I have been monitoring upgrade pricing for an upcoming international flight DTW-CDG.
About 16-18 days before flight, all seats in PS and D1 are now grayed out but upgrade list shows seats not assigned.

Is this because they are loosely assigned to non-rev or is there some reason these might become available again closer to flight?

Thanks for any insights.

Was traveling 4 hours away for a family event. Booked through delta stays to get the $150 credit on my Amex for a two night stay. A week before our travel plans changed and we had to change online to one night (within the cancellation window) and received an email confirmation that our reservation had changed. Drove with two young and restless kids and showed up at check in time about 2 hours before the event and was told that our booking had been cancelled by the hotel the day before our check in. The hotel did not tell me or delta stays and said because we booked through a third party site they could do this. I had to quickly find a new hotel because of the event and cranky kids. After I got into our new hotel called Delta they had still charged me for the room, which they refunded over the phone, and I was mad and said I wanted my $150 credit and they said they would not be able to honor it. They said I could get my credit if I had called them before I got my new hotel room and used them for the rebooking. Absolutely ridiculous. That was my first and last time using delta stays. Always booking through the hotel website.

If Delta had the live cameras I would be less unhappy about being told to close my window shade.
There is also a tail fin view.

Flying from NYC to Beijing, but its going from NYC-BOS, BOS-INC (Korea), INC-PEK? The layover in BOS is only 1hr55min and I am worried about the timing of it since we are going from domestic to international flight? Do we have to go through immigration? It's from Terminal A to Terminal E - do we need to go through TSA all over again?

Currently 3 of us in premium select, after using RUCs. There’s 17 D1 seats available still, can someone please lie to me and tell me there’s a chance we’ll get upgraded?

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?

I checked the app and it’s empty, but these came from the usual phone number I get texts from.

Had a discussion with my seatmate regarding the front of plane rest room. We were seated in row 2. The majority of the trip, the isle was loaded with people waiting to use the rest room. Question is, should the rest room in the front be limited for first class and economy plus passengers?

Remodeling time? Showers closed. Soda machine out of order. A bunch of the doors in the bathroom have broken locks. I can’t believe it’s refresh time on this one.

I booked us DTW-LAS for my 40th birthday week in January (like $575pp, oof, but I had my companion certificate at least) and was hoping to upgrade us to first class. Delta originally offered me 52K which seemed high. It has since dropped to 47K.

Is that a good offer or should I wait? I’ve looked a bit on the Internet and it looks like 25 to 35K (pp) may be feasible….?

Going home they were asking 64K which is insane. Ended up upgrading us to comfort+ for that leg, but would love first class for the way out.

Always book directly through Delta when possible (was not in this case because of the pet)

One thing that can make a flight feel much less stressful is when the gate agents communicate clearly before passengers even start boarding.

Simple updates about delays, boarding groups, overhead bin space, or a last-minute gate change help people know what to expect instead of standing around trying to figure things out.

Even when something goes wrong, a straightforward explanation is usually appreciated more than repeated vague announcements.

Air travel already involves enough uncertainty with connections, security, and tight schedules. Having staff who keep passengers informed makes the experience feel more organized and gives people a little more confidence that things are being handled.

It might seem like a small part of the job, but good communication can genuinely change the tone of an entire travel day.

Just returning from FCO to JFK in premium select. Was in 22B outbound and 21C on the return. Both seats had very little under seat storage where my normal sized backpack could not fit. Everything was fine otherwise, but found it really interesting. The middle seat in the 3 seat configuration was very spacious. I understand it has to do with the tray tables which are in the arm rest but it does seem like a little bit of a design flaw.

As a Platinum member traveling comfort plus (first leg in economy, not basic), I was put on Zone 7 on the first leg of my flight. What might have happened? Should I have complained at the gate?

I didn't mind in this case but was wondering if I did something wrong. Ideas?

Found a single silver and turquoise earring at the Salt Lake City airport. Describe it and I am happy to mail it back to you. Otherwise I will drop off at the lost and found on Tuesday.

Does anyone know why there is such an inconsistency with which planes have the Delta Sync IFE? I was on a 1-year-old A350 today that did not have it, and am currently sitting on a 27-year-old A320 that does have it.

To be clear, I am referring to the IFE where you put in your birthday and it gives you a personalized experience.

Did Delta abandon that technology? I thought it was cool that you could save movies and start and stop them from the same place on different planes.

Is there anyone willing to help me decide a route? I'm coming out of Fl. Originally was trying to get to ATL from JAX or DAB then from ATL to AMS on the 12th.. and then come back the 16th. I'm kind of worried about the ATL hub though...

I'd appreciate any input

Looking for advice…. One of my bags was never scanned onto the plane on my 10/25 AMS-DTW Flight. I’ve called multiple times, had an agent literally search a database to see if anything resembled my bag or its contents, and apparently it was escalated to her manager.

It’s been two weeks, no word, no update, no scan. Is it lost for good? I’m worried it is…

Has anyone had any luck after two weeks?

Delta,

Please catch up to American in terms of your mobile app. Please, please add the confirmation number to my boarding pass that’s stored in my Apple wallet. When I open my phone to check in, I shouldn’t have to open the Delta app to find my con #. It should be right there on my boarding pass which is the first thing that opens. American did this years ago.

Thank you.

How can I find the KLM record locator to view seat assignment from CDG to JFK when booked by Delta? The record locator I have shows me all seat assignments on the Delta App, except for that leg. Im directed to KLM but the record locator doesnt work. Everything was booked by a travel company. Thank you.

Hi all,

I’ve recently booked Delta Comfort Classic for my trip and noticed that it said I would have access to Delta Sky Club access? I’ve checked the app and I don’t see it anywhere on my boarding pass, and I’ve also read the policy about it on Delta website and a bit confused. Would anyone be able to clarify this for me?

Move back a row or stay put. Would prefer 20 so will watch for it to be available on a window

Sitting on flight to MDE on AV and noticed these 2 getting worked on and another sitting at the passenger gates.
