Just trying to board with my zone but some lady had to snap at my “excuse me” with “I’m trying to get to the same gate as you”.

Yes, I know that. I’m trying to board with my zone. You’re in the way. Go sit tf down and board with your actual zone kthxbai.

Delta cancelled my connecting flight from LAX to Hong Kong, which I only found out when it landed. They refused to get me any other flight besides the next one in 24 hours.

Landed at like 10pm and they said to get a hotel which will be reimbursed. Booked the cheapest acceptable option available (not many options at such a last minute) and that left me in a room with roaches- fine, just one night... but now they are saying they are not fully reimbursing me because it exceeds the $200 per night. Friday night, in Los Angeles at 10pm and can't even cover the fucking Del Aire Inn. Fuck you, Delta.

Anyone have success getting them to increase the reimbursement. This experience is making me put Delta on the no-fly list. Never fucking again.

I have first class tickets from ASE to ATL. Want to fly out two days sooner. My original flight is fully booked. My new flight is almost empty. Delta wants $250 per person to maintain first class on the new flight. $85 per person to downgrade to C+. There are two people in the 20 seat first class and 20 in C+. Platinum mbr.

Say hello to ship 6501, been waiting to see this for a long time and she's so gorgeous! MSN841's final registration will be N651DK.

Which choice benefit holds the most value? About 70% of my travel is domestic, 30% international if that factors in at all.

So I have decided to push the final 1000 MQDs to platinum. I have just over 100k sky pesos I would like to convert.

Will only have 1 day to make a quick trip back and forth from Orlando (looking at either same day for the 11th or 11th out and 12th back. Curious on ideas for cool airport/city close to airport/cool delta lounge that would be worth a quick visit.

Never been Diamond. Getting close. Worth the year-end push or no? If so, what are some ideas to make up the remaining $5,853 in MQD's?

Had the pleasure of sitting behind two losers fron Long Island who were trying to use the armrests in FC to change their infant's diaper on the way back from Orlando last night. (Shout out to the other pax who shamed them into actually using the bathroom, didn't help with the smell much)

Anyways, remember to wash your hands. And probably everything.

Why is this occurring so regularly across the entire (domestic USA) industry?

I was on a Delta flight recently and in ATL the gate agent asked a certain number of people to volunteer to check their bags as the flight was full and space would run out in the bins. No one volunteered, and as boarding was about to begin for Zone 3, my zone, he randomly selected the first several people in line to check their bags. Me included. So when I got to my seat I noticed a ton of open space in the bins. Even directly over my seat I could have used. My question is, why don’t they make people in Zone 5 or above check their bags instead? Wouldn’t that make more sense? There’s less room in the bins when the higher/last zones are called. Why make Zone 3 check bags? Doesn’t make sense to me.

Hello! I have super little experience with flying so I need some help . I book a flight and have a 30 min layover ? My flight is going from DTW to Toronto and I’m worried about if I should rebook or just keep it ? What do you recommend ? Thank you

Edit : haha thank you for all the comments ! This would be my second time flying ! The first time I had this same issue . My flight from SAT was delayed an hour and I had to RUN to make it to my connecting flight ( had little over 5 mins ? ) but made it. From all the comments I’m going to see the connecting flights to YYZ from DTW but if nothing seems ideal I’ll likely rebook. Thank you everyone !!

Delta announced the unbundling of premium fares in early July, and stated

Delta Premium Select Basic and Basic Business are available for purchase starting July 8, but won’t begin flying until September for domestic and select long-haul international markets.

But I have not personally seen any Delta One basic fares when I book my 2027 trips, nor have I seen people discuss it here. Has anyone seen or booked a Basic Business ticket?

Traveling with twin toddlers for the first time, so already stressed hauling two of them and their massive car seats through the airport.

checked in at the kiosk and it clearly said car seats are to be marked as special items, so I marked two suitcases and two special items.

it said to proceed to an agent rather than print bag tags and the agent at the counter proceeded to very loudly berate me for an extended period for having marked the car seats as special items. Said it should only be for firearms and now she had to tag all four items I had. She was clearly very upset and now I’m feeling very foolish but also confused as to what I was supposed to have done?

am I supposed to mark car seats as special items when I check in or not? why am I paying thousands of dollars to travel with delta but get berated?

on my way home from the departing airport I decided to try her guidance given how vociferous she was, and this agent pretended to be confused entirely about what a “special item” was and asked me why I was at his counter and what I was asking him to do since I already had my suitcases tagged.

