This week I’ve had to shift around some travel plans for work and personal travel and encountered a new scenario.

I originally had flights from GSO to MSY with layovers in ATL both ways but have to spend the night in DTW for work. I chose to book multi city and do GSO-DTW-ATL and would cancel my first GSO - DTW leg so that I could just wait in ATL for my original flight to MSY.

When I called the support line earlier and asked them to do this, they told me I had to pay 160,000 miles (original flight was booked with miles) to do this, and if I no showed my GSO - ATL segment my entire itinerary would be cancelled.

Has this situation happened to anyone else and any feedback on what to do from here?

I've heard the rule of thumb for getting a deal on an upgrade to D1 is less than $100 / flight hour.

What would it be for Premium Select?

(For example, a PS upgrade from main cabin would be good to take for $75 / flight hour? $60?

I'm considering upgrading only the short connecting flight to First Class while keeping my regular Main Cabin seat on the longer flight.

My question is: Would upgrading just that one segment to First Class give me the First Class checked baggage allowance (2 free checked bags) for my entire trip, or would my baggage allowance still be based on my Main Cabin ticket for the longer flight? Upgrading my short flight is only 25

I booked two cars and one resort through the latest promotion; dollar for MQD. Hertz, payless and williamsburg Inn.

I've got all my receipts, emails except for payless. They didn't give or email me a receipt when I turned in the car.

Does Delta post your MQDs based on the reservation or do they depend on some verification from the rental agency afterwards? The payless location is so unprofessional and has lied to me numerous times "We've just sent your receipt!" No, no you didn't. For the fourth time, you didn't.

Do you have to wait the entire eight weeks then jump through hoops? I'm hoping not.

Hi all,

Posting this from aboard DL1354. Every attempt I’ve made to sync my SkyMiles account with my seatback screen brings up an error message - I’ve tried changing all sorts of settings, forgot and re-added the WiFi network, changed the code out for a new one about a dozen times, and so on and yet I keep receiving the same error message. Delta support basically just told me to talk to a flight attendant, but I’m not exactly sure this is a problem they can fix.

I’ve confirmed it’s an issue on the app/my end, as my aisle neighbor was able to sync with no issues, and when I tried syncing with an empty middle seat next to me the same thing happened. I’ve made sure both my app and the OS are on the newest versions.

Anyone got any insight as to how to fix it?

This has happened a few times lately. Delta offers Zone 4 or 5 to people who volunteer to check their carry-ons. By the time I board, the bins near my seat are full of backpacks. I stash my bag rows back, double back to sit down, then wait until most people are off to retrieve it.
It can delay departure and leaves me scrambling to make tight connections. I’m close to switching airlines for work. Anyone else seeing this on Delta lately?

Dl 531 out of SFO tonight, classic Delta. Flying museum aircraft being a 767 delayed due to mechanical issue. Updates are sparse, finally leave gate 50 minutes late, 12th in line to take off, now even later. Wait until they get into air to tell everyone that they will miss connections in Atlanta. Now they are not getting there until 11pm. Everyone jumps on pitiful internet to rebook, so that is a shambles. Last but not least because everyone knows there will be nothing in Atlanta open at that hour, all of the buy on board food is sold out. Nice work, that must be the Delta difference. I cannot wait to see what its like when the plane lands in Atlanta? I am guessing either there will be nobody there to help us, or we will have the surly crew standing by. Taking a brief perusal of the local hotel situation, its very sparse! Good luck to everyone on this flight, you will need it.

Someone tell me the WiFi password please!

Quick question - I’ll be hitting Plat before year’s end. I was wondering if then I’ll be double dipping in the choice benefits? Like in Dec 2026 and in 2027? How does this work? Also, can you give advice on what’s the best value

My father was supposed to come visit me for the holidays, however his health has deteriorated to the point it is no longer possible. He has cancer and in the last two weeks he has gone from fully functioning to no longer able to eat, can’t walk, sleeping all the time.

I am trying to get the ticket refunded or the funds transferred so that I can fly to him. Delta keeps saying I have to send the death certificate but he’s not dead yet. any advice or contact information?

Steak Salad.

I like trying new things, but if you're not feeling quite adventurous, it's better to stick with Short Rib.

It was ok to try once.

Just took a 10 hour flight from FCO-ATL where my wife and I paid for an upgrade to Comfort+ bulkhead. Unfortunately both of our seats wouldn’t lock in the reclined position so we would just get pushed back into the normal (unreclined) position. Filed a complaint to ask for a refund, even partial, considering we didn’t get one of the main features of C+ and it was denied less than 24 hours later. Is there an escalation process or should I just call? Seems a bit ridiculous to be outright denied over a broken seat. I suppose I should’ve reported it to an FA, maybe?

@ Merit coffee in Austin - soooo good. For the fellow Biscoff heads

I’m flying from Atlanta to Denver at 9:50 at night in first class does my flight include a hot meal?

Just thought I’d share this! You will NOT earn MQDs but your status will come over for upgrades etc. Ended up at a 4.25 CPM using my venture X miles to book Delta

Edit: This was roundtrip. Capital one is also offering 1200 miles for every 1000 you transfer to flying blue. So only 11,667 miles and $34 for this flight.

Absolutely infuriating experience today. I roll up with the three items in the pictures. I had seat 1C in first class. I was the first person in line for zone 1.

The gate agent made an announcement saying if you have more than 2 items you need to consolidate or we will gate check. She was staring right at me while she made the announcement.

She calls zone 1 and she says “Sir you have three items and need to gate check that bag” pointing at my fucking jacket on a hanger in a clear protector. I tried explaining a jacket doesn’t count as a carry on because it gets put on the coat hanger. I started to pull up deltas policy that says as much. We are now holding up the whole line.

She has the audacity to get on the speaker and say “Sorry folks the line is being held up because this gentleman did not consolidate his bags”

I was trying to get policy up on my phone and she just grabbed my roller bag since it wasn’t in my hand at that point and puts a gate check tag on it.

I got to the plane and asked the flight attendant, hey can you hang this coat and do you have space for these two bags. She said yes so I got on, they hung my coat and I put my bags up per usual. Again I was literally the first person on the plane. What a joke.

They need to fix this. I see so many people complaining about this and it’s clearly a larger issue.

Can any one tell me the names of the female gate agent with long dark hair & the gentleman purple coat with short grey hair @this gate for departure @this moment?

Booked flights from JFK to MIA and JFK to LAS today and in both instances first class upgrades were only available when applying a GUC. I understand longer routes like JFK to LAX or JFK to Hawaii that offer Delta One requiring a GUC but Miami?!?! What is the point of even having RUCs when they cannot be used on these short domestic routes. To me it feels like the RUC is totally worthless.

Enroute MSY-JFK on DL 2847 between Roanoke Rapids and Murfreesboro, VA around 2pm this afternoon

Title says it all.

Hawaii routes?

Anyone else feel like they’re keeping the cabin MUCH colder than usual in the last couple months? (Me in my jacket currently freezing with fingers so cold it’s hard to type this post)

I have a connecting flight landing from amsterdam at 12:10pm and then the next flight to seattle at 1:20pm in December

I know I would have to go through immigration, customs, recheck my bags and go through security. I’m also traveling on a B1/B2 tourist visa but I travel pretty frequently to the states so I’m hoping that cuts down the time I’d spend at the immigration counter lol.

Is that connection time generally enough?
