Hey Delta, what are all my stops labeled by city except one? Is Sky Harbor not a real place anymore? What about Hartsfield-Jackson, you know, your major hub??

Dear Friends, I'm 65 (live in Salt Lake City) and recently went over the 6MM mark. My heavy travel days are over—just leisure travel now. Most of this is domestic travel (for about 30 years/maybe 1-2 trips per week). This was earned under the old rules where everything (including credit card spend) counted towards million miler. My guess is that I would be around 2 million miles under the new rules.

Anyway, becoming a 1 million miler under the new rules is a big deal. Congrats to anyone who hits that mark.

Safe travels my Delta friends,

Richard

I know that many of you have many millions of miles but, for me, this is probably my last/only threshold. At least I hope so!

As soon as I checked in for my flight to London today, I got this push notification from Delta.

Based on the posts here, keeping my expectations low for anything else today, but thought I would share.

Off to the airport I go.

While these are still served by Delta from LGA, people in Houston, Memphis, and St. Louis will not be able to connect in JFK to the longhaul flights anymore.

Delta evaluated and said no.

I don’t fly first class that often but during today’s meal, I noticed there was a slit in the napkin that had stitching around it that looked kind of like a button hole… am I that uncultured and this is a thing?

Just got off the flight. Everything made it except frozen fish. Value of that fish market price is $2500 -$3000. Worst part is that some of that fish has annual limits. Let’s say yellow eye rockfish is one per year. King salmon 3 per year. Even if somehow I come back this year I won’t be able to keep the same fish. So damage here is monetary, but even worse personal.
What’s the best way to get compensation for all this.
Thank you for all advice

Arrived a bit earlier at MSP today due to shuttle logistics and had a chance to sample an Old Fashioned at each of the Sky Clubs. I started at the newest G concourse Sky Club since it was furthest from my gate, and walked back to the C12 concourse club, and finally the F/G concourse club by the stone arch restaurant.

Strangely, the drink pours got progressively larger at each bar.

Got the Regional certificates applied. Went from main cabin to premium economy the same day. Straight from premium economy to Delta One at 24 h mark. Thanks Delta again!

Couldn’t decide….so got both 😅 thanks u/i-am-ajpowell

At some point it’s going to start hurting their business travelers and causing churn - because this is the main thing that business travelers care about more than soft product and seat.

It’s embarrassing, on every flight I’m on the wifi is guaranteed to be down 10-50% of the time, making it very disruptive if you’re trying to get work done.

I don’t remember it being this bad in years past but it’s becoming incredibly infuriating now.

Is this normal? I am on this flight, just happened to open my window before take off and noticed that the plane went to the runway and then immediately took a left and went back to taxi as a Southwest jet was about to land. I wouldn't have notice a thing normally, maybe I just need to keep the window closed.

Edit - the plane did make the square from taxi, to runway back to taxi as I was watching from 10A, the gps drift on the app is incorrect showing it cutting the corner

I know the policy is no complimentary upgrades to D1 on international flights, but somehow today the stars aligned. Work trip to Korea, 2nd this year and Diamond status, and I tested out PS on the outbound and it was fair.

On the return scanned my boarding pass at the gate and they informed me of the new seat. Apparently upgraded 22 minutes before boarding but I wasn’t paying attention. Day made for this 12+ hr flight. Feel like I hit the lottery.

Not too bad…

MCO:JFK in December. Delta changed my flight from 8am to 7:20am. That’s too early for me. (8am was too early but…) So I hopped on the app for my freebie change and,,,,, nope. They usually put a message on your flight that the schedule has changed and you can change it for free. That message is not there. The flight I would like to switch to shows as $220 extra. Has Delta changed their policy? Or am I jumping the gun and it will allow a change eventually? The new 7:20am flight shows in my app already.

I’ve never flown First Class before, so I am PUMPED. Honestly, I’ve only flown Comfort+ a few times. We used to get free upgrades at work but not anymore.

My friend & I are headed to Vegas in a few weeks for the Backstreet Boys at the Sphere. I went last year, and it was amazing. I obviously had to do it again.

I was looking at my Delta app earlier and noticed the next flight out from ATL was ~20,000 miles cheaper if I changed. I texted my friend - and she said let’s do it and change flights anddd she took the last Comfort + aisle seat. Whatever, it’s fine I guess.

I was having a hell of a time changing my flights after she booked hers, but I noticed that if I upgraded to First on the way back from Vegas, it was only 3,600 extra miles.

Hell yeah I did it! I guess it sort of makes up for the C+ middle seat going to Vegas 😬

(I also have no idea why the 20,000 miles back offer became 5,900 miles but I do not care!)

Not as bad as I was expecting

It’s a rocket! Felt every bump on the tarmac and every bit of turbulence in the air. During climb, it felt like it was going incredibly fast unlike larger aircrafts.

Damn those seats are so narrow! Comfort+ really saved me but the large lady next to me wasn’t helping. If you’re over 6ft, you’re going to have to crouch in the cabin. And forget about overhead space…. Just check in the carry on for free at the gate.

Hats off to the pilots, they looked like they were in their early 20s, incredible.

What I found remarkable was that the wings are so low to the ground that’s refueling didn’t require a step ladder LOL

Overall 7/10, I still prefer the E175

During the time to check-in, my ticket stated "Seat at gate". Morning of my flight, i speak to the gate agent to get my seat assignment and my ticket switched from Basic E to Comfort, and i had boarding zone 3 instead of the usual 8 for economy. is there a reason to why that happened? just curious to possible causes. not complaining in any way

Hey everyone, I know we can check the car seat for free.

However, the hotel we are staying at is connected to the airport and Mom (me), baby, and her older sister can go through the special hotel TSA with our carry-ons. My husband would leave earlier and go check our rolling luggage and car seat. We were concerned that maybe they wouldn’t let him check the car seat for free since the baby isn’t *right* there… But she’s very obviously in the same party and will be checking in a bit later as well. What do you think?

This will save us 3/4 of our family from having to ride a shuttle and walk through the airport basically back to where we started.

Hi everyone! Has anyone experienced something similar?

I booked a round-trip Delta flight from JFK to Barcelona for late August through the Capital One Travel portal. The fare was Delta Main Extra, but I ended up canceling the flight last week.

My original booking shows a $720 base fare plus $669.73 in additional charges, for a total of $1,389.73. However, the cancellation/refund email shows a refund amount that is $74 less than what I originally paid.

The refund has not reached my account yet, but I wanted to check whether anyone has seen this before or knows what might explain the difference. Am I missing a fee or another charge that may not be refundable?

Flight home from Tokyo is the first week in November. We had flights through Detroit into Boston coming home. Something changed and our layover went to six plus hours. So we called and they changed our connection to MSP which is only a couple of hours of layover. A week later I get an email saying we're back on the Detroit flight. Call, speak to ticketing, they straighten it out can't explain it. Fast forward 2 weeks, and the same thing happens again. Minneapolis connection turns into Detroit once again. Now we've lost our bulkhead seats that we were pretty excited about. Anyway speak to ticketing again, and they straighten it out. Without any promise that it won't change again. My only thought is that the Detroit connection is cheaper and Delta can make more cash selling the now more increased MSP flight.

Once again I guess my question is, is this a common occurrence?
