Very disappointed. Our flight from ATL to AMS was delayed several times. A seat upgrade was paid for and never received. Went to desk to inquire about delays after waiting in line for 40 minutes, I got nowhere. After multiple other calls to ensure I would be able to catch my cruise ship, I returned to the Delta counter and waited another 40 minutes, had to be rerouted through a different airline and city, Delta delayed my luggage for 3 days - NO CLOTHES - and did not refund any of our fees.

I had a great experience with Marlene at the Kahului airport ticket counter. We had 3 couples that had to have our bags ticketed all the way to our final destination due to a tight layover in ATL. Our final destination was on a separate Delta reservation. Marlene did a fantastic job in making the necessary changes. Our bags were safely waiting on us at our final destination & we barely made our gate in ATL as predicted! Great Customer Service, Marlene. Thank you! Terri **

I paid $4,883.11 for one way round trip flights from Atlanta to Spain and back in the Delta Premium Select Section. They changed our seats and separated my wife and I on an 11 hour flight over the Atlantic Ocean. You cannot trust Delta. They will lie to you and keep your money.

DON’T FLY DELTA! Our last trip back from Anchorage to Tucson, missed our connecting flight in Seattle because fire truck was at the gate we were coming into. Flat out lied to by 2 different gate agents, they put us on stand by on flights that were overbooked, told us we were guaranteed to get on the flight, and literally all the way up until when they close the doors and said, "Sorry we were wrong." Everybody showed up. After four hours of trying to get onto a flight we finally got a flight into Phoenix and had to rent a car and drive back to Tucson. I put in a claim to Delta to have them reimburse me for the rental car and gas, and went back-and-forth with them many many times, and they just kept saying that they would not reimburse, but they eere sorry LOL. I will not choose to fly with them, terrible experience. #deltaairlines

Exceptional Service from Delta Employee Helionay **. Dear Delta Airlines, I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding service I received from one of your employees, Helionay **, on September 26, 2025 in Boston. On that day, my flight to New York was unexpectedly rerouted to Boston, while my final destination was Panama City Beach, FL. I was returning from an exhausting vacation, and all I wanted was to get home safely and as quickly as possible.
I had the good fortune of speaking with Helionay **, who treated me with kindness, patience, and professionalism. She went above and beyond—making calls, speaking with supervisors, and exploring every possible solution to help me. Thanks to her dedication and persistence, she was able to get me on a flight that brought me home quickly and safely.
I am incredibly grateful for her support during a stressful moment. Helionay is a true asset to your team, and I hope her efforts are recognized. Thank you, Delta, for having such exceptional people on your team. Because of employees like Helionay, I will continue to choose and recommend Delta with confidence. Warm regards, Luciene

My luggage was handled very poorly. Damaged and very dirty. Contacted customer service to report issue. 3 weeks later, I received an email to provide photos and other info which I did. My request for a resolution was denied under pretext of wear and tear. I booked business class and saw up close how the luggage handlers were throwing it like they were in a war zone or fighting someone. This is not Fair.

Worse communications and customer service than any other airlines. I rather use Spirit or Frontier than Delta. I was in a flight from MN to Boston, I was delayed more than 3 hours, no communication just left on the air. In the same trip, change my flight to a new time due to business reasons and the airline charge my credit card but didn’t book my flight change. I had a horrible customer experience to get through security due to this airline been sooo bad and then got to the counter just to tell me that the seat that had been assigned to me was no longer available but they had the audacity to fly a flight attendant and pay 2 people over 809 each and left me hanging again.
Changed me to a 3pm flight to a different airport which Lyft cost me over $120 more than my regular cost from EWR. Airline customer service is giving me $100, haven’t seen my refund for the ticket that didn’t get issued and now I’m seeing a new charge of $49 dollars on my credit card. What is wrong with you Delta??? To close, you made me lose a deal where I easily lost $20k. But again you Delta just don’t care.

I just had one of the worst booking experiences with Delta Airlines. The ticket price increased by over $500 while I was in the process of paying. When I called customer service, one agent told me I could use miles, e-certificates, and a gift card to help cover the cost, but when I was transferred to another agent to finalize the booking, I was told that wasn’t possible.
Meanwhile, a family member tried booking the same trip on Delta’s website. She initially saw a lower price than what I was quoted, but the moment she tried to purchase, the price jumped by $400. When she adjusted her travel dates, it shot up even more—an additional $600 from the original listed fare. These bait-and-switch tactics are unbelievable, and I honestly don’t know how Delta can get away with it. In the end, I went to Allegiant and booked the same itinerary in under five minutes for just **$187 total—including a bag—**with upfront, honest pricing and a nonstop flight. No games, no frustration, just simple and fair. Delta has lost my business, and Allegiant just gained a loyal customer.

Delta SUCKS!!! And that’s why this airline is having so much KARMA. The CEO a few years ago bragged they were the most responsible and caring airline for their passengers(LIES). And at least I have satisfaction for all the times you denied my refunds. I see you needed all the money for failing airlines. I make sure to tell people use another airline period!

I’ve flown with Delta several times, and one of the most frustrating aspects of the experience is their customer service phone support. No matter the day of the week or the hour you call, the wait times are consistently long. It often feels like you’re stuck on hold indefinitely, with no clear sense of when, or if, you’ll actually be able to speak to someone. For travelers dealing with urgent issues like flight changes, cancellations, or lost baggage, this lack of timely support creates unnecessary stress.
Air travel can already be stressful, and reliable customer service should ease that burden, not make it worse. Unfortunately, Delta’s phone support doesn’t meet that standard. I’ve tried at various times—early mornings, late evenings, even midday—and the result is always the same: extremely long holds with minimal updates. In today’s competitive airline industry, I believe customers deserve quicker, more responsive service.

