Delta Air Lines

Has anyone seen passengers who volunteered to gate-check their carry-on bags being allowed to board during the pre-boarding phase? On a recent Delta flight, around 40 passengers boarded during pre-boarding under the announcement “those who volunteered to check their carry-on,...

This is a light, humorous reflection on a preflight moment during a Delta flight. Before departure, the passenger briefly interacted with the cockpit crew while the door was open and jokingly said, “good luck, we’re all counting on you.” The pilots responded positively,...

I’m a Delta Platinum Medallion member with both Delta Amex Platinum and Reserve cards. I had booked a June trip using an Amex companion pass a few weeks ago. The booking was confirmed, paid for, and I had already selected seats. Today, I suddenly received an email stating that...

I travel frequently on long haul flights, around 10 to 15 times a year, and I have celiac disease. Because of this, I always request a gluten free meal right after booking. Despite doing this properly, 3 out of my last 6 flights did not provide my requested meal. On two...

I recently had a flight with Delta Air Lines where I had pre-booked and paid extra for Comfort Class seats months in advance so my partner and I could sit together. On the day of the flight, we boarded a bit late due to helping return a lost wallet. When we got to our seats, we...

I was on an international Delta flight when a mother and her teenage son were seated in the main cabin. Just before boarding finished, the mother called a flight attendant and asked if her son could be moved to Delta One, saying he would really like to sit in first class. The...

I’m looking for advice after a frustrating experience at JFK on April 15. I booked two tickets from New York to Copenhagen directly through SAS (117 ticket numbers), with the flight operated by Delta. I even confirmed the booking with SAS the night before, and everything seemed...

Was flying back to ATL from LHR. We were seated at the gate when the delta app showed we'd been upgraded from our premium select seats to D1 & the gate agent called up our names to get our passes reissued. It was an unexpected surprise and my mum's first time in business class...

Hello, I was on a recent flight and noticed the last passenger to board appeared visibly unwell and was carrying a plastic grocery bag. After she sat down next to me, I realized the bag contained vomit and that she had likely been actively sick before boarding the aircraft. This...

After leaving my corporate job, I decided to stop paying the premium for Delta Air Lines and tried Frontier Airlines for a direct ATL to LAS flight. The ticket was about 3 times cheaper than Delta. Overall impressions: Crew was great, young and enthusiastic Seats were fine for...

I was trying to fix a name issue on my upcoming Delta flight this Friday. I contacted Delta support through the app and was told I needed to call customer service, and they provided me with a phone number. I called the number, and the person on the line asked for my credit card...

This might be a pointless rant, since most of us have dealt with annoying seatmates, but this one stood out. On my Delta Air Lines flight from MSP to BOS in Comfort+, the passenger behind me spent most of the trip talking extremely loudly with friends nearby. It was disruptive...

On a flight with Delta Air Lines, I had pre-ordered waffles for breakfast while seated in first class. During meal service, a flight attendant apologized and said the waffles were unavailable, so I chose a different option without making an issue of it. Later in the flight,...

My wife is accompanying me on a business trip to Las Vegas this week. My employer has booked me in first class, while we used miles to purchase an economy seat for her on Delta Air Lines. I feel uncomfortable with the seating arrangement because I fly frequently for work, but...

I don’t care if you’re seated in first class, please stop putting your bags in the overhead bins above the first row when you have other options. Passengers in those seats don’t have under-seat storage, so they rely entirely on overhead space. Meanwhile, my bag (from Comfort...

I booked five tickets with Delta Air Lines for my family, including three kids aged 12, 9, and 4, on a flight from Montréal–Trudeau International Airport to Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport. We paid extra in advance to choose seats so we could all sit together....

I normally prefer flying Delta and have been loyal for around 30 years, but for an upcoming mid-May mid-week trip, I compared options through my work travel portal. A United flight to IAD was priced at $413, while the comparable Delta option was $640. The price difference made...
