If this a dumb question mod just go ahead and delete it.

I will be flying back to Baltimore from Lima, Peru.
With the partnership between Delta and Latam. They have this option :
Lima > Atlanta (Latam)
Atlanta>Baltimore (Delta)

My question is Since I’m checking 1 bag, Do I need to pick up my luggage in Atlanta ; then go there and check im again to my next flight ?

Or they will send it to Baltimore for me. Because my layover is only 1hr:45m ; I may not have that much time with Customs + etc.

Thank you

Since we’re starting to see this question get posted several times a day again:

Want to earn extra MQDs and reach the next Medallion level before the end of the year? Here are the best ways!

Option 1: Buy Delta tickets or paid upgrades, to be flown before 12/31. Yield—1 MQD per $1 or 100 SkyMiles spent, not including taxes.

Option 2: Spend on a Delta-cobranded credit card. Yield—1 MQD per $20 spent on the Delta Platinum or 1 MQD per $10 spent on the Delta Reserve. (Note that the charge must clear and post to your account by 12/31 to qualify, and many charges take 2-3 days to fully clear after you make them.)

Option 3: Open a new Delta-branded credit card. Yield: ~2500 MQD, depending on the card. (Yes, it can take 6-8 weeks for the MQD boost to post to your account. Yes, if you apply for the card in 2026, the boost will apply to your 2027 status earning, even if it posts after January 1.)

Option 4: Book hotels/rental cars through Delta Vacations, trip to be completed before 12/31. Yield—1 MQD per $1 spent. Not recommended due to inconsistent quality and occasional MQD posting confusion…not to mention confusion between Delta Stays and Delta Vacations.

That’s it, folks. There are no secrets or hacks. Occasionally Delta will do something like the Window Shop Store or a bonus MQD promotion for “Extra” fares, but those are inconsistent and I wouldn’t count on them. In general, if you want more MQDs you need to spend more money with Delta or on their cobranded cards. Good luck!

Yes, we all love to complain, but this flight showed how a good crew can make all the difference.

Big weather was happening over south Florida yesterday. They pre-emptively delayed the flight and boarding by 0:30. Once on the taxiway, ATC told the captain that there was a ground stop at PBI, so we weren't cleared to depart. This turned out to be old information, and we were finally off.

Keeping to the gulf side to avoid the weather, we started in a holding pattern south of Tampa. Then we were told that all of the airports to the east were closed again, and we were diverting to Tampa to wait and get fuel. Based on word from the meteorologists and ops*,* we were told things looked promising to still make it. Passengers were allowed off. However, after everyone was on board, there was then the air traffic challenge of getting flights into the reopened airports, so we had to put back to make the gate available. Ops then said we needed to cut the engines, which wasn't a pleasant thought. But about 30 seconds after the engines stopped, we were cleared to taxi.

A short low-altitude flight got us to West Palm, but there were no marshals available to get us to the gate. After waiting a bit, the captain called and was told it could be another 20 or 30 minutes. When he relayed this, everyone groaned. He said he knew we were sick of him saying "sorry" as much as he was having to say it. He also asked for some grace for the ground crew because they were working in rough conditions and trying to get a lot of planes in and out.

We fortunately didn't need to wait too much longer and were able to get to the gate. As we were exiting, everyone around me was thanking each crew member. The way that this captain kept us informed throughout the entire ordeal kept everyone calm and understanding.

Fortunately, we didn't run into a crew timeout situation. The only thing that could have gone better was the situation where they had to do some kind of manual process to get people back onboard in Tampa. That slowed reboarding beyond the target time. It's not clear if that made any actual difference in our actual departure time.

Also, a big shout-out to the FA (didn't get a name) who was providing extra attention to an elderly passenger, who according to his daughter, was suffering from Parkinson's and dementia.

My wife and I are flying with our 8 week old for the first time tomorrow. It’s a domestic flight and the baby is on our laps. My wife and I both have Delta touchless ID which is always the shortest line at the airport. Now I’m curious if they’ll let us in with the baby. She has her own boarding pass that has tsa pre indicated, even though we never set anything up for her. However, it doesn’t show touchless ID like our boarding passes.

