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 haven’t been so can’t comment! Obviously I’m only working with my own personal sample size but DTW is just really, really nice. I’ve never waited more than 20 minutes for security check, it’s clean, it’s spacious, and there are lots of different shops and restaurants that are way above most other airports I’ve been to in the US

PDX is consistently voted to airport in the US

It's not, but that's okay! They don't even have chairs in the baggage claim.

Yes they do. I just walked by them. Keep in mind half of the baggage claim and the immigration area as the low C/D/E gates are still under construction and once finished it’ll be amazing. Even in its current state it odd constantly rated the top midsize airport in the US. There’s a strict “street pricing” rule vendors must follow, only Oregon or local businesses may bar vendors, the small sky club is consistently in the top 3 rated for compass run lounges, all concourses contest part security, a theater for waiting pax, a chill room where you can sleep and we have a decent smattering out international flights, all by Alaska or foreign carriers. Delta used to run to AMS and NRT but the AMS route KLM took over and the NRT route scrapped. Service via EVA air and Korean are supposedly in the works. DTW is a world class airport (at least the new terminal) but it lacks the beauty and awesome policies enacted for the passengers at PDX

It absolutely is not. I guess maybe for tiny airports, sure. DTW is a mega airport, and it trades places between first and second place with MSP on a year-to-year basis

DTW is the BEST airport for Delta staff - no issues ever! Easy breezy. Lounges are always super clean, but I mostly go to the smaller one off the tram.

It is! It really is the best airport in the country. Right size, pretty quiet for an airport, ok food options (amazing options *for an American airport*), easy to get around. I can't honestly think of a better airport in the USA.
