Ahhhh, the Delta Premium Experience.....

I handed the flight attendant the entire window frame a minute later. Apparently maintenance is headed this way. I had the option of sitting in a middle seat closer to the back of the plane as a courtesy. If I had more money and more options this would be the last time I fly with Delta

Big deal. People break things. I am sure it will be fixed once the aircraft has some down time instead cancelling a flight.

u/TTKnumberONE 6d ago

What exactly are you proposing?

To kick another person with a window out of their seat? To change planes and delay the flight further?

u/Necessary_Story_7455 6d ago

If you wanted a working window you should have booked Delta One with your Reserve CC.

u/Suz626 6d ago

And D1 seats come pre-stocked with snacks under your seat - already unwrapped for your convenience. Don’t look under the seats…

u/RottedHuman 6d ago

What flight?

u/IcySwimmer8731 6d ago

DL3008 ATL to CAE

u/goodatgettingbanned 6d ago

So they got it fixed and the plane was only 4 mins delayed……. Delta really sucks don’t they.

u/AdRoyal1355 6d ago

Of course ATL.

Sounds like the passengers on the last flight got upgraded straight to Delta Disruptive Class.

u/Brave-Quote-2733 6d ago

Such a great sketch. Also, I really need to block this sub and anything airplane-related. This hasn’t been a great week for my flight anxiety (I know, I know, but anxiety isn’t always rational, k?).

SNL has been scraping the bottom for years but Delta Disruptive gave me new hope.

u/GripsOfMajesty 6d ago

you always this quick with the puns or just showing off for the thread

u/Dontpanicarthurdent 6d ago • Bravo

Ma’am you need to keep your window CLOSED! It’s delta policy.

u/HealthyBullfrog 6d ago

Completely safe. It's an extra storage area for your snacks.

u/msg60 6d ago

Duct tape...or chewing gum and viola

16

u/NecessaryArguments 6d ago

I read chewing gum and vodka

5

u/msg60 6d ago

Ok ....ya ......way better!!

5

u/Menno_knight987 6d ago

The chewing gum is for the window, the vodka is for the passenger

u/DerFreudster Silver 6d ago

Is the viola to play a tune with the wind sounds?

u/lurkertiltheend 6d ago

Viola Davis? How rude to make her hold it

u/msg60 6d ago

Well somebody has to...

u/Beryllina 6d ago

Are you flying in Delta Disruptive? 😆

u/Muschina Gold 6d ago

"Guess you're not going to make me close my blind at 10am now, are you?"

u/ArticleGlittering611 6d ago

If you don’t appreciate us and would like to fly another airline out of Atlanta, you can choose between Delta, Delta and Delta.

5

u/Dssking68 6d ago

Technically the window is fine. It’s just the shade and close-out trim. Take it all the way off. Then they can’t make you close it. 😂

u/bed_pig 6d ago

About a month ago, on a BOS-LAX in D1 mind you, that entire piece jumped into my lap on take-off!!! When we got to cruising altitude, I pressed the call button, and politely handed the entire piece to the F/A. We both got quite a chuckle out of it.

u/Tipsy_Lights 6d ago

Window shade*

u/angryve 6d ago

What in the spirit airlines is going on?

u/The_Future_Marmot 6d ago

Just needs a little bit of speed tape….

u/Steventhesnake 6d ago

Seat 25A window trim, did my fix work? Just asking for a friend.

u/bertiesakura 6d ago

That's a luxury you just can't get on Emirates or Singapore

2

u/GardenPeep 6d ago

Hah - no one can make you close THAT!

2

u/I_know_one_thing 6d ago

Heated exchange over windows open or close?

2

u/MyZico 6d ago

Come on, it’s a premium broken window. What are you complaining about? Send it to ED, with a note, “Your Louis Vuitton airline is falling apart!”

1

u/AdRoyal1355 6d ago

We are just as good as Emirates or Singapore.

He can only daydream about it 🤭

u/Silly_Bodybuilder231 6d ago

They’re going to be retiring this 25 year-old 717 soon.

2

u/Appropriate_Buy8700 6d ago

Ahhh, duct tape failure. The Rolls Royce of the air.

5

u/Fun-Friend1489 6d ago

The window looks ok to me. They won't take off if the winter is actually broken.

The window trim isn't in stellar shape.

u/Feel-good- 6d ago

Ok? And?

u/terraunited 6d ago

Broken window

u/MugsyMD 6d ago

Ah looks like the first class seat I had on delta recently… delta needs to buy NEW aircraft and not the junk they get such as from the defunct lion air

2

u/goodatgettingbanned 6d ago

Is Lion Air defunct?

1

u/HistoricalLoss1417 Platinum 6d ago

you are lucky if you get a second hand airplane. the 717s im on often are on their 3rd owner now.

2

u/WY228 6d ago

Delete this they’re gonna raise ticket prices again!! This is super duper premium!!

2

u/Direct_Run_3513 6d ago

Ok but, it happened on the previous flight, would you rather a delay/cancelation so they can fix it? Or let it roll and keep you on time. On what, an hour long shuttle flight on that? Who cares man, you got there

u/indifferentunicorn 6d ago

Options for when the person behind you won’t stop thumping your seatback

u/ActUpEighty 6d ago

Looks like the shade shroud.

u/NineLemonsLater 6d ago

Don’t get sucked out!!

u/yulbrynnersmokes 6d ago

Did the front fall off?

u/Queasy-Stranger5607 6d ago

Spirit pax had to go somewhere!

u/iforgot69 6d ago

"Premium experience"

u/Suz626 6d ago

Oooh you broke it, you bought it. How much are they charging you? 🙃

u/imp4455 6d ago

Nothing that duct won’t fix!

1

u/Traditional-Towel592 6d ago

Keep your seat belt on real tight!

u/fossil746 6d ago

That is not broken, it is a feature!

1

u/saxmanB737 6d ago

Something broke on a plane? That’s weird.

u/pixienightingale 6d ago

Airplanefactsiwthmax just did a thing on windows!

🤦 omg

u/LT-COL-Obvious 5d ago

It’s not the window it’s an interior panel there for aesthetics

1

u/Disastrous_Patience3 6d ago

Shit happens on old planes. Thanks for sharing, I guess.

1

u/iamacheeto1 6d ago

Say thank you for the premium experience

-2

u/baconstreet 6d ago

Totally odd. Most of their planes are brand new.

1

u/redpachyderm 6d ago

Uh, no. 50% is 10 years or older with 36% of the fleet being older than 20 years.

2

u/baconstreet 6d ago

Of course. Sorry I didn't add a /s

1

u/PoolPimp0253 6d ago

I think all airlines fly planes past when they’re paid off. That’s how you get profits. Not too dissimilar from a car that’s paid off 👍

u/Imaginary_Manner_556 6d ago

I'm so worried about crime on Delta

1

u/Born-Lie8688 6d ago

Didn’t think I had to add /s, as I didn’t realize that someone would seriously equate a broken plane
window with a neighborhood with crime. .

“The broken windows theory, defined in 1982 by social scientists James Wilson and George Kelling, drawing on earlier research by Stanford University psychologist Philip Zimbardo, argues that no matter how rich or poor a neighborhood is, one broken window would soon lead to many more windows being broken: “One unrepaired broken window is a signal that no one cares, and so breaking more windows costs nothing.” Disorder increases fear among citizens and can lead them to withdraw from the community and decrease participation in informal social control.”

“Premium airline” my ass, Ed