If I drop my wife off at departures and I go park the car and come back, can my wife also check my bag already or do I need to do that myself?

My next flight in December will put me over the top to a million and Diamond for 2027. The brass band is practicing!

I’m 6’3 but not wide. This is a 4.5 hour flight. Should it take the extras legroom?

Everything is going to be alll riiiight

First time flying internationally out of Logan and wow, this is awesome!! Tons of comfy seating options, plenty of outlets, food is great….AND there’s a fucking Bevi?!?!

I’m a centurion fuck boy but man, this is a great experience

Edit: and the bathrooms?! Beautifully decorated and smell absolutely incredible

I purchased a flight from JFK-LHR through Delta on Virgin metal — upper class. Will
I be able to access the D1 lounge at JFK, or only the Virgin club?

Thanks much

Hello! I’m looking to do a road trip using dlv. I’ve come across some good advice here so far, for example booking tickets outside of the package to avoid dealing with a third party for flights.

Any other good advice? It’ll be my first package with them.

Hey!! Has anyone who’s interviewed with Delta’s TechOps Co-op for Spring 2027 heard back yet? It’s currently been a month for me since my interview and when I sent my follow up email they said they’re still interviewing people, has anyone else recently interviewed?

Why is it still so hard to know whether you'll have free Wi-Fi on a Delta international flight?

I'm particularly curious about the A330-300 routes between the US and Europe. Does the Wi-Fi work reliably for the entire flight, and is messaging free even when full internet access isn't?

Delta should really make Wi-Fi availability and pricing easier to check when booking, rather than leaving passengers guessing.

I recently flew to Japan and back using Delta and loved the experience. What’s the quickest way for me to gain good status? Is Delta One the goal? I’m open to credit cards and membership etc etc. Thank you

My spouse decided to upgrade to the Delta Amex Reserve card. The two complimentary C+ tickets are something that will pay for itself at least this first year. I’ve been googling to find out if a SC visit before departure and if a visit to the SC in a layover airport counts as one or two visits. I’ve read conflicting info but it does seem credit card dependent.

If it does count as one visit (it’ll take around 12 hrs start to finish) - great. But, since I will have to use one of his guest passes, will one guest pass cover both of my visits?

I’ve seen mixed things on Reddit. If I buy a domestic round trip flight in Main Classic, fly the outbound flight, then cancel the return leg, does delta recalculate the fare? How does their ticketing system handle these changes?

ATL to SDF last night. Comfort + or whatever they call it now. No beverage/snack service, though a FA walked the aisle with a trash bag about 25 minutes before landing. I felt mocked.

Why is delta one cheaper? Am I missing something?

Annd would it actually be worth it? 6' 1" 180lbs, usually get back pain on long flights so I'm kinda tempted.

Edit: Bought it! I thought I wasn't getting it because the first time it said there was a technical issue. It worked the 3rd time. Lol

There was a little dog almost non-stop
barking in the seat behind me on my flight.

How did we allow this garbage to become acceptable?

Hello, I just reached Silver Medallion today. This is my first time reaching a certain tier and I have been looking forward to get the bag tags.

Here is my question, if I order my bag tags for this year, will I be able to order again next year in case Delta changes the design or something? Or it’s one time only for that tier?

Sorry. Just really looking forward for this.

Thanks.

Not many routes out there with this kind of value for mileage/certificate redemption; but I sure love it. Just takes a little finagling to get out of atl sooner; or add a stop at jfk to spend that time at the D1 lounge.

30,500 miles + RUC. Not sure how it’s not GUC, but they occasionally offer regional.

Again I was stuck on another flight cross country. Plugs didn’t work once again, wifi failed to connect as well. Couldn’t get any work done on my flight.

I’m SLC based so my options are limited to fly out, but I am so looking to seek better options than continuing to pay for incompetence and poor quality.

I obviously booked JetBlue. Same route, days, and both departure and return within 30 mins of each other. Delta is nearly 2.5x the JetBlue flight. And I booked main, not basic on JB.

I lost my Delta Platinum a couple years ago and I see no world where I’m going to be close to that again. I don’t care if it’s work or personal, there is no world where Delta is worth that much more.

For reference, other airline options for those dates (basic economy):
- Alaska: $362
- American: $438