If I could rate Delta customer service negatively, I would. Horrendous service. I made multiple attempts today to book roundtrip tickets for Delta flights from Seattle to London for November 7-29. I have been tracking Deltas prices all week, using miles, and the price has consistently, but not always, been approximately 72,000 miles and $217 per ticket (Main Classic). This morning the price was advertised at 48,000 miles and $217 per ticket. As a result, I immediately transferred 100,000 AmEx points to my Skymiles account. Once the transfer was confirmed, I then, on three separate occasions, completed the transaction, including seat selection, on the website up to the point of payment. Each time I received a message back to try again later.
When I called Delta customer service, I was told that the price is now 72,000 plus $217 per ticket. When I explained to customer service what had happened, they could not have been less interested in checking Delta's records to see what had been on their website or remedying the problem - I was simply told to pay 72,000 miles per ticket. I don't have 144,000 Skymiles, which is why I took advantage of the 48,000-mile advertised rate that was on the website today. I am happy to book my tickets with a different airline, but I will be out 100,000 AmEx points, which I transferred solely based on the information on the Delta website multiple times. This is purer "bait and switch" and extremely unfair.

I experienced a very pleasant flight from Bradley International Airport to Phoenix, AZ 9/11. The trip back 9/16 after a brief layover in ATL was the best. Captain Dan had a fun conversation with first class before the general announcement, I really enjoyed that. Yes, he assured our safety, the most important part of his job. Captain Dan could easily be a motivational speaker or a comedian when he retires.

⭐️ Minus Zero Stars if Possible. Just another sad excuse for an airline. Flight DL5366 was delayed for 1.5 hours because of a broken overhead bin. Instead of having a plan in place for small mechanical issues, Delta left us sitting on the plane waiting for a mechanic to come all the way from Raleigh. This is unacceptable. They could have simply secured the bin and not allowed bags in it, but instead, they chose to waste everyone’s time. Because of this, I’m now missing my connection, and my entire day is ruined. Delta clearly isn’t prepared to manage even the most basic operational problems, and the passengers are the ones who pay the price. Disappointing and unprofessional. If you want to make it right, give me enough points for a flight since you completely messed this one up.

Then they "delayed" my bag. There new word for lost. Gotta worry about optics. More than fixing the issues. So much so I had to try and call multiple times to which their stupid bot hangs up on you when you try and get to a real person. Only way I was able to talk to anyone was via text message. And the bot they use for that is terrible. Because of course it is. Finally getting a person. The first time. They found my bag and were going to expedite it because I have MEDICAL EQUIPMENT, I have to have. Sounds great!. Too bad. That's not how it went.
3 hours later I once again check to see what's going on. Then they tell me it won't be here till tomorrow. Even after I told them I have MEDICAL EQUIPMENT I have to have. They Then tell me you're just going to have to wait for delivery. Like I'm inconveniencing them. Unbelievable lack of any empathy or care. And to top ot off.

We booked a flight from Detroit to Fresno that had a connection in Salt Lake City. Our flight arrived early from Detroit. As soon as we deplaned, we walked as fast as we could using all available moving sidewalks. In spite of our efforts when we arrived at the gate to Fresno it was closed. The plane was still there but they wouldn't let us on. It was physically impossible to make the connection without some type of powered transportation. Who books passengers on a connection that cannot be made? Very poor. We did get a free lunch as we waited another 6 hrs for the next connection. Ugh!

I have never written a bad review in my life, but I was lied to by Delta Airlines. They had to fly me into a different airport due to mechanical problems on my original flight. I was told by the customer service representative the fee for transportation to my hotel which was closer to the original airport would be reimbursed. I submitted a request for a reimbursement and was denied. I was then told to file a complaint, and I was denied again.

I will never fly Delta Airlines again. On my recent trip, I was treated with a complete lack of empathy and respect. As someone with autism and sensory issues, flying is already difficult enough - but Delta made it far worse. At the last minute, they changed the seats I had carefully chosen and paid for, putting me in the middle row. When I called to fix it, I was literally told I was "just a code in the system." What followed was over 24 hours of being passed around, stressed to the breaking point, until I finally got to the gate.
The only "solution" they offered was to downgrade me to different seats with the promise of a full refund. Not only did I never get the seats I needed, but now I'm still fighting for that refund. Delta charged me $637.15 in seat and upgrade fees, and so far they've only admitted to refunding $100. The rest remains unresolved. Travelers deserve better. We are not just numbers in a system. We are people who pay good money and deserve to be treated with dignity and fairness. The way Delta handled this was unacceptable, and I want to warn others before they go through the same thing.

If you buy cheap tickets from them (months before your trip) that's why it's cheap! Delta will resell your tickets to someone else because of high demand and high prices and refunds you your money! And give you a reason as "you're late" while I was there an hour and a half before! And they know better in their policy they don't refund for being late! This company has no respect for their customers! And I asked for an alternative they were like "oh we already proceed to the refund!" What a joke!!

