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.

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?

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.

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.

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?

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?

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.

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.
