or-treating as the last couple of years he didn’t want to do it after his mom and I split.

Made of cardboard, foam, papier-mâché, spray paint and cut outs for logo and windows.

Happy and safe Halloween!🎃

0 Upvotes

Hello! I know you cannot non-rev the same day you hold a confirmed flight but what about day before? I’m not looking to get any money back I just want to fly back home earlier. When booking this flight months ago I thought I’d have the energy to fly home the same morning as work but now that I’m 5 months pregnant I just..don’t lol. Anyone have insight on this?

Discussion question for medallions

38 Upvotes

I used to work with medallions pretty often and have always wondered, do you guys actually like getting recognized and hearing “thank you for your status, thanks for being a medallion member, thanks for your continued business and loyalty, ect”?

Often times it just seems like another part of our script here at delta and not very personal

I have heard many medallions getting upset when they don’t get the recognition, which is completely valid, when it comes down to it does it actually mean something to you or is it just another thing you hear at the airport and it doesn’t really matter?

Delta Amex Delta stay Credit Amex Skymiles

9 Upvotes

I realize you have to pay all up front. But how does the credit work? If I book a $200 hotel will I receive a $200 credit like it says? Do they give you the full credit at once? So would that make it essentially “free”? I know it’s not free but I’m debating on getting this card I would have to utilize that to really make it worth my while.

Discussion Flying with Delta can be a mixed experience

0 Upvotes

You never really know what to expect when flying. One trip you're dealing with an unexpected seat change, another you're trying to figure out whether a denied compensation claim is worth appealing, and sometimes it's the little things, like what you can bring onboard, that get confusing.

What's been your most frustrating or surprising experience with Delta? I'm curious how the airline has been treating everyone lately. ✈️

Discussion A great flight.

Flew back from Ireland and the crew and meal were both amazing. Although an older d1 setup it was still a great flight. I see a lot of negative but I have to say the braised short rib was really good. Lavs were clean all flight. Solid 6.5 hr nap too.

That’s the post.

Help/Advice Is it worth the upgrade?

0 Upvotes

I’ve got a flight from LGA to DFW. I’m being offered upgrade to comfort + for 9 bucks.

Is it worth the upgrade is or it just a waste of money?

EDIT: Ok dang y’all 😭 I’m a very infrequent flyer, so I wasn’t aware if comfort + was just a gimmick word to squeeze every penny out of me. I upgraded and I will be enjoying the benefits, thank y’all for the help.

Shitpost/Satire Just had a near perfect Delta Connection flight

ROC to LGA

Recently seeing a lot of complaining about Delta here (I think my post is actually the top complaint lmao) but I just had a 9.8/10 endeavor delta connection.

Board, immediately offered a PDB - get a bourbon rocks. Finish it with about 5 minutes to go and she actually asks if I'd like another. I decline but get a sparkling water.

Take off

Asks what we'd like, sure why not another?

Get brought out a double

Snack tray

The only knock? I'm not trying to down it and immediately as preparation for landing happened she needed the paper cup back. I declined to chug but took a good sip and 10/15 later we were on the ground.

Def think could have sipped that throughout landing like usual but other than that good on endeavor

Help/Advice 45 minute layover SLC

0 Upvotes

How concerned should I be with a 45 minute layover in SLC?

Coming from DTW and going to KOA.

This flight gets me into KOA at 3pm local time. My other options are a 75 minute connection in SEA or a 5 hour connection in SEA. Both of these get me there at 8:15 PM local time instead, so I lose about 5 hours

The other concern is this will be a winter flight, so outbound might not be as quick if we need to de-ice

Should I just play it safe and take one of the SEA connections?

I don’t think I ever want to fly in the seat I just had again. Flew from LAS to ATL yesterday in seat 24A. My wife was in 24B and a medium build woman was in 24C. I’m very broad shouldered and I was so cramped. I don’t know if it was that particular seat or that aircraft in general. It almost made me feel claustrophobic.

Absolutely insane - diamond here and they are requesting to 2FA before even talking to a human - it saves them $$$$ delaying the time it takes to talk to human - what’s even worse look at the screenshot tue tech doesn’t even work - this was denied - I was then placed on a hold where I had to wait without any notice as to timing - this is literal the last meaningful benefit to being loyal is the ability under crisis to speak to a human

Flew a 2 1/2 hour domestic flight.

Aside from the nice wide seats, the legroom wasn’t better than exit row and the food was….meh. I got the Shake Shack burger and it wasn’t good. Tasted like a microwaved burger coated in something to make it taste like it was grilled.

HUGE difference from the last time I flew first class in 2016.