Our flight from CMH to BGI on July 22, we were a party of 5 that had a significant delayed 6 hours at the ATL airport causing us to arrive at our destination 6.5 hours late. Our flight was delayed multiple times due to "weather and air conditioning problem yet we were kept in the plane for several hours. Then as we were finally set to take off it was announced that we would need a new plane. We do not understand why this was not done sooner. 9:36 am: We were supposed to take off at 9:40 am and were were on the plane but delayed due to weather. However it was already hot on the plane. They made an announcement that we were going to take off at 10:21 am. 10:24 am: Getting ready to take off again, it is still very hot on the plane. Did not take off and at 10:48 they announced that there was a problem with the air and they were getting it fixed. It got cooler for 5 minutes then back to being hot.
11:43 am Getting ready to take off again. It is still hot on the plane. 12:07 Told we needed a new plane because of the problem with the air on the plane. They finally let us off the plane. 1:26 pm We saw an email that we had been given meal vouchers, but that was never communicated by the Delta staff while we were waiting for the plane. We also had already gone and bought lunch. We did use it for snacks but it would have been better if we could have used it on our meals. They had brought a cart of chips and water but it was not enough for everyone. 2:07 pm supposed to take off at 2:55 pm. Our flight was supposed to land in BGI at 2:20 pm. 2:15 pm: They changed the departure time to 3:19 pm. 3:30 pm We finally boarded the plane and the plane took off around 3:50 pm.
We arrive at the BGI airport at 9 pm. 6.5 hours later than we should have. You guys gave us 6000 miles each which does not even cover a one way flight. I think Delta could have done better especially since we should have gotten a new plane much sooner. The lack of communication from the Delta staff and the late email for a meal vouchers is just unacceptable. After speaking with their customer service, they did give us a $100 voucher each but it expires in a year so it is pretty much worthless.

We have always been loyal Delta customers, my husband is a Diamond Medallion member, and I am a Platinum Medallion member. We have trusted Delta for years, choosing to book directly with them because we believed in their service and commitment to their customers. Unfortunately, our recent experience has made us question that loyalty.
We booked our trip through Delta, not Air France. We checked our bag with Delta, not Air France. Yet when our bag was delayed for over a week, causing significant inconvenience and disruption, Delta refused to take responsibility. Instead, we were told to chase down Air France, a partner airline we never booked with directly. This lack of ownership is unacceptable. If Delta takes our money, books our flights, and checks our baggage, then Delta should stand behind its promises and its passengers.
What’s most disappointing is the disregard shown to loyal customers. If Delta won’t support its Diamond and Platinum Medallion members in moments like this, what message does that send to every other traveler? Loyalty should mean something. Instead, we were left feeling dismissed, ignored, and completely unsupported. Delta’s unwillingness to provide customer satisfaction in this situation has shaken our confidence in the company we have supported for years. If Delta wants to keep the trust of its most loyal passengers, it needs to stop deflecting blame onto partners and start standing behind its own customers.

I fully understand Delta’s policy that boarding doors close 15 minutes before departure. However, Delta has a tendency to depart before the scheduled departure time, which means gates are also closing earlier than expected. This directly impacted my trip to New York with my children on 9/22. I missed our first flight (totaling $635.38), forcing me to book a last-minute American Airlines ticket for nearly $1,500. Frustrated, I canceled my Delta flight without thinking through all the consequences, which left me rebooking a return flight on 8/23 at an additional cost of $566.08, even after applying an eCredit.
On the return home, my daughter was delayed exiting the subway train, causing us to rush. We still arrived 15 minutes prior to departure, yet the gate was already closed with no staff present. Myself and six other passengers were denied boarding. When an employee finally appeared, she was extremely unprofessional—smacking gum, rolling her neck, and dismissively telling us nothing could be done. As a mother traveling with kids for the first time, this left me nearly in tears. Thankfully, another employee at the help desk was kind enough to get us on a connecting flight, but I had to pay additional fees ($78) and rush to another airport (LGA).
This trip that should have cost under $700 for a family of four turned into nearly $2,800 out of pocket. Delta’s poor communication, early gate closures, and lack of customer service at JFK made this one of the worst travel experiences I’ve ever had. Employees at JFK need better customer service training, and gates should not close earlier than published policies. At this point, I will not be flying Delta again for a while.

After waiting on the tarmac for over three hours, Delta canceled our flight and attempted to get passengers to a hotel. Passengers waited three hours for checked bags and two more hours for Delta to figure out what to do. It was as if this was Delta's first ever canceled flight. Delta kiosk representatives and customer service phone representatives refused to let us book our own hotel and refused to give us the location of the hotel where they would take us, stating they did not know. The Delta kiosk representative gave a hotel name that simply does not exist and was not the name of the hotel we were eventually taken to in a remote Italian village. Delta promised lunch, dinner, and breakfast provided by the hotel. The hotel only provided a meager dinner and was not aware of the other meals. Delta promised transportation back, but that transportation was not provided.
We spoke to the hotel manager, who said taxis do not come to the remote location, and we learned that Uber does not frequent the Mafia-controlled village as the Mafia stomped Uber out of the village years ago. Delta phone representatives were useless and repeatedly recommended taxi/Uber despite my explanation. We finally, somehow connected with an Uber that was 30 minutes away and paid $163. No Delta transportation came for us.

An absolutely terrible, unreliable and disrespectful company. The employees must be trained to treat customers with contempt. Just the most recent personal experience: I just spent four hours on the phone trying to get some clarity on a ticket I tried to purchase tonight. After all that time, I got a rude, disrespectful person who identified herself as Cece. She was of no help at all, and refused to terminate the call, because she knew what kind of rating I was going to give her. As I write this, my phone is essentially blocked, because she refused to terminate the call. I have been with Delta for over 35 years and have never been treated with this level of disrespect and contempt. I cancelled the flight after 4 hours of harassment.

