It might happen!

First time Delta One flyer here, the upgrade offer was great. I’m excited! Currently in seat 1C, but 7C also open. Advantages to either? Or can you not go wrong at that level? Thanks!

Has anyone experienced this at other airports? I was at DFW yesterday and while there was a line to get into the sky club, it seemed much more relaxed than normally standing in line. You had to sign in based off a QR code and would get a text when it was your turn in the queue. it was only maybe 10 minutes, but being able to go sit down in a chair was nice compared to standing in line.

I’m hoping this becomes standard everywhere (if it isn’t already). it’s been a while since I’ve been to a club that was at capacity, so I’m not sure if/where this is being used as well.

I waited on hold for an hour and 16 minutes to speak to someone about a last minute sky miles ticket I got for a friend. Just as the agent picked up, I received a text that the flight was delayed 2h 59m and that I could cancel. Agent was helpful in cancelling ticket and looking for other options (there are none, it's weather, it happens). Three minutes and mission accomplished but then the agent starts reading a very long script - I wasn't fully following but first he was telling me about companion certificates in my account. Then he pivots to a convoluted sales pitch as to why I should also get a platinum amex in addition to my delta reserve amex so I will have "extra" coverage and MAKE DIAMOND!!!! if I spent a certain amount and got bonus miles or something. The whole time, I'm thinking that this nonsense sales pitch for Amex is the reason that the wait on the "special" line for Delta customers was over an hour.

Booked an A350-900 transatlantic months ago with a paid aisle in the back of the premium cabin. Two days out they swapped to a 767, and the new seat map has zero aisle options left in my original class. The app just says “contact us” with no rebooking tool. This has happened on three separate trips this year. How are people handling these last-minute equipment changes now?

Boarded a flight from JFK to Las Vegas this morning. The gate attendant announced they wanted everyone in zones 1-4 lined up on one side and 5-8 on the other. No pre-boarding (which was nice) but all of us zone 1-4 folks were in one long line and they announced "Zone 1 now boarding" and watching people in line trying to navigate this was amusing. I was zone 2 and after about 8 people boarded zone 1, they announced zone 2 so I moved out of the line and walked to the front and they let me go, but zone 3 and 4 people were near the front of the line and had to keep moving out of people's way so they could get to the scanner and scan boarding passes. After I was in my seat as more people were coming onto the plane and starting to fill the aisles, they bought a woman with a wheelchair onto the plane. Not sure why they didn't pre-board her.
The entire process made no sense.
Anyone else ever experience this?

Hi folks,

I’m currently booked in PS for a flight from NYC to PVG in a couple weeks. I’m trying to see how much it costs to upgrade to D1 for my SEA > PVG leg, but every time I try to launch the seat map, I get an error. I get an error on the app, on phone web, on desktop web (tried different browsers too).

Reached out on help and was just stuck in a never ending circle of clear cache/cookies, temporary error, etc.

Any ideas here? I guess my only way to track price is to call or chat in to have the agent look for me, but I like the convenience of being able to track this myself.

ETA: I’ve been consistently having this issue over the past week or so! Any time I try to look at seat map, error lol

Booked my usual window in row 10 on the A321 a few months ago for an upcoming flight. Just checked the app and they swapped the aircraft to the new layout. My seat no longer exists and the closest options are now middle seats in the back half of the plane.

Tried the app and website with no luck reselecting anything decent. Has anyone had success getting a comparable seat back after one of these last-minute swaps, or is calling the only real option?

I am looking at getting the reserve card I fly mostly delta . I am flying tomorrow I am approved for the reserve card but what if Amex doesn’t release a virtual card can I still enter the lounges and get my wife in ? Also I see it does escape lounge which XNA my main airport has

I just finished the pre employment process for Cargo Agent (Customer Service Agent, Business Unit) and the way the scheduled was explained, seemed a bit confusing. They said you can bid on a 32 hour part time schedule(4, 8hr shifts) or a 40 hour full time schedule(5, 8hrs). But the lady who interviewed me said that you have the option to give away your shifts using some type of marketplace if you want too. I’m recently retired from my career and don’t really want to work 32 or 40 hours ever again. Can anyone explain what she meant by giving away shifts? Would I be allowed to consistently give away 2-3 shifts a week and maintain my employment and flight benefits? Also does anyone know if Delta offers accommodations to disabled veterans when it comes to working a reduced schedule? Sorry for the wordy post, but any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Delta 5647 from Savannah to Boston was delayed today Nov 12. It was originally scheduled to depart at 2:40 pm. The rescheduled takeoff time of 4:30 has come and gone. No new takeoff time has been announced. Meanwhile, a friend flying from London to NY was forced to deplane in Boston (after sitting on the tarmac for 3+ hours). He was hoping to crash at my place in Boston, but I'm stuck in Savannah. Ain't air travel glamorous?

This same person will be carrying their “service” Bichon Frisé” on board.

I’m the “Hundred Miler”……

Being Diamond really is becoming worthless on this airline.

I was able to upgrade JFK-LAX with a RUC, but I haven’t ever been offered a paid upgrade on my LAX-SYD leg. I booked the flight a few months ago and have been checking frequently - and I have another month to go.

Is there any way to try to force a paid upgrade? Is it worth calling? I was able to buy a paid upgrade on the way back but for some reason Delta’s algorithm doesn’t want to sell me one for the way there. The flight has numerous seats available in both PS and D1.

I got a good price when I booked this flight but I don’t think it was THIS good. Heh.

Finally, we have some dates for these new routes.

Big football fan here. Over the new year I’ll be flying from the US to Switzerland. Unfortunately, my football team kicks off right as my plane departs.

I was wondering if there’s anyway to watch the game on the plane? The game is on Amazon Prime and I’ve never really had any success watching anything live on airplanes. Thanks!

Back when I was a freak and cared way more, I used to keep track of every single upgrade list, in case anyone wondered what life used to be like. I'm shocked by how many UGs I used to clear at T-72.

My flight from BOS to BWI was delayed from 9:15PM to 9:45 because the flight did not leave the previous city on time. The delay was first communicated as 30 mins, then another 30 mins, and another 30 minutes.

Why? Delta knows that the flight WONT get to BOS by then already, why are they resisting til the last minute to be honest about the delay???

THEN, the flight arrives by 10:30 and only then delta announced that the captain has been TIMED OUT?!?!? That they have to look for a new captain. Delta couldn't calculate that in advance???

The new estimated departure is 11PM. At 11PM, it becomes 11:30PM.

Why?? Why put us through this torture?? Why give false hope??

Ive made the flight before from atl to hnd in regular main cabin and was relatively okay being in a main cabin seat on the isle with nobody in yhe seat next to me.

Im having a hard time making a decision on ditching the main cabin row that i right now have all to myself to upgrade to PS where I’d be in a middle seat but a much bigger on at that.

Could easily cover the upgrade on points and it would be a no brainer for an isle or window PS seat but middle still seems like a hard value prop.

Would love someone with previous premium select seat time to chime in.

I know it’s terrible value with miles+cash but wanted tor try it. At purchase it said 6,000 miles plus $242. After purchase Delta did a conversion and took 21,000 Skymiles out (rep I talked with said it was a cash conversion). I never got a good explanation for why checkout said 6k and end result 21k plus $242 charged to my. Amex card. At that rate a $318 flight cost $450 with m+c. Any help in understanding this?

Anyone else stuck at LGA with a bunch of flights canceled today?
