Our flight from Japan to MSP was delayed by Delta for 2 hours. That caused a connecting flight to be missed. We had to wait 6 hours with 12 people traveling. They wouldn’t issue us boarding passes and said we had to wait. After waiting 'til 25 mins 'til boarding time, the agent at the desk tries to say it was because of the class of ticket we got. We had originally paid extra to pick our seats to sit together but their delay caused this whole thing and she has the audacity to say it like it was our fault. This is why we don’t fly Delta. Customer service stinks!!

So when booking a flight using their app, they allowed me to book a rt fare that was sold-out! I paid $580 not knowing I was on standby which I don't like to chance it. Because I wanted to change or cancel this, I had to pay even MORE! So I was out the money without the flight. Also I googled Delta and was told I could change or cancel within 25 hours after booking. I was not able to because I did not buy a certain type ticket. This was not in their description I read.

My wife and I booked separate flights to Fresno coordinating our return flight to Boise because I was in Tulsa and we needed to meet in Fresno for family emergency. We missed the return flight coordination and she was on a much later flight back to BOI. With 3 minutes to board, while handling boarding duties, Elias switched her flight and sat us together because he “recognized my wife’s stress.” He was right we had just come from helping her 80 year old father with her mom who had just been diagnosed with dementia. This was a tough trip and to not fly together with another 2 hour layover for her would have been brutal. So, thank you Elias and thank you Delta for empowering him to make that call and happen for us!

I love Delta's customer service! Whenever I've had an issue, their team has been consistently helpful and kind. It's always easy to connect with someone, whether I'm texting, chatting online or speaking with an agent at the airport. They always seem happy to help, which makes a huge difference. And you guys are always so knowledgeable!!! Thank you, Delta, for the great service! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I'm making this review because I want doctor to know they have really good employees. I know they're treating the employees very well and everybody keep up the good job. 🥰

I was scheduled for a flight out of Los Angeles to New York on June 19, 2025 at 9:30 at night. The flight was delayed an hour and then another hour and then another hour and finally had 1:20 a.m. in the morning the flight was canceled. By then all of the food courts and stores were closed. There were no more flights leaving the terminal and I called five different hotels that would not accept a late short stay so at age 74 and alone I had to stay in the airport, which was cold. I contacted Delta airlines regarding the situation and I was sent an email of apology and nothing else. I was not compensated for my flight. I was not offered Delta sky miles as an option I wasn’t given anything just, I’m sorry. I usually fly 3 to 10 times a year. Now I have to remove Delta as my preferred airline

If I could leave 0 stars I really would. I’ve been flying with Delta since I was 12, I'm even a Delta member but the flight that I went on today in the morning while boarding was a horrendous experience. Horrible customer service from their own supervisor. Everyone that was working was trying to help the customers except their supervisor. She’s supposed to lead and she was even pushing, verbally fighting, and harassing customers. I said she could have a better attitude and she threatened to kick me off the flight. Very horrible service.

Wish I could give Delta negative stars, but I’ll settle for just one. Worst airline there is…period. Never on time, delays trips that they know they will later cancel, and now (my personal favorite) DOESN’T SEND NOTIFICATIONS UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE! So Delta will wait until the last possible second before telling you that the flight was delayed. Instead of telling you while you’re at home, Delta will try and “make up the time” in the air before ultimately notifying you of a three hour delay while you are sitting at the gate. There’s a reason why #Deltasucks exists — it’s because Delta Sucks!

I was scheduled to travel with Delta Airline DL1677 on 17Jun2025. Yet it was delayed multiple times and eventually cancelled. I was rebooked for the second morning which required a 5am departure (3am morning call). Guess what? Not a surprise at all, the rebooked flight was again delayed by 3 hours. After much communication with Delta Customer Service, Delta acknowledged that my experience was unsatisfactory but refused to compensate my overnight hotel cost, Uber, as well as the meal. Delta only issued 5000 points to my account which can't be used by any means. The Delta Customer Service stated the cancellation was due to a weather condition but was unable to justify it. What a convenient reason to shift responsibilities and avoid compensation. Will try to avoid Delta by all means.

Delta customer service agents are somewhat nice and professional but my god are they incompetent. They don’t know the first thing about working with WestJet tickets so pass on any ticket that flies WestJet. They don’t know how to work their own systems and act with zero sense of urgency. They are fine giving you no solutions and sending you on your way, hoping for the best. I will never fly this airline (WestJet or Delta) ever again.