After I booked my flight Delta changed the layover time in Paris. I was so concerned I called twice to talk about if we would be able to make the connection. After a go around that made no sense I asked, "Why would you offer this flight with this connection if you believe it's impossible for us to make it?" Pretty much the answer was that's all we legally have to do. So not wanting to switch to United at this point we took our chances and lost.
After missing the connection (our Detroit flight left late on top of the already scheduled short connection time) *note: not due to weather or problems with plane or crew, I called Delta to get help with getting on another flight. The 'customer service' rep basically blamed me for booking the flight knowing that it was tight. When I got upset she raised her voice. I'm tired, stuck in Paris, and am asking for help. When she tried to find another flight she said the system was blocking her out. She was of no help and didn't seem to be trained or know her job.

My son and his wife, both traveling under official military PCS orders from Austin, TX to Seoul, Korea, were forced into an incredibly distressing situation due to misinformation and lack of support from Delta Airlines staff. Originally booked on American Airlines, they were turned away because AA does not allow in-cabin pets on flights longer than 12 hours. In a scramble, they approached Delta’s counter where a representative named Ikeysha sold them tickets for a same-day flight via Salt Lake City to ICN. She assured them they could bring all three cats in-cabin—a critical detail for any pet owner, let alone a military family relocating overseas.
At check-in, they were told this was incorrect: Delta only allows one pet per passenger in-cabin. My son offered to purchase an extra seat to accommodate the third cat, but the agent “Key” refused. He then requested to check the third cat as baggage under Delta’s military PCS pet policy, which explicitly allows pets to fly as checked baggage for active-duty members with transfer orders.
Again, he was denied—this time by Key and supervisor Juan T—because the flight from Salt Lake City to ICN was “too long.” When he suggested rerouting through LAX or Seattle to shorten the international leg, Juan T claimed the cat couldn’t fly out of Austin due to daytime temperatures exceeding 80°F, even though it was 77°F at the time of travel, and Delta’s own policy states the temperature must be under 80°F at the time of departure, not throughout the day. My son then asked to fly early the next morning to avoid heat restrictions. Juan T and Key refused further assistance, told him to “leave one cat behind,” and dismissed him from the counter. They refused to help with a refund and directed him to call reservations.
This treatment is not only inhumane but disrespectful to military families who rely on accurate information and compassionate service during PCS moves. Delta’s own website and military travel policies contradict the actions of their staff in this case. Thank God for United Airlines - the airline with heart, that enabled my son and his wife to bring all 3 pets to Korea when Delta refused to help.

Flight from MIA to ATL Sunday 18Aug25: plane arrived late to the gate from ATL. Sitting by the window I saw the cleaning crew board and leave. THEN the gate agent announced a "maintenance issue." An hour later still not boarding. No communication from Delta on rebooking my connection (one hour layover in ATL so it would be missed). Delta chat agent (had to log on to that AFTER already being logged into the app) claimed there were no later flights that day, so my checked luggage would be at the Baggage Service Office (BSO). I reserved a rental car to drive from ATL to MGM (my originating airport).
AFTER getting on the plane, pilot said the paperwork had to be re-done (!) as it didn't meet the standards (HAVE THEY NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE?). ANOTHER hour delay with the MOST APATHETIC flight attendants you've ever seen. While on the plane Delta advised I was rebooked; there actually WAS another flight to MGM on Sunday. Arriving in ATL I went to the BSO and was told my luggage was going to MGM since it was rebooked. BUT that flight wasn't for another 3 hours and the rental car was NON-CHANGEABLE/NON-REFUNDABLE. So, train to the rental car center, 2 hours in the car to get home and drop off the fam. THEN an hour's drive to MGM to return the rental car and pick up the luggage, then home about 6-7 hours later than should have. AND the cat dogs had to be boarded an additional night vs. being picked up on SUNDAY.
DELTA is saying it's not reimbursing me the $279 for the rental car and I'm only entitled to a credit for future airfare. THIS IS WRONG! DELTA told me there were no more flights on Sunday. A different DELTA phone rep told me I SHOULD submit the rental car for reimbursement. I've been flying since I was in the seventh grade and I have never had an experience that compelled me write reviews, but I am spreading the word of these multiple service failures far and wide to try and prompt delta to comprehensively review this chain of failures.

Dear Delta Customer Care, I am writing to formally express my deep dissatisfaction with my recent travel experience on August 19th. My flight from Mexico was delayed for over 12 hours, and the way the situation was handled was unacceptable. During the delay, passengers were provided only a minimal food voucher that did not reasonably cover the cost of meals for such an extended period. The lack of communication and support from airline staff added to the frustration, and as a result of this delay, I incurred both unnecessary expenses and missed work. When I finally arrived in Atlanta, Delta provided a hotel that was in unacceptable condition, with visible bugs and cockroaches. I felt unsafe staying there and had no choice but to leave at 1:00 AM, paying out of pocket for alternative accommodations.
The following morning, when I attempted to continue my travel, I was met with unprofessional conduct from staff. A simple “good morning” was dismissed with a curt “wait.” Additionally, despite the circumstances, I was reassigned to a seat in the back of the plane near the restrooms, which was both uncomfortable and unsanitary, rather than being accommodated more appropriately given the severe inconvenience.
I would also like to understand Delta’s decision-making process: Why was no replacement aircraft provided, and instead a mechanic flown in from Atlanta? Why were passengers not rebooked on Delta partner flights to minimize the disruption? This entire experience was stressful, costly, and far below the standard of service I expect from Delta. I respectfully request a thorough response, as well as fair compensation for the financial losses, stress, and inconvenience caused. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your timely reply.

My husband and I planned a trip to Italy for this coming October back in April. We paid to be in comfort plus and had selected seats 32A and B for the flight from JFK to Milan. In July we received notification of a flight change. The orginating flight from CVG to JFK had a 20 minute time change.

