    We took a flight out of JFK to BNA on April 27th, 2026 at 8:30AM? Our flight Attendant was Mr. ** (not sure of the spelling)? Not only was he very polite and caring he actually made a "very stressful" trip more calming for us. He seemed to know we were uncomfortable and anxious? He cared for us in a very pleasant way - one which was much needed at the time. Please thank him for us. Mary Lou & Arthur **

    I needed my flight arrangements changed on short notice. My husband and I were helped by Star in customer care at the Indianapolis Airport. She was very patient and listened to understand, and did not interrupt. She then clarified to make sure she understood the problem. She proceeded to speak in gentle tones that were calming and spoke with confidence that immediately put me at ease. We shared a few laughs that made what felt like a heavy situation before now feel much lighter and fixable. She definitely has a ‘Can-Do’ attitude. Star, keep shining bright! You are definitely our Star!

      I accidentally bought the wrong dates for an upcoming flight, I am going through a divorce, am a teacher and Soldier so I do not make a whole lot of money. I was worried that Delta would charge me some type of fee even though they really do not need that money. They were kind and gracious to me, they did not charge me and I am grateful for their understanding, I will be flying with them again!

      On Friday April 24 We flew Delta Airlines Flight 153 from CDG to MSP. I was sitting in 1G. The Purser her name was Megan, was very professional and attentive. The whole MSP based crew was fantastic! Also Samir ** also made the flight experience great.

      If you want to get to your destination on time or the same day as scheduled, do not fly Delta. Delta delayed my first leg of my trip by an entire day. Trip home they have me delayed 2 hours so far. Both times caused me to miss my connections. No offer to compensate the passengers in any way, vouchers, partial refund, nothing! I asked about rental car reimbursement so I could just drive 9 hours home, but no.

      Delta rarely offers anything but water, coffee, and tea. Their planes rarely have the wifi or back of seat screens, their TV series availability on board is now limited to 4 series, and their planes are usually dingy and dirty with less legroom than Frontier. The late flights, canceled flights, and missed connections have occurred numerous times to me the past couple of years. Now it's gotten so routine I will no longer book with them going forward. I fly 1 to 10 times a month for business. Avoid Delta at ALL COST. You've been warned.

      Paid for First Class, Got Downgraded and Dismissed. I booked and paid full price for a First Class seat on Delta, expecting the service and comfort that comes with it. When my original flight was cancelled, I was rebooked on a later flight — but despite First Class seats being visibly available on that very flight, Delta refused to seat me in one. Instead, I was told I'd have to "file a claim" for reimbursement of the difference.

      This is unacceptable. I paid for a specific class of service, and when Delta cancelled their flight, it should be on them to honor what I paid for — not shuffle me into a lesser seat and hand me a claims form as an afterthought. Making customers jump through bureaucratic hoops to get back money they shouldn't have had to spend in the first place is poor treatment, especially when the fix (seating me in an open First Class seat) was sitting right there. If you're paying a premium for First Class, be aware: a schedule change on Delta's end could leave you in coach, with your only recourse being a drawn-out reimbursement process. Disappointing experience from an airline that should know better.

      This was one of the worst experiences we’ve had flying with Delta, which was especially disappointing because we usually choose Delta for its quality and service. Our flight from Florida to Utah (DL2031) was delayed three separate times. While I completely understand that weather and other circumstances can cause delays, the repeated changes made for a frustrating travel day.

      Once we boarded, the cabin had a very strong fish-like odor that remained throughout the entire flight. Unfortunately, the restrooms were also in poor condition and noticeably dirty, which only added to the disappointing experience. The staff was friendly. We know every airline has off days, but this flight didn’t reflect the level of quality we’ve come to expect from Delta. We hope this was simply an exception rather than the new standard.

      One star is pushing it. They only get a star for being reliable that not just one, but multiple things, will go wrong and impact your itinerary. On the start of our trip we had our plane land with a full load of people just for them to deboard and say the plane no longer worked due to broken floor boards. We had a six hour delay on the flight out and now a three hour delay on the way home. The only flights on my itinerary that didn't have a delay were non-Delta airlines. These delays are all due to technical or mechanical issues or staffing issues and not weather related. This has been one of the worst flying experiences of my life and I will never fly Delta again.

      My bag made it to Florida but I didn't due to what I assume is overbooking. Now the process of getting my luggage back is three google searches - two direct messages with Delta and 3 phone calls. My bag is still in Florida and no one will or can help. Customer service is rude in person and on the phone. What happened to Delta?

      • Worldwide destinations: Delta offers flights to more than 325 destinations in 60 countries across six continents.

      • Trip protection: Add trip protection to your flight so that any cancellations or problems allow you to get reimbursed for the cost of the trip.