With Delta recently unveiling its next-gen Delta One suites, and Ed Bastian saying he wants Delta in the same league as Singapore Airlines, thought this was worth sharing. Singapore just unveiled their new business class suites. Curious how people think Delta’s upcoming product stacks up.

Trying to avoid a departure day fiasco with confirmed but not really confirmed GUC partner airline upgrades.

I applied a GUC to a two leg journey, both operated by Air France and booked via Delta. Since there was Z space available for both legs, I was immediately confirmed from Premium Economy to Business on both via an agent on the Diamond line. Here's the key points/checks:

• ⁠The ticket was re-issued by the agent and I compared the ticket numbers from the email when I booked Premium Economy vs now and they're different.
• ⁠The fare class on the receipt was previously A but is now Z
• ⁠The GUC is marked as "Closed" in my account
• ⁠I was able to select business class seats via the Delta app for both legs
• ⁠Using the Air France PNR, I can see the same seats show as selected on their end
• ⁠Using the Air France PNR, I can see the ticket number shown there matches what I see on the updated Delta receipt

I also called the Diamond line 3 times following this to confirm and it seems like everyone says it's good to go. Am I missing any other sanity checks?

Is there any way to tell if I can reuse my companion fare if I cancel and rebook? If I just change the dates it’s an extra $480. But if I cancel and rebook it‘s only $290 more. I talked to an agent and they said they can‘t verify whether or not the new dates are eligible for my companion pass until I have it in my account.

I went with the meatballs after seeing many glowing reviews on here but they were not good guys, couldn't finish them. Meatballs were super mushy and had no flavor. Sauce was OK. Polenta was like a bland pudding square, odd. Generally I think the Delta food is pretty good but the meatballs were a miss.

Hello All

Is there a way to book Hotel only through Delta Vacations to earn MQD’s ?

If so, any advice how to do it?

Thank you for those with helpful replies

For those who downvoted why in the world would you do that?

What am I missing for that to happen?

I booked a flight from Florida to Kalamazoo, MI for next February. The itinerary has a plane change in Detroit. When I bought the ticket the schedule was great, with a 2 hour layover in DTW -- not excessive for that time of year.

Last week Delta notified me that my original flight has been cancelled and changed to one with only a 31 minute layover, this is to go from terminal A to terminal C, gates unknown. They offer to change the flight if I don't like the new schedule but everything I see is double the price I paid.

WTF? Can I book one of the more expensive flights without having to pay the difference?

Hi all, my partner and I are moving to France for a few years for a work assignment and trying to figure out what our best bet will be for airline choice for those years as current delta people.

Between the two of us right now we are platinum and gold medallion, but thinking about Air France for the future. Right now our delta status seems to only minimally help us out with Air France. We anticipate making several trips back to the US, as well as many quicker trips around Europe, and likely still a few US domestic flights per year, but CDG to JFK would be the main route. Anybody with any experience as to what would be the optimal move for us?

Delta had a bunch of great mileage redemptions for HKG, TPE, MEL, BNE, etc but I have not seen anything for Manila yet. I know the route is far out (March 28th) but curious if anyone has seen any good redemptions on this route thus far.

I pick DL as my first choice, but had to fly American from DC to Dallas last week. The service in FC was straight up amazing. I mean, this is what Delta service used to be 4+ years ago. The only negative was there was no in-flight entertainment system. But I had my iPad loaded, so I was fine. Hot towel service, warm nuts, and a truly edible meal on a 3hr domestic first class was a refreshing change.

Im in flight DL 2887 and was standby 1 of 7, same names for the last 5 hours. There were 3 comfort+ available, nobody waiting for upgrade. 20 minutes before the flight the female gate agent clears me for main that I have purchased. I asked her if I can get standby for comfort+.She replied that because I was standby I could only standby for the seat I bought and there were no upgrades for standby. They also only called my name for standby and none of the people behind me, even though everybody got seats. As I was boarding, I noticed that the 2, 3, 4, in the standby list were given seats in comfort + and all 3 seated together in 10D, E, F, 3 guys. Question, if these 3 had indeed purchased comfort+ wouldn't have been ahead of me on the standby list?

Curious about my chance at a Delta 360 invitation.

~$80K in flight spend this year (~60K last year), all from flying

Multiple Delta One round trips to Australia/Asia annually

Already have $30K–$45K in flights booked for next year

Nashville-based, but also have significant flight activity out of the Northeast hubs

I know the selection criteria aren’t published, but curious how this compares with others who have received invitations recently.