Delta claims they are not at fault because it was a weather related issue, which it was not. They will not pay for a hotel for us and advise that we can sleep in the airport or outside. We book a new flight on a competitor airline and delta refuses to transfer our bags.

I’m extremely disappointed with the customer service I received today. My flight from MSP landed in SLC, and my connecting flight to ONT was already boarding. Despite arriving at the gate at 2:47 PM, and knowing that boarding was scheduled until 2:55 PM, the flight departed without waiting for me and another passenger who were both on the same connecting flight. To make matters worse, I checked and saw that the flight arrived 18 minutes early—so there was absolutely time to accommodate us. Yet, no effort was made to hold the gate or communicate with us.
When I approached the gate agent immediately after missing the flight, I was met with zero empathy. No apology. No concern. Just a cold response: “The next flight is at 10 PM.” That’s it. No explanation, no assistance, no compassion. This experience was not only frustrating but also deeply disappointing. I expected better coordination and basic courtesy from your team, especially when passengers are clearly in transit and delays are not their fault. Please address this issue and ensure that future passengers are treated with the respect and consideration they deserve.

The tone and attitude were completely unnecessary, especially in a situation involving small children who shouldn’t be expected to sit alone.

Although I scanned my passport at the kiosk, confirming that I do not require a visa to visit India as a citizen, I was still directed to an unnecessary queue for a visa check. I was in a queue for 30 minutes when I reached closer, they redirected me to the end of a different queue, showing no respect.
Additionally, I had my 10-year-old child with me, who was forced to stand in line for nearly two hours. The situation was further exacerbated by the hassle of contacting customer care over the phone from the airport, even though there were 45 more minutes for flight takeoff, adding unnecessary stress to an already difficult experience.
I incurred a total expense of $4,480.25 for two tickets after facing significant inconvenience at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. I had to contact Delta Customer Care to rebook the flights due to their queue mismanagement and lack of staffing. To improve customer experience, Delta Airlines should consider assigning additional staff during peak hours to manage queues more efficiently. Clear signage and upfront instructions about queue assignments would help avoid confusion and prevent customers from waiting in long lines only to be redirected elsewhere. The mismanagement of queues and poor handling of travelers caused unnecessary inconvenience, financial burden, and a highly stressful situation.

Canceled my Delta AmEx and booking literally anyone else from now on… except Frontier. According to my extensive, peer-reviewed study conducted across group chats, late-night rants, and passive-aggressive Yelp scrolls, Delta currently boasts a flight fail rate of approximately 80%, with a confidence interval of ±0% because literally everyone I know has a story. At this point, I’m convinced Delta is less an airline and more a psychological experiment testing the limits of human patience, circadian rhythm collapse, and the physics of airport rage.

Began in RDU to ATL with an 45 minute delay in the terminal. Once on the plane, the pilot announced a 45 minute wait on the place before we could take off. 7 minutes before takeoff the pilot announced that 1 customer wanted to get off because he was afraid he'd miss his connection. We went back to the terminal and 10 others decided to deplane causing them to deplane the entire aircraft - wait 30 minutes to refuel and refill the airplane. Because it was evening, by the time we reached ATL, every customer missed their connection. It took Delta 45 minutes to send vouchers for food and hotels. An entire plane was stranded because Delta honored 1 nervous flyer over every other ticket paying customer. Had the issue been medical or family emergency it would be understandable. Who's running this nuthouse?

If you are flying out of Boston, the E gates require a shuttle and you will miss your flight, even if you make it through security over an hour before takeoff. Delta is unaccommodating, and uncaring that you will miss your flight. They tell you they can't help you, and send you on a wild goose chase from gate to gate, until you find an unattended Delta phone bank where you can talk to a representative. By this time, you still have half an hour before your flight, and they are still unable to help you get on a plane that day, even before sunrise.

Our Delta flight from Rome to Atlanta was delayed by more than two hours, causing us to miss our connection to Phoenix and triggering a cascade of issues: lost work hours, extreme physical and emotional exhaustion, and over four hours of waiting before we could rest in a hotel. But the worst part wasn’t just the delay — it was the lack of support on the ground once we arrived in Atlanta. The airport, while massive, was utterly disorganized and chaotic. There was no guidance, no staff assisting stranded passengers, and no clear signage or instructions on what to do or where to go.
There was also no coordination between Delta and the airport services. No one offered help regarding hotel transportation, and no one took ownership of the situation. We were left to figure everything out on our own, alongside dozens of other tired and frustrated travelers. It took over four hours after landing to finally reach a hotel room and get some rest. The entire experience was exhausting — and made worse by the complete absence of empathy, organization, or accountability from both Delta and Atlanta Airport.
We understand that delays can happen. But the failure to provide basic support and care for passengers affected by those delays is unacceptable, especially in one of the busiest airports in the world. This was an incredibly disappointing experience that made it clear neither Delta nor Atlanta Airport is prepared to handle travel disruptions with the level of respect and responsibility passengers deserve.

