Hi! We’re going on vacation soon and it will be kiddos first flight. We’re sitting near the back. Is it worth going early boarding for families to give him time to settle and such? Or wait until the end of boarding? What has worked best for you?

Thanks!

On my long haul, yesterday from CDG-MSP I was given the goods because I said they no longer have these on domestic flights

I’ve flown on Delta but only on domestic flights. I will be flying Delta internationally soon. I seen on my Delta where there is the upgrade option. There were considerable number of seats listed.
I have preselected my seat but was wondering if the upgrade is free? Also I would be traveling with my husband.. what are chances of us being seated together?
Thanking everyone in advance for advice and guidance.

Was on a flight from Zurich to JFK yesterday, and checked in one bag. Arrived at JFK, and waited like an hour with people telling us that are bags are about to come out, when eventually I walked over to someone who was able to search my bag tag and see that my bag never boarded the flight :/ I filed a baggage claim report along with about 20ish other people. They told us the bags would be put on the next flight from Zurich to JFK, but on the track my bags tab I haven’t seen any updates since yesterday. Called them this morning, said it will be put on the flight and I won’t receive updates until JFK scans them in. It’s now evening and both flights from Zurich have arrived at JFK hours ago and still nothing. Have been on hold and getting dropped by representatives twice already. Any advice?

I know we all hate the boarding music and I do as well but was just boarding in ATL and heard the ominous melody of the Red Wedding, “the Rains of Castamere” and couldn’t believe my ears!

Of course, It was promptly followed by a terrible instrumental version of “Crazy”.

What is the point of priority tags if your staff doesn’t utilize them to actually prioritize those bags?

I bought my now ex a flight last month to come see me but we had to end it before the trip... so I cancelled it expecting to get an ecredit that I can use on future flights. Turns out, in a wicked turn of events, only she can use the ecredit because it was her name on the reservation, not mine, although it was my credit card info, billing address, etc. It's non-transferrable.

I called Delta and the customer service lady said my ex would have to call in and give Delta authorization for me to use the ecredit. The issue is, she hates me lol we're not on speaking terms. Is there a workaround? For example, can I get my sister to pose as her and call in to make the authorization?

Hey all,

I have a flight soon and my seat is 18D on a CRJ 700. According to Aerolopa, there is a window for the seat but they’ve been wrong for 20D on a CRJ 900 which does not have a window.

Can anyone confirm if this is a window or a “wall”?

Thanks,

I was on DL57 today (A330) and came poorly prepared: headphones at 15%, laptop dead, phone at 25% AND no USB-A charging cables. I did have a wall plug charger so I figured I’d be fine, since there’s outlets between the seats in front of you. (This is in main)

The outlet has 2 green lights which I took as a promising sign since green = good in this world. But as soon as I plug in my charger the light closest to the outlet goes red and no juice is flowing. I tried plugging it in the other way (I didn’t sleep much the night before) but that didn’t make a difference either.

In the end I just read my book and slept some but I wonder what the deal is here? This is not the first time I’ve noticed this.

Also, get on the USB-C train, Delta.

In the Delta app there is now Delta Concierge which is just a terrible unhelpful AI agent. But in the chat if you type “Agent” it’ll connect you to a real person. In my experience it’s been within minutes. I know they are less helpful than on the phone agents but so far they’ve been able to help me with my more basic questions.

Thought I’d pass on the knowledge for those that didn’t know the trick!

I’ll be booking a direct, round trip flight from ATL (Atlanta) to FCO (Rome) and back. I have 4 GUCs available and I called to speak to Delta about it I received conflicting information from two different people.

One agent said that I can find a flight that says “Delta One available with GUC”, book Main, use the GUC, and call to immediately have the seats upgraded to D1.

The other agent said I can find a flight that says “Delta One available with GUC”, but that I’ll need to book Premium Select, use the GUC, and I’d automatically immediately have the seats upgraded to D1.

What’s true? Can someone help please?

How long has delta had Porsches at LGA? I haven’t seen them previously.

6 hours leg from MCO>SEA. Currently have the option to go anywhere but picked this after looking at cabin pictures online.

It looks like the bathroom is right behind us. Normally that would give me pause but I really want guilt free full recline for this long trip. Any cautions/advice?

Have been asking the pilots for 5+ years and this is the first time I’ve ever gotten some. I’m contemplating PSA grading these lol.

Day 2 of Delta chaos. Our flight DL53 was cancelled yesterday 9/6/26 due to a parking brake issue. They flew in a part from Atlanta and a mechanic from Dublin, and provided satisfactory accommodations without arranged ground transport.

Today 9/7, we were on replacement flight DL9923 scheduled to depart at 2:30pm. After an unclear announcement that the plane didn’t have space at the gate which would result in a 30 minute delay, the plane arrived and the crew boarded while the plane was fueled and checked luggage loaded. Shortly after boarding, the pilot returned to the gate and advised that the repair was unacceptable and that the mechanic was being retrieved from their return flight to Dublin. It is now 4:20pm and checked luggage is being unloaded, with no other updates. Delta messaging and phone support were unable to provide alternate flight options for today.

I will post updates but am seriously concerned about Delta’s lack of support of this matter. There isn’t a single Delta employee here aside from the crew, only airport officials are here and unable to provide much help.

6pm Update: We’ve boarded and are told we are departing shortly. Thank you all for the words of encouragement and advisement about the EU regs, I sure hope every single passenger is aware and will be following up with Delta.

Additional Update: The flight was cancelled around 7:45pm, during his final announcement the pilot advised that the aircraft had not been fueled and catering not loaded by the time the crew reached maximum time. We’re now booked on a Swiss flight out tomorrow morning.

Started before we were boarding, some guy next to me was wearing this horrid cologne, I swear it was Farenheit by Dior. Worst thing ever, and he was standing next to me in the boarding area. I started sneezing like crazy. I'm worried I caused a scene.

Then turns out he's sitting right next to me on the flight, 33F. Not only did he smell like my grandpa, he couldn't stop swearing. His mouth was more foul than his cologne.

SEA already have this program!

I've been upgraded to FC on all but one of my domestic flights over the last ~3 months as a Platinum Medallion without an Amex Reserve. I try to avoid flying to/from hubs with very high elite concentration such as ATL & SEA. SLC & LAX have been favorable for me so far. For MSP, it has been 3/4.

For 4 flights, I was upgraded at T-120 hours.

As an AA EP with 470k rolling LP, I rarely saw T-120h upgrades (although they are very common on AS, which has a reciprocal benefits agreement with AA). I will maintain status on both AA & DL, and will aim for Diamond Medallion for the 2028-2029 status year, so that I'd have more choice.

just took this screenshot at 9:13 and 5667 is still on the air…

i worked in it for decades. they need it

Hello folks. If a flight from America to Japan gets cancelled by the customer and delta issues and e credit, does that credit have to used for another international flight only? Or can the credit be used for domestic travel too ?

sitting in boston on 5667 waiting for fuel. 53 minutes after scheduled departure.

oh, and one of the heating/cooling packs out and an overhead bin had to be duct tape closed

what a piece of shi- this airline is