I had been an avid Delta flier because it was one of the best airlines out there. Unfortunately, the quality of the airline has declined while their prices have increased. Delta has reduced the amount of benefits a SkyMiles member gets unless you buy higher priced tickets. The flight attendants don't provide service or make announcements when service is being paused. They also spend more time chatting and fraternizing than walking the aisles. Flying through Atlanta has not improved as Delta still has connecting flights as far away as possible and the crew for flights there are rude. It would be best to avoid this airline as much as possible.

I'm astounded by the increase for pet in-cabin being raised from $95 one way-to $150 one-way. You lowered this fee from $125 to $95 just a few years ago. $300 for a round trip is a crime. Having a pet in cabin is no different from having a free backpack under the seat in front of you. I've brought my pets on Delta flights since 2017 and never once had a problem. All of this being said, I hope to never have to use another airline. Yes, I've had some delays or other issues, but Delta always makes it right. If it wasn't for this fee increase, you'd get 5 stars. This pet fee increase is ridiculous! There is no reason for it!

Delta has the worst customer service and I had worst trip experience I have ever had in 25 years of traveling. Will never fly with airlines again. They have lost a customer for life. Booked a trip from San Francisco to Knoxville. Got stuck in Atlanta. Delta loaded us on plane which was broken the day before and had us sit for over and hours with no AC and had over 200 passengers cooking. Then unloaded all of us then made us wait hours before canceling our flight, told us they would pay for reimbursement for hotel or car which they did not. When it came time to reimburse us their airline blamed it on us. Cancelled our return flight, lost our bags. Pretty much everything went wrong. They take no accountability.

I am absolutely disgusted by this insensitive airline and agent Joanie. I suffer from anxiety and along with my medication, I had a weighted vest and fidget accessories. I was told my carry-on had to be checked in. I tried explaining why I needed my bag but Joanie shut me down without hearing anything. Upon boarding the plane, I was greeted with at least 7 overheads that were not full. (It was more like 9) The flight was horrible because I had nothing to calm me down. Shame on Joanie and Delta for treating the passengers who keep you in business as rotten as you could be. On top of that, my suitcase was damaged and again, no one from Delta showed any compassion.

This is my recent travel frustration regarding the check-in process at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport while traveling with Delta Airlines Flight 546 from Phoenix to New York-John F. Kennedy on June 3, 2025. Despite arriving well in advance, I encountered significant delays due to long queues and inadequate staffing. 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.

I wouldn’t fly Delta again if it were free, came with a foot massage, and personally apologized by skywriting over my house. 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.

I can’t believe Delta is celebrating 100 years and is still operating in shady practices by overselling flights, causing delays, major disruptions in people’s plans, and losing luggage. This is not excellence and I remember why I went from booking Delta for every flight to booking maybe one flight in the last 4-5 years. It’s obvious that their customer service is not at the top of their priority list.

I purchased flights for my mother & sister from Atlanta to Huntsville. Original flight was to depart at 8:30p on 07/11. 1 hr & 45 mins prior to originally scheduled time of departure, they received notification of flight delay. 1 hr later, the departure gate was changed, & they did not receive any notification of this change. Following the gate change, there was another flight delay, & when my mother approached the gate desk clerk, she was directed to an incorrect gate which caused her to miss her flight.
I have been a loyal & exclusive Delta customer for nearly 10 years now, & the treatment my mother & sister received from Delta that night hurt deeply. It is one thing being treated that way myself, but having my mother & little sister treated in such a humiliating manner was difficult to bear. When I asked to speak with the desk clerk to discuss alternative flight plans, the clerk told my mother "I am claustrophobic, & turned to walk away from her." My mother did not deserve to be treated this way. As an added insult to injury, after 2 hours, I've have not been able to get a Delta customer representative to take my call to discuss the case.

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. (Oh, and my e-credit fell victim as well.) Angry. Perplexed. Fuming. Annoyed. Aggravated. Signed, “Valued Customer” @delta #delta @americanexpress @americanexpressplatinum @uber

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.

Dear Delta Airlines Customer Service, I am writing to express my disappointment and frustration with the service I received from flight attendant Jenayl on my recent flight. Despite my polite requests, Jenayl (flight attendant) was unaccommodating and rude, particularly when handling my carry-on bags containing essential medical equipment for sleep apnea. Although there were empty seats available in business class and other areas, she insisted that I check my bags, which was distressing given their importance. Her behavior was further exacerbated by her confrontational approach in front of other passengers, suggesting I could call the authorities if I had issues. I found this treatment unacceptable. I would appreciate it if you could investigate this matter and provide guidance on how to ensure that passengers are treated with respect and understanding in the future. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

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.

Horrible customer service. Can't multitask to provide a simple seat request here in Tampa. I understand flight delays, now 5 hours but it isn't that difficult to give a seat assignment. I have been waiting in line and she has been working with another customer for over a 1/2 hour. Meanwhile the customer is in her cell phone when I asked just to get a seat on the flight and Jessica barked at me that she is working with another customer. It takes 2 secs to provide a seat.