Proud platinum holder since 1996. Please reconsider your partnership with @Delta. Where do I begin? Well, let’s revisit the @delta NIGHTMARE folder on my desktop. Said folder contains screenshots of chats with “customer service” as documentation. I will try to condense the back and forth to make this review as pithy as possible. I am not one to leave a negative review, trust. However, this experience has more than warranted subzero commentary. Three weeks ago, I booked an international flight (to London) through Delta. One. Flight. SOMEHOW I was magically booked on THREE different flights, all with different confirmation codes. A few days later, my credit card was billed upwards of $3,600 for two of the flights. (One magically went away.)
Many days and many frustrating hours were spent being tossed around between multiple departments and multiple agents as I tried to cancel the wrongly booked flight of the two remaining. AND to receive my refund. While this was going on, flights were cancelled, rebooked, ticket numbers changed. Cue spinning head. I submitted myriad complaints, receiving a very Law & Order sounding case number for each. In addition to compensation for the clown show, I was promised the cases had been aggragated, escalated to “valued customer” status and a response was forthcoming. I am still waiting.
What’s the latest you ask? My credit card was INCORRECTLY refunded—BOTH remaining flights gone, vanished. I needed one flight. One. Now, I am left with nothing.

I am a brand loyal customer with Delta and have Silver Medallion Status. Usually, my experience with Delta is okay, but yesterday's trip was a complete disaster. Our first leg, from Halifax to La Guardia on Endevor (Delta's subsidiary) was fine, with a pleasant pilot and flight attendants. But once we landed in LGA, things began to fall apart quickly. First, our 6:00 p.m. flight was delayed several times, finally departing around 8:55. Apparently, this was due to "late equipment with air traffic flow." Delta doesn't compensate in this case "for being out of Delta's control." (I'd like to add that poor mismanagement of equipment, which is what happened, is absolutely within Delta's control.)
Meanwhile, the scheduled 7:00 p.m. flight departed at 7:15. Why was that equipment not used for the earlier flight? Also, I asked that my son and I be put on standby for that flight. I was number one and he was number three. When we were called to the desk, they told us they were almost certain they had three available seats and gate checked my hand luggage. Then, a uniformed pilot showed up and took one of those seats. Because I had not booked our reservations together and because my son is 22, they would not give him status with me.
(When I called to voice my concerns, the Delta agent said if I'd booked the reservation together, he'd have been offered status. Sometimes, plans change and people need to be added or removed from a trip. Delta should have a way to link reservations for people who are flying together, especially given the fact that I paid for my son's ticket with my Delta AMEX. She also commented that my ticket was "different" because I used sky miles for it. So what?)
So, we were not allowed to board. The gate agent allowed the lady between us to board, and then began calling names. He called the first name twice in rapid succession and then immediately called the next name. The first person who had been called was sitting a little further away, so the second person beat her to the gate and was given the seat. The gate attendant apologized but said he had to hurry. Really? Our flight is delayed three hours to the inconvenience of two hundred + people, but your pants are suddenly on fire to make sure THIS plane takes off on time? So much so that you can't pause for thirty seconds to let the woman gather her bags and walk forward? This same employee also called another employee an "asshole" in front of several passengers.
Fast forward to the 6:00 p.m. flight, now departing at 8:55. I'd booked a seat beside my son, and Delta switched it. I told the flight attendants that I wanted to keep my original seat. They said I'd have to ask the standby passenger they'd given it to. That person refused to switch with me, so I was stuck in a middle seat in a row without windows instead of the seat I chose. Additionally, one of the flight attendants was talking rudely about a coworker and using foul language while she served snacks and drinks. By the time we finally arrived home, we'd been traveling for 21 hours. That's ridiculous for a trip from Canada to Georgia. To summarize:
1) Equipment mismanagement is absolutely your fault, Delta. Take responsibility. Don't tell me there is nothing you can do. That's terrible customer service.
2) Choosing who gets standby seating on a ho-hum basis rather than by status defeats the purpose of having status. Obviously, there was no point in me taking the earlier flight without my son because we were together. The agent today told me they have a "system," but I witnessed them not following that system. Since we were together, I had booked and paid for his flight with my Delta AMEX, and I have status, they should have kept us together.
3) Do not give my seat away and then not allow me the option of getting it back.
4) Gossip and foul language is inappropriate in front of customers.
Do better by your loyal customers, Delta. You made the last day of what was supposed to be a reprieve after the recent death of my husband a memorable, miserable experience.

I am so disappointed in Delta. They just don’t care about their customers. On a recent trip abroad I had a layover at JFK. Once we arrived at JFK we were told we couldn’t land (air traffic control issues, not sure why the flight even took off because they delayed it 3x so they had to have known there was an issue) and were told we would run out of gas before we could land so they diverted us to Detroit. Once we were over Detroit we were once again told we couldn’t land. We were then sent to Ohio and left on the runway for over an hour before they re-fueled us and sent us back to JFK. Here’s the thing….stuff happens. My issue is the way Delta handled it. We were on that plane for over 10 hours! They gave us 2 drink services. NO food. Then, when we finally landed at JFK it was 1:30am. Obviously we had missed our flight out and were auto booked on another flight…scheduled for 16 hours later.
So at 1:30 am we were stuck in New York City and when we deplaned there was NO help. No delta employees to assist us. No help on finding a hotel. No eateries in the airport were open. Just NOTHING. They dumped us off and that was it. We eventually found a hotel (that delta won’t reimburse the cost of) and when we got to the airport the next day and tried to speak to someone about the lack of customer service they told me to get online and “chat” with someone. No accountability, no apologies. Nothing. And I was flying premium, $4000 ticket…they just don’t care. I’m delta gold medallion and I won’t fly with them again.

This a trip we have made many times, on various carriers, as we had a house in Spain for 7 years, This trip we booked the new Delta Premium Select cabin seats. Upon entering that cabin we first noticed how narrow the aisles were, barely enough to wheel a small bag thru. We found the seats comfortable but discovered that the leg extension, as did numerous people around us, was difficult to deploy. All of us had to have the attendant help. Then it was easier once the mystery was solved. Even more difficult was the flip-up footrest which must be deployed by hand. There was not really sufficient room to maneuver to do so without help.
It is also a problem if you place items under the seat in front if they protrude much, then it is difficult to extend the leg rest. There is not enough between rows of seats and the leg extension is minimal, not like business class. In all retracting and not using the leg rest was more comfortable.

