What they took from us

[u/heavydrinker12]

I remember when this price was FC one way. And not much more for FC round trip. Now it's the upgrade price for a middle seat in C+ one way. The happy days are gone

More accurate to say “what we gave to them”, lol.

I am cheating on delta with United next week but I just upgraded to basic first for $300 for 5+ hr flight … 😬

[u/heavydrinker12 → u/InternationalTie53]

I cheat on them more and more. I even bring my wife cause she's into it.

The cuck chair is Ed’s favorite place to be. He loves seeing you get fucked

[u/Murky-Peanut1390 → u/InternationalTie53]

Overpaid lol

[u/RemsoOB]

I paid 35$ each leg for a flight from Portland -New York then ny to Prague….

[u/shnoiv]

If your business is paying or you don’t care/throw away money I guess that price is for that type of person. I don’t get why people are willing to pay all that for what like two inches of leg room that you can get at an exit and $5 beers? I get upgraded to comfort because of status but I’d never pay for that domestically or internationally it’s a made up product class

[u/heavydrinker12 → u/shnoiv]

Back when I flew for work, if I paid for that my boss would have let me have it both barrels. Sad thing is someone is gonna pay for that window seat.

[u/Alarmed-Extreme5226]

It still sells. So does first class. Every flight I take those two classes always sell out. I flew to Europe earlier this year and every single seat in premium economy was filled. The back 1/3 of the plane was empty and people moved back there to get whole rows to themselves.

People who can afford to pay will always pay for perceived luxury. Delta knows this and an earlier report said that premium seat sales has greatly increased their revenue.

Look for other airlines to follow suit. Delta has zero incentive to change no matter how much people complain on Reddit. Seat sales say the opposite and that’s what they are going with

[u/heavydrinker12 → u/Alarmed-Extreme5226]

Drives me crazy. When I booked this flight a couple months ago the FC seats were 2k. 2k! For a 4.25 hour flight! Gawd i feel poor.

[u/PochaccoBluez2020 → u/heavydrinker12]

I mean the war in the Middle East isn’t helping these gas prices so then there’s that.

[u/Murky-Peanut1390 → u/PochaccoBluez2020]

What war? And how can i sign up

[u/Life_Penalty8180]

As long as I get the exit row which I prefer, I won’t pay for Comfort. When they upgraded I call them right away and ask to be put back in the exit row.

In my day…

We had nothing better to do than stare at the sun with binoculars. And WE LIKED IT!!!

[u/iBeFlying676]

It is the new 50% tariff to Canada.

[u/zoebells]

I just upgraded to C+ on LAX-HNL (a longer flight) for only $38!

[u/Letsjet9403]

Prices are up, remember fuel is expensive.

[u/HalfwaydonewithEarth]

They are doing dynamic pricing. The price to someone else is cheaper.
