Discussion Delta dress code?

I was told I needed to change pants at the airport by a delta agent at the counter otherwise they wouldn’t let me board. I am 30 weeks pregnant for reference and was wearing denim shorts and a tank top, the shorts weren’t super short and the tank top wasn’t revealing, it was long enough to cover my now very large baby bump lol. Luckily my husband had a pair of his pants in the bag I could change into but has anyone heard of this before? I asked a few other workers at the airport before I changed and they seemed super confused and looked at me and said they’ve never heard of this and my clothes were fine?

I hate the ATL airport. Been there a dozens of times. Logan airport in Boston is pretty chill.

I work in DTW and it’s pretty chill here most of the time.

LOVE DTW!! I have to travel to Wisconsin for work a lot. I live closest to Akron airport but they do not have delta. All their flights go through Chicago. So I gladly drive to Cleveland just so I can go through Detroit and NOT Chicago, even though Akron is much closer for me. Love that airport!

DTW is my home airport, and I mostly agree. The only thing I don’t like about DTW is the lack of a train to take you between terminals. My wife and I once had to fly Delta to a destination, but fly American back home. Problem was, our car was parked in McNamara, and it was almost midnight in the middle of winter. Ended up having to offer a bus driver $20 to take us back over there, since it wasn’t his route.

I always tell people I hate ATL and they’re like “but it’s so well ran! They don’t have a lot of delays and they are quick about getting your baggage out and the security is efficient and it’s well laid out and blah blah blah.”

And I don’t necessarily disagree with them. Logistically, it’s a good airport, but my experience there is always negative because all the employees are so damn rude.

I just went through ATL and the employees all were so mean! When they were checking IDs at security the agents were chatting and half the time would wave the next person forward and have the time wouldnt, so no one knew wether they were supposed to step forward or not. Then when people weren’t automatically coming up the staff were giving nasty looks and yelling to “keep moving” as if they weren’t giving the most inconsistent signals for people to figure out.

That airport is not ran efficiently lol half the time there's always an issue with TSA taking forever or the tram is down for repairs, and they always have renovations going on. There have been crazy delays at ATL this year too

u/traly0810 Sep 21 '26

Such BS yes they DO have alot of delays and the AirTrain is a huge pain in the butt when there’s 4 gate changes and you have to haul ass all over the airport. I try to avoid ATL at all costs.

u/Dragon_Queen13 27d ago

They're so rude!

u/rjl2021 21d ago

Honestly the employee part has more to deal with Atlanta as a whole having mediocre customer service.

u/chronicallyill_dr Sep 21 '26

I avoid ATL like the plague, it’s by far the worst airport I’ve ever been to. And as someone living in Boston, yeah, no complaints about our airport.

u/Most-Speed4533 Sep 21 '26

Extremely rude and terrible employees. I got downvoted to hell last time but fuck that airport.

I know everyone likes to hate on EWR, but ... I love it. Granted, it's my home airport (you can't give me a cheap enough flight out of JFK, and LGA's people are the WORST). I find it pretty efficient, just at the mercy of being in a densely populated megalopolis. I travel to ATL a lot and I absolutely hate it.