Once we were released from that plane, Delta had NO employees there to help reroute the 600+ people they had left there, stranded. There were no restaurants open so we’ve been up over 24 hours with no sleep and no food. Delta hasn’t offered a refund, NOTHING - not even an announcement.

Trash. Will delay flight and cancel due to weather, which is of course out of their control. But will not compensate with a hotel or anything. Really annoying to deal with. Bad customer service. Really annoying.

Delta Air Lines: A Missed Opportunity To Make Amends. I normally write only glowing reviews about restaurants, hotels, and the provision of excellent service. Unfortunately I recently had a suboptimal and surprising experience with Delta Air Lines that I feel obliged to report with the hope that it will lead to changes in the way that Delta deals with such mishaps. Errors are bound to happen and often cannot be avoided. Such was the case with me. I was booked on a direct flight from Lisbon to JFK. It was an early morning flight specifically chosen so that I would have enough time to make an essential evening event that I could not miss and had spent a lot of time preparing for.
Three days before the flight I spontaneously decided to open my Delta App and was surprised to find that my Delta flight was nowhere to be found. Unfortunately the feeling of surprise turned into easily avoidable disappointment if Delta implemented a process of recovery that would have likely resulted in praise instead of this review. I started a text dialogue with a competent employee to avoid a long wait on the telephone to speak with a live agent. I was informed that my flight had been cancelled though I had never been forewarned either by email, text, phone, or on their Delta App.
Their employee was able to get me back on the flight but instead of a bulkhead window seat in their Delta Premium Select section, as originally booked by me, I was placed in a middle seat in the back row of this section of the plane. I was relieved to get on the plane but disappointed in the seat since I might have bought a first class seat given the choices but did not since bulkhead had been available.
Given these circumstances, I asked first for a complimentary upgrade which they said was unavailable. I then asked for some other form of compensation. I think the matter at this point had escalated to a higher level of management. I was then told that after completing my trip I should contact a certain department and submit a request for compensation.
At this point I had been texting for over an hour instead of enjoying my vacation. I told them that they had all the necessary information and that they could forward it to the appropriate people. I then received a nice text from a higher-up who said he/she appreciated how I handled the situation and would look into the matter. I did inform them if they did not implement some form of appropriate compensation by the end of the trip, that I would write and post a review about this incident.
Unfortunately they decided to do nothing and so here is my review. An unfortunate situation that could have so easily been avoided with little if any cost to Delta. Instead of giving priority to flying on Delta, I will in the future give preference to other options. At the very least, I hope this review leads to changes in the way they treat their customer travelers when mishaps like mine occur, either avoidable or unavoidable.

I recently flew with Delta on flight DL0788 from San Antonio to Detroit, with a final destination in Chicago. What should have been a routine trip turned into an incredibly frustrating and disappointing experience due to multiple delays and poor communication. First, our departure from San Antonio was delayed by over an hour. Once we finally boarded and landed in Detroit, we were stuck on the plane for almost another hour because of a cockpit issue that needed to be fixed. After that was supposedly resolved, we still had to sit on the tarmac for an additional 30 minutes before taking off. On top of that the WiFi was not working.
Altogether, these delays caused me to miss a very important event — picking up my tickets in time for my son's graduation from the Navy. This was a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and because of this cascade of delays, I wasn't able to be there for something that meant the world to both of us. Why am I paying for services not provided? I understand that technical issues can arise, but the lack of timely updates and the compounding delays showed a serious lack of preparedness and consideration for passengers' time and commitments. I expected more from Delta, and this experience has left me extremely disappointed.

We arrived in Atlanta Airport at 10~am from XNA. After eating our meal, my wife and I fell asleep at our designated gate. When she woke, we checked and no notifications had come to the Delta app, her text messages or normal email address. I just happened to look at the gate designation and then check the board for an update and noticed the gates had been changed. Since we were in Concourse B and the new gate was in A, we ran to the train made it to the gate with only 7 minutes to departure time to find the attendant on the phone laughing and obviously not on a work-related call. As she hung up, she said I've got to go deal with some rude customers.
When we asked about boarding, she said they were done and offered no support for our next steps. My very frustrated wife was visibly upset and having been called rude called the attendant a name. In the ensuing incident, my wife made a gesture across the counter to see the attendant's name badge and asked for her name 3 times with no reply. At the customer service desk, we were immediately flagged and looked at as hostile passengers from then on. We spoke with 3 different people before finding out Atlanta policemen had been called to arrest my wife for assault. Our trip to drop our son off in DC for a leadership conference has been ruined due to this company and it's horrendous customer service environment. The worst part in my mind was instead of offering help to weary, paying customers this entire staff proceeded to have my wife arrested and jailed rather than helping us find a solution for our travel dilemmas and obvious frustrations.

I have flown Delta 3 times in the past 3 weeks. Every flight has been delayed, I cannot get a refund on my upgraded seat. Flight was cancelled and was rebooked on another flight, went from comfort plus to the very back of the plane. Will fly American Air from now on. Delta does not care about customers, and the gate attendants are absolutely rude. Stuck in Atlanta airport overnight AGAIN!

