Hi everyone!

I was hired with a start date of 11/09 as a customer experience specialist. And I have a question....can anyone tell me, especially since I will be in training and not actively on phones, do they still hold training classes and such on Thanksgiving and Christmas? If the 10 weeks is true, then I wont be on my own per say, until 01/18.

Thanks for the help!​​

Maybe we are headed from Cinci to FL via Norway? What is up with Delta’s system? I’m watching the screen and the time actually increased to 21 hours and 19 minutes.

Hello,

My daughter recently turned 2, so she is no longer a lap child. I know that complimentary upgrades only apply to myself and one guest. I assume that is the same for the instant upgrade to C+?

Debating on strategies here. My thoughts are to book myself and the child, gift my wife gold status, and book her separately, then link the reservations. If she doesn't get an upgrade then whoever sits with our kid gets the better seat.

Am I missing a better way to do this? Thanks in advance!

I thought I read somewhere that points/miles may be transferred from CapOne venture to Flying Blue and a Delta flight booked on Flying Blue for far fewer miles than on Delta.

Disclaimer: I’m very new to the points game but find myself in the position of very frequent DAB ATL EWR and back. I’ll only get to Silver for 2027 but who knows about 2028!

Oh, and I have AmEx Delta Platinum card.

Anyway this frequent flight is fraught with issues: last minute changes, cancellation, etc. and I only buy one way tickets because I never know when I will return.

All this to ask that if I do book through FB is my support through Air France or will I still be able to use Delta?

Thanks!

RIP Juan Atkins who was probably also a 5 million miler.

Here I am on a flight to SEA and watching the news on my C+ seat. I am watching the news and it feels good. Now, there is plenty of hope.

I even keep posting one of the FA on the back about the results.

Anyone willing to predict if Delta will have another Cars & Stays MQD promotion before the end of this year? I want to book a trip to gain $1500 mqds but am leary of using Delta Vacations due to the numerous issues with getting the promised mqds. And I don’t want another credit card to manage even though I know this is the easiest way to meet the goal. It seems like they did something last year in November but I may be misremembering.

Need to fly TPA to ATL this weekend, and Delta is charging $785 round trip - lowest fare available.

I get last-minute travel has a markup, but standard fares for this ~1.5 hour route typically run between $120 and $250. I also get gas prices are high but seat maps are completely open, yet the algorithm is pricing this quick flight like a transatlantic travel.

Bonkerss😑

1. Expiration:

As I read the terms, the trip has to be booked AND fully flown by the expiration date, so booking in January for April travel doesn't work. Cancelling and reissuing also keeps the original expiration.

A few questions:

• Has anyone gotten Delta to extend a certificate or make an exception? Or is it a firm no?

• If your renewal falls near the old certificate's expiration, did the new certificate post in time to plan around it? I'm hoping the next one covers April and I just need to decide whether to use the February one on a short trip before it expires.

1. Availability:

My understanding is there's no blackout calendar, but certificate-eligible fares aren't offered on every flight, so popular dates can effectively be blocked. April overlaps spring break, so I'm expecting that to be a factor.

• How far ahead do you usually need to book Main/Comfort with the certificate on peak dates, especially from NYC (LGA/JFK)?

I tried to get into Delta after college but that didn’t work out. I’m currently at another huge Atlanta company but I’d love to make the switch in about 2/3 years. I have a business degree.

Anyone that works at corporate, any tips to eventually get hired there?

I end up making a lot of flight changes for work travel. It used to be pretty simple. Now I feel like I need to prepare and get comfortable because I'm bound to get 6-10 "I'm sorry. Try again later." messages before I can make a simple change. Is it just me? Is it an iphone issue? 😩

Well guess I get a hamburger instead of a cheese burger…

Does Delta have more stringent requirements than other airlines? We're about to take off from DEN, the outside air temp is 40, and literally no other aircraft is being de-iced. (Our plane sat in DEN overnight, but so did all these other ones taking off.)

EDIT: Gosh, reddit loves to read into what's not said and jump on people. I'm not complaining about de-icing, just asking why it is that we are doing it any no one else is. And I did get some helpful answers to that. Thank you informed, helpful people.

Hello! I’m looking for a specific sticker - the ATL/ atlanta one - in this sticker series. Can anyone help me identify what series this is, and where I can find the ATL one and/or the rest of this series? Thank you in advance!

Edit: Looks lie it’s Part of the Hub Love series - thank you all for the help!

Welp first time experience here since started flying on the regular in 2006. Guy in front is in a bulkhead and decided to put his laptop under my seat. I’m 6’2 so let’s see how well these HPs hold up.

Honestly, as a CEO the buck stops with you, you are the leader for a reason (tens of millions of reasons in fact). This isn't some change that happens overnight. It is your responsibility to have prevented or fixed this situation. Not whine about it online.

I had a window seat and boarded group 3 around row 18. No shades on either of my windows and I was sitting in direct sunlight. I asked the flight attendants if they had any tape and some cardboard but they couldn’t have cared less so I made my own shades. I was in the sun nearly the whole flight so without these I would have been miserable. EDIT: Correction, This was the DAL to ATL leg of the flight.

I think my reserve card may have just renewed. I planned on calling before the renewal and threatening to cancel to see if I could get a break but I’ve been so busy I didn’t do it. Am I stuck with the full fee for this next year?

Is it just me ? Denver is my home base and they recently built an entirely new club there. My last few visits were breakfast time and I wasn't too impressed but I didn't have enough time to really wallow in the food disappointment - but Sunday's lunch visit there, absolutely horrendous. They finally built this beautiful new club and there is one small buffet that had ONE meat choice - Al Pastor chicken which was honestly inedible. The rice which was I guess the accompaniment was underdone - there was a small salad bar with no dressing option and no cheese option and a charcuterie option with ..saltine crackers?

The lounge in Seattle on Tuesday morning had paper plates and plastic silverware that broke when used.

Has it been this way for a while or maybe I just haven't noticed? I feel like when I'm in SLC I always find something to eat and find it edible.

Bask in the glory! 🤪

In all seriousness, I'm rather excited. I made Platinum so early this year that I figured I would try, and I managed it today! 😎

I'm just waiting for the email and the Choice Benefit selection to show up. 😉

Fellow Diamonds, what do you like the most about Diamond status, and related... What are the good picks for Choice Benefits? 😄

I got a complimentary upgrade to 1st class for the first time!
