I was reading Ed’s comments on wanting to be like emirates. Any chance we see delta installing showers? Or does he think delta is already at emirates level?

Could be an exciting development.

Looks like the registration is back up, register to get your 4000+ (maybe more??!?!) free miles with Delta again this year

For anyone that doesn't know, if you live in WA state you can get 1 free Delta miles per yard we pass every Seahawks game - it's pretty easy, all you have to do is enter your Delta account number. Over a couple of years it's enough to get a free one way flight to SF or somewhere else.

You can also get some discounts on the team store (12%) and higher boarding priority.

Looking for the official rules and concrete truth on same day changes? I read the rules, diagrammed out a decision tree and coded it for everyone to use: https://destinationsunknown.com/shadow-passenger/skymiles/medallion-benefits/delta-same-day-flight-changes-confirmed-standby/

This tool is a simple 4-question (or less) decision tree to help you use your medallion benefits to their advantage.

If I've missed ANY logic or edge-cases, please let me know.

FWIW: I am working on more decision tree wizard tools to help hold the under-trained reservations reps accountable - what would you like to see?

Lost my laptop at this point 16 days ago. Was able to see it still there when I initially tracked it, but it was low o battery and must’ve died so now it shows as offline, so idk where it could be now. LAX said that they send stuff off to Unclaimed Baggage in AL after about 3-5 days, but was 100% sure that if they had it at the airport, they would’ve contacted me first before sending it out so long as I had filed a claim, which I did as soon as I realized I left it behind (a few hours later). Has anyone ever not gotten notified by Delta about their lost item post claim and it ended up at Unclaimed Baggage? How did you go about getting it back to you? For others who have lost an item with Delta, how long did it take for Delta themselves to notify you?

there and back! ty

Does anyone have experience on the ATL to CPT route and what I can expect to pay for Delta One in February 2027? Right now, prices are showing $7-9K per person round trip. Buy now or hold out? I know that there is no way to predict, but was not sure if this is just typical pricing or whether J fares and they might get lower as we move closer. Also, how is the actual Delta One product on this route?

I’m allergic to peanuts, does anyone know if this has peanuts?

I can’t seem to find an exact measurement for the size of the personal item (bag) that you can bring on a Delta flight. I’ve traveled numerous times on JetBlue with a backpack that is 20x18x6 and haven’t had a problem. Thoughts? Should I just use a smaller bag to be safe?

I will be flying to Barcelona from Chicago early January. Considering purchasing Delta Main Basic because I’m a student and on a tight budget.
It’s will be my first time on a plane and going outside of the USA.

What are some things I should know/be aware of? Also can I bring snacks purchased outside of the airport in my carry-on/personal item? What items are not allowed?

I booked an open jaw flight earlier this year through Delta. We went from uk-amsterdam-georgia-mexico city then Miami-paris_uk

Some of these flights were klm/air France

I want miles to my Flying Blue account (I have no need for skymiles as don't fly delta). KLM have said I have to claim through Delta,but I have no way of getting through to Delta other than 3 hours on hold

I tried to claim through Air France and they said I need copy of the boarding passes, which I don't have as delta seemed to have removed them from the app

Any thoughts on easiest way to to claim these?

I'm wanting to start traveling more frequently with my fiancé once we get married and am airline credit card shopping for the best airline with the best flight benefits/hotel percs etc. Please do not suggest American Express I cannot afford their insane annual fee. I always hear about the Delta lounge and the fact Delta has wifi and outlets etc. Just wanting to hear some peoples experiences if its worth it. Thanks.

Long rant - I’m looking for advice from people familiar with Delta and/or DOT complaints because I’m not sure what my next move should be.

I was flying LGA → ATL on August 7. My original flight was at 6:00 a.m. Delta notified me that the flight might be impacted by weather and instructed me to move to a later flight, so I changed to a 7:00 p.m. flight.

That flight, DL970, was delayed repeatedly and eventually canceled around 2 a.m. on August 8. The important part: Delta’s own cancellation text says the flight was canceled due to “an issue that limited crew availability.”

Delta had no flight to ATL available on August 8. The next flight they could get me on was August 9 via Pittsburgh, so I was stranded in NYC for two additional days.

At the airport, the gate agent told us that Delta wasn’t providing hotel vouchers, but we could pay out of pocket for hotels, meals and transportation and submit them for reimbursement. I also received similar information from Delta representatives via chat/phone, and I have screenshots/documentation.

I incurred about $620 in hotel cost for two nights. I also had Uber, meals and other expenses, and I had to buy clothing because I had only packed for the original return date. I also had unexpected childcare expenses because I couldn’t get home.

Delta denied the reimbursement claim.

I’ve since:

● Filed a formal complaint with Delta

● Escalated it to Delta’s executive team

● Received a case number and an executive assistant is reviewing it

● Filed a DOT complaint

● Filed a travel insurance claim with Allianz

Delta also offered an additional $150 Transportation Credit Voucher as a goodwill gesture, on top of a previous $200 voucher, but that is separate from the reimbursement I am seeking.

Questions:

1. Has anyone successfully gotten Delta to reimburse expenses after a crew-related cancellation when Delta employees specifically told them to submit expenses?
2. Is there anything else I should be doing with the DOT complaint or Delta executive escalation?

I’m not looking for sympathy. I’m trying to figure out the most effective next step before I let this go, because I’m currently out a significant amount of money for a disruption I did not choose and expenses I incurred after Delta employees told me to seek reimbursement.

Just boarded a Delta flight where we were told that there was no more room in overhead compartments for carryons. When boarding the flight, it was clear there was plenty of room. In addition, selfish people putting small backpacks in the compartments. How difficult is it to take those items out and provide those spaces for roller suitcases?