Needs to do better hiring for JFK airport. Horrible customer services experience, agent extremely rude and unprofessional. Name was Sandra, she disregarded any and everything I was saying, disregarded the 800 agent on phone she requested that I called, ended up missing my flight simply because she refused to do her job which was to process payment for ticket

So here I sit on my delayed flight waiting for boarding to be complete in Atlanta. I have a meniscus tear and a knee brace. About an hour ago there was 1 seat left in comfort plus and 8 (EIGHT) main seats left. I asked for a window seat. Sean put me at the VERY back of the plane! Never AGAIN will I leave my seats to chance💀. Mind you this was an HOUR ago, and there was only 1 lady in front of me when I got in line to get my seat assignment. Lesson learned. Nothing like a window seat with NO window at the very back of the plane which means the seat doesn't even recline. If you've ever had a knee injury, this is the last seat you would pick with 8 other options.

Today, my flight from JFK to SFO was delayed. I went to the gate to check, but the lady at the gate didn't know anything. She just told me to check the notice board and the app. This is terrible service in today's world. Today is June 15, 2025. This kind of service will not make America strong.

DO NOT FLY DELTA: Very Very Very bad experience. April 30th on a DELTA Flight in a Boeing 757. Flight Attendants would not address. One laughed at my statement of fact - no respect for the Customer. Filed a complaint to DELTA with Pictures and a full list of the details. DELTA Customer Service finally called me on 06/12/2025 and offered only 10,000 miles or $100 voucher. A totally inadequate response. I requested escalation and was told there was no further escalation and he was it. He ignored my repeated requests to escalate the specifics. Also, stay off the Boeing 757 Delta configuration as it is very very very narrow seats. Did I mention the very narrow seats. I am telling all my Colleagues across the US and extended Family to not Fly Delta. Please join me in ending DELTA's poor customer service.

My daughters and I were leaving from Honolulu to Tampa with an overnight layover in Seattle. We had just been on an incredible 10 day vacation in Hawaii. Our flight to Seattle was very ok. We spent the night in Seattle. The next flight was leaving at 10 am the next morning. It was changed to noon. Then I received a text in the middle of the night telling me that it wouldn't be until 3:00 pm. Before 5 pm, I received two more texts telling me that the flight was delayed again. I didn't arrive into Tampa until 3:00 A.M! Whether I was getting a bargain deal or not, this was not acceptable. I never received a sincere apology. I was given three $12 food tickets which weren't working.

Delta = Disappointment. My wife and I took a honeymoon and flew international. The flight(s) within the US were absolutely inexcusable. Their staff talks to you with the highest level of disrespect. On flight DL5192, flight attendants China and Jasmine were even combative with several of the passengers. One lady was asked to put her jacket under the chair in front of her while trying to put it on. Delta has become the Walmart of the airline industry. I’m pretty sure that their recruiting pulls from a long line of failed McDonald's and Walmart employees!

I had a scheduled flight out of Chattanooga TN at 7am, it was delayed 4 hours. I had someone drive me 1 hour to the airport, so I had to just sit there and wait for the flight. Then of course I missed my connecting flight from LaGuardia in NY to Rochester. Also my gate was changed 3 times and I had to talk back and forth thru the entire LaGuardia airport 3 times until they finally stopped changing gates on me.
I had a comfortable isle seat, however because they put me on a new flight, I was stuffed into the last seat on the right of the plane near the loud engines. I could not move because the person next to me could not move. Also Inflight service was not done either. What a mess. I always used to trust Delta, but I am not sure I will ever use them again after this mess. I was late to very important family event because of the delays. This is sad because I always use delta for my travel, I have never had this sort of problem before. The delays had nothing to do with weather either.

I booked Delta One from Seattle to London 9 months before the flight. I was able to pick any seat except for a couple that were taken. A week before our flight I checked our reservation and found my seat had changed from 2A to 7A. My travel agent checked as to why and was told it was a pilot block. So a Delta pilot took a customer's seat even though there were 6 open seats in Delta One. They separated my wife and I, gave us the last choice of seats when we were one of the first to book and I am a Delta Gold Medallion Elite Plus which means nothing. I will never book on Delta again after the disrespect they showed us.

If we could give negative number they would be Neg 5 stars. Absolutely the worst, most incompetent operators. Would highly encourage everyone to steer clear of the joke of an airline. You could walk from city to city faster than this company could even get off the tarmac.

I paid almost $1,000 for a simple flight from PHX to PIT. Them not having a hub in PHX makes it insufferable to fly with Delta. Multiple layovers, delays, and extremely overpriced. This is not a one time thing, this is EVERY SINGLE TIME. Today was the final straw as a simple flight from PIT returning to PHX has had me at a total of 15+ hours of travel time. I am never using Delta again.

First, we had to check our luggage even though I INTENTIONALLY packed only carry ons to avoid doing this; this has happened to us the last four flights we’ve taken. Then when we got on board, my husband and I swapped seats. Same row, same last name, but we swapped so I could sit next to my daughter. A flight attendant got on and made us switch seats, claiming, and I quote, “I can’t do a headcount if you’re in the wrong seats”. Um??? These are the seats I paid for…? Then, they told us if we didn’t switch, they’d make everyone get off the plane because what if someone was missing?
At no point did they check our IDs or boarding passes, they just asked our names. Then the flight was delayed because they did this to other people. Before we could leave, they got stupidly picky about the under the seat bags; if you could so much as see a purse strap, they wouldn’t move until you rearranged the whole thing so no strap could be seen. Honestly, this was the most ridiculous flight I’ve ever taken. People around us were literally complaining on the Delta app as this was happening. You’re getting worse and worse by the flight, Delta. And your customer service never replies, so complaining there doesn’t do anything either so reviews it is!
