    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!

      Delta Airlines, I would like to personally express my gratitude to all involved in getting me back home, as I had run out of my medical supplies. First, I was notified on March 05. 2026, that my adopted Mom was not doing well and we made the decision that I will fly to Sarasota, Fla, to assist in any capacity of her passing, which was on the 14th. My flight home was scheduled for the 15th, however the weather delayed flights out of and onto Atlanta, GA, made it impossible to travel, so on March 20th, flight was booked, thank you to Brian, whom I phoned Delta Airlines to reschedule. Flight was FLIGHT 411 from Sarasota to Detroit, then a connecting flight from Detroit to Salt Lake City, Utah and then another flight to Elko, Nevada; home town.

      Captain Byron ** and Flight leader Cheslie ** made this story one that is another blessing from God. The Flight left one hour late, from Sarasota, making my connecting Flight from Detroit, Michigan to Salt Lake City, Utah 7 minutes to get from Gate A2 to Gate A74!! What Delta Airlines did for me was, well you might find this hard to believe. The Flight Leader phoned the Captain stating my dilemma. What truly never really happens, he phoned the tower and the terminal!! They arranged for this plane to land at gate 75!! AND he stated to hold the next plane; if at all possible!! Here in another blessing..upon arrival the Pilot was given clearance to land and taxi to the gate! We arrived 10 minutes for my next flight to take off...gate 74!!

      The landing Pilot, (I have to find out her name) opened the cockpit door, with both the Captains greeting me and then she grabbed my hand and we were off!!! She was delivering me to the next flight; making sure I got on the next plane! Now, Captain Mitch **, from the Detroit to SLC, UT, Flight 765, made sure that there was enough time to transfer my check bag and for me to get on the plane!! I was greeted by Flight leader Jeannie ** and Stewardess Kelly...anything I needed, they were there to accommodate me!!!

      Delta Airlines...from the Pilots, Flight crew, terminal and tower controller, all involved in assisting me to get back home....BRAVO!!! Excellent First-Class treatment!! From the bottom of my heart, I am truly so grateful to all involved!! 👏👏👏👏 I was greeted by my absolutely amazing Husband Bill at the airport, and we were heading home to our babies, who were more than happy to love on their Momma. I think my Maam and God made sure I was taken care of. Bless you all and I highly recommend Delta Airlines as they take their passengers first and foremost!!

      On May 22, 2026, I was getting on a flight from Lansing, Michigan to Tampa, Michigan - first stop to Detroit. When boarding plane, I checked in, and the attendant at the gate said that I needed to check my bag due to size. I informed her that my mother is dying and I am bringing her Fragile things in my bag, and I didn’t want them to break. She rudely informed me I needed to remove them. I asked her if I could check first to see if it would fit and said that the lady behind me has the same size. She just rudely told me NO.

      I was in a fragile state as she was discriminating against me allowing other carry-ons the same size go on. I was not prepared to unload it as it was my mom’s dying wish. I put everything in my purse and hope nothing got broke. I informed the 2 attendants on the plane and they were kind and said that never should have happened, as I started crying by then. They allow you to try to put it on the plane. I was treated meanly and rude by your staff member and she should be spoken to. I never want to be treated like that again and do not want others to be humiliated by the woman attendant. Examples of suitcases on plane same size.

      Delta, that really terrible terrible customer service. I do have booking for today May 21 from Charlotte, North Carolina to Jfk because I do have other connections with other flight going to Cairo so we got there at 2:00 AM trying to be early as we can because the other flight because our flight was at 6 o’clock in the morning to get there at 8 o’clock in the morning and Jfk so the time we get to Charlotte say your flight has been canceled so I talked into the lady over-the-counter and she said we are not open yet. We open at three 345 so the is open the counter.

      Wen is open so I won’t talk to her to her about to rebooking for us Any other flight going to Jfk so see trying, but she was really rude and she cannot help us as supposed and then because that cancellation I lost my flight going from JFK to Cairo and I lost all my money with the other flight because them say to me we have a policy we cannot refund your your money because it’s not even 24 hours so I tell them it’s out of my hands and them said nothing we can help so I lost all the flight ticket from JFK to Cairo and you know this is real expensive. It’s not easy. It’s not cheap either so I don’t know.

      I do not recommend it to anyone booking with Delta. Terrible, terrible, terrible bad experience to be and she said no so I show her my other booking from Jfk and she said nothing we can do for you and I said this is not my fault. This is your fault it’s supposed to be I mean refunded back the whole ticket and she refused to refunded the whole ticket for me so the problem is this is not the first experience with Delta airlines I wear them can be run out of business because it’s not good airlines or Customer service to be in the market, especially with with people, so I wish they see them out of business.

      I shouldn't be surprised that a multi billion dollar company would cut as many corners as possible to save a couple bucks. The pervasive greed that infects corporations at the expense of the consumers time and money is atrocious, and people like Ed Bastian genuinely need to be put on psych holds. I get to the airport early, like we all try to do so we can relax. And I'm greeted with empty counters and a "be back soon" sign with a number to call if help is needed... Except when you call said number, they can't help check in a bag, shocker..

      Apparently Delta is only willing to hire 2 people per shift, who have to work both the check in gate AND the bag counter! But they can't be alone at either. So we get to wait an HOUR before we can check in our bag to even start with security screening. This has completely turned me off of flying with Delta. Exorbitant ticket prices for absolute garbage service.

      I was moved to a later flight the next day against my will, due to my carry-on size. The unprofessionalism, arrogance, and rudeness thrown my way during this situation were mind-blowing. I communicated that my MEDICINE was on my checked bags and needed to be offloaded, and the employee proceeded to tell me she didn’t care. The amount of money wasted on a day’s worth of my travel just makes it even worse. And to top things off, I was injured in the process. Bear in mind, I’m disabled.

      I called you for an upgrade because I'm an anxious flier, the lady said 1st class was 5000 extra, wow, I thought that was excessive so I upgraded to business, maybe that would ease my discomfort but hours before my flight I was downgraded, I called the call center and Marie was really kind but had absolutely no clue as to why I was downgraded from a seat I had already paid for. This is my first experience flying with Delta and I can't say I'd recommend, super unprofessional, no options and no heads up beyond a text message. I guess I'm not as important, or valuable as a customer, as whoever you guys awarded my paid seat to. Not using them again.
