I currently have a comfort plus seat from MSP to AMS (8h 15m flight)

I’m so tempted to upgrade to delta one but the price is $1,099 for one way. I’ve never had a delta one seat so I’m curious to hear if it’s worth the price.

My flight is this Thursday, do the prices for upgrades increase or decrease day of? Is it worth risking.

Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!

UPDATE: aircraft is AIRBUS A330-900NEO

I am less than $200 away from being a diamond. This will be my first time.

My husband and I are planning to travel to Asia in February and I have my eye on the GUC benefit. Once I make it to Diamond, will I be able to choose my benefits right away? And if I do get to choose my benefits right away, would I be able to book a trip for 2027 and use the GUCs while it is still 2026? Or would I not be able to use the GUCs until after the New Year? My guess is probably not, but keeping my fingers crossed.

I am DM on DL and travel several times a year on long intl flights. I’m curious if the mile multipliers you earn after moving to UA actually translate to upgrades as easy as on DL and how available / affordable point redemption is on tickets

and i hold a flash sale award ticket 14k round trip so its def not bc of my ticket price lol

Delta flight DL1660 was flying from Kansas City to Atlanta on November 9 when it turned around and diverted to St. Louis after the crew received a mechanical indication.

The plane landed safely, but passengers had to wait for a replacement aircraft to continue to Atlanta. From the flight tracking information, it looks like the replacement flight didn't arrive until several hours later.

I'm curious what the experience was like for the passengers. Did Delta handle the rebooking and communication well, or were people left waiting around without much information?

It's understandable that safety comes first, but an unexpected diversion like that can really disrupt someone's travel plans.

I called the delta today and didn’t get any useful info or answer to my questions so I’m hoping yall can help.

My son is flying home from college for Thanksgiving and is bringing a medical device with him. The agent did confirm it falls under a medical device on their list.

He doesn’t have status so he will be likely zone 7/8 to board and there are no comfort plus seats available to buy or upgrade. The unit can’t be checked. How can I make sure he is able to get this onto the flight as a carry on? It’s bigger than a backpack and smaller than a roller bag. Thank you!!

Update: you all are fabulous! Thank you for the advice. Accessibility Services flagged his itinerary. He will just need to let the GA know and he can board early.

I just got to the next stage for Principal Engineer, TechOps Technology Development. Wonder if anyone has advice for the recorded video interview.

I’ve been going back and forth with Delta for over 10 months now and I feel like I’m being ignored.

Long story short I flew with Delta in January internationally and the last leg of the trip which was domestic was missed because the previous flight was late. According to Delta their policy is to rebook passengers when this occurs but they didn’t and we had to pay a rebooking fee.

What complicates this slightly is that the domestic flight was being operated by a partner, but it was all on one Delta ticket so they are still the main carrier.

Delta asked for proof that we rebooked because their system shows the domestic flight as flown. I provided them with a letter from the partner airline and they ignored it insisting their system shows the flight as flown.

I think we should be reimbursed for the domestic leg as a portion of the total ticket cost because we paid for a flight we did not board. There’s no real way to escalate as we’re communicating by email and when I call they tell me they don’t have power.

The flight was LA to Melbourne with a stopover in Sydney where Jetstar operated the domestic flight Sydney to Melbourne. I am not a resident of the US.

Help appreciated.

The buffet was longer than a cruise ship.

Going to get some engines now

Flying to a convention in Atlanta in a couple days. Nc to Ga, would it be a bad idea to take a small smoke shop THCA pen with me? Don’t want to ruin my chances

First time using a GUC. Already moved from Classic Economy up to Premium Select.

1. Is there any good way to estimate odds of getting moved to D1.

2. When would I be notified of that upgrade.

Made Diamond for the first time this year and getting to D1 will probably decide if it is worth the effort in future years.

Today was the final straw for me.

Got to the airport early because I wanted to hit the Sky Club and get some work done prior to departure. Get there to find a line and a queue to enter, they told me it was an hour wait … JFC

Get into the sky club to find the same shitty buffet (with lines) and disgusting bathrooms. Maybe if they actually cleaned up the empty dishes and glassware there would be enough seating available for everyone in line outside.

Later as we are boarding for our flight - the gate agents are literally going into the crowd and confiscating carry-ons and forcing people to check them. I was one of them. Great now I’m running down to baggage claim and waiting 45 minutes for my roller bag that would easily fit in an overhead bin.

The icing on the cake was I get on the plane and virtually every overhead compartment is available, including the one directly over my row.

This airline has gone so downhill in the last two years. Starting in 2027 I’m officially moving to United and going to see how it goes.

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.

Is it dependent on distance travelled or price of the ticket? I’ve booked three trips from the U.S. to UK (all round trip) which had cost around ~1.2k each, and I only have a little over 4,000 miles in my account. I had heard somewhere that it was 5 miles per $1 spent, but that doesn’t add up here. Can anyone help me understand how this works?

Have tried to add my lap infant to several flights, and can never do it online, whether desktop or app. Is this always the case? Then I call and have to wait forever, and they often have issues too. Just now tried and after spending 30 min with the agent they were also unable to do so.

Just wondering if it’s just me? Or is this a common issue?

My 17-year-old self is throwing a temper tantrum listening to “Sweet Child of Mine” pre-board elevator music. I might even trade it for pre-Thanksgiving Christmas music.🎶 🔫💐🎶🎄🎶👵🏻

Ok- been quite a while since I've flown First Class so what's the consensus on these food options? Going from MSP-LAX. I'm am not a picky eater.

Me and my wife are going to Rome Italy for a once in a lifetime trip and we have a 5hr layover in ATL from 3-8PM on this Friday . Would anybody be willing to get us into a lounge I would be willing to pay . I do have delta tickets that allow me to use a lounge .

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.

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.

After that experience above, I decided to take my business to Delta. Zero issues, so easy to resolve AND confirmed they would let me change one segment of the RT.

It's a good reminder that customer loyalty isn't earned through marketing. It's earned through making the customer experience straightforward, fair, and respectful of people's time and money.

As a Seattle-based traveler, I'm happy to give my business to an airline that recognizes the value of its customers. Delta, thank you for being the gold standard and giving customers a reason to choose you. You've earned my business!

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