I must express my disappointment with my recent experience on Delta, which was one of the worst I have encountered. We paid a premium for a superior seat, but this proved to be a misstep. The manner in which I was treated by the staff made me feel extremely uncomfortable. Regrettably, I have had prior experience flying with a case, and the staff never demonstrated any concern. When I attempted to use the restroom closer to my seat due to a foot injury that made walking to the back difficult, I was denied access. On top of everything, the TV never worked, and the solution was to move seats, which would have required me to sit away from my husband. On top of everything the food sucked!

Looking at our connecting flight after running here and they won't let us on even though the plane is still sitting there!!! The crew on our previous flight didn't give priority to close connections. It is not enough to just say it. Previous experience with other airlines is they have people raise their hands if they have a close connecting flight and let those people off first. My mother was on the airplane waiting for us. I am so frustrated and upset with the way Delta conducted themselves.

I recently flew from Chicago O'Hare to Minneapolis, and even though it was a short flight, it was truly one of the best experiences I’ve had in the air. It wasn’t just that I was upgraded to Comfort Plus (though that was a nice surprise!). It was the kindness and professionalism from start to finish that stood out. The gate agents at ORD were incredibly friendly and helpful when I had a question. On board, all three flight attendants were wonderful. One small touch that made a big impression was the little red stuffed animal on the snack cart they called “Robbie.” It added such a playful and fun time to the service and made the cabin feel more joyful. Thank you to the whole crew for making such a short flight feel so special. This kind of care and energy is exactly why I keep flying Delta.

On June 1, 2025 after a flight from Phoenix AZ, we flew from JFK New York to Madrid Spain. 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. High cost and frustration for very small benefit.

We were going to Italy, from Atlanta and we have to get a connection in Miami, Delta. Before we board the plane send our Carry-Ons luggage in the bottom of the plane, saying that, no more space left on the plane for luggage, and then after we boarded, we can't take off, because maintenance didn't know how to close a sealing panel inside the plane. So 3 hours later and barely air-conditioning, more than half of the plane lost their connection to their destination, including us.
Now we had to spend the night in Miami and lost more than 1day and a half of my 5-day trip. When finally arrived, they lost our luggage, and the whole entire trip we have to buy clothes from our pocket. They returned our luggage, the day we were coming home from the trip and then, when I talk to customer service, they told me after so many calls, email and many transfers that they won't take responsibility. So if they ever trying to send your carry-on luggage to the bottom of the plane, tell them, "NO, Sir."

When we arrived, it was well over 1000 people. After several hours I reached the counter. I was rebooked on a different airline for the next day. I was very pleased until I went to get my seat assignment and was told I was NEVER booked or even put on standby. I was simply given a flight itinerary. The nice gentlemen got me on standby, and I finally made it home. Now the luggage, the runaround I got from Delta to get a request was laughable. I was finally told I would get my luggage a day later and would be called with an update. Fast forward to today, never got a call or email. After being passed along to multiple people, I finally got word that my luggage would not be delivered, and I have to make an out of the way trip to get it myself.

Delta chose to land 7 international flights at a tiny airport in Savannah, GA due to a storm in Atlanta. We boarded that flight at 1:30 pm and did not get off of that plane until 1:00 am, only to sit in a tiny airport that had TWO employees that had to be called in to work customs. In the multiple hours we sat on that airplane, we weren’t offered anything claiming they were out of water and snacks. Meanwhile the flight attendant stood at the lavatory, helping nobody discussing “rafarian” beliefs as he sported his Temu dreads. Delta claimed the law that says they can’t keep you on the plane doesn’t apply because we had to go through customs because of course, we intercepted something invisible while in the air.
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. They hide behind “weather” however, they chose to land 7 international flights into an airport that had 2 gates and literally, two people to work customs. They couldn’t care any less that you already paid for that service nor that they left us stranded. I would rather walk than EVER give Delta another penny. Stay away from this evil airline.

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.

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.

Every time I fly with this airline, it’s a terrible experience. There’s about a 90% chance my flight will be delayed, and it’s become almost expected at this point. It doesn’t matter what time of day I fly or what airport I’m departing from—it’s always the same story: delay after delay. The most frustrating part is that customer service never acknowledges the issue. Not once have I received a genuine apology or even a simple explanation. Instead, I’m met with vague excuses or complete silence. It’s as if they don’t care about the inconvenience or disruption they cause to people’s schedules. I’ve missed important meetings, lost hours of sleep, and spent countless dollars rearranging plans because of their consistent lack of reliability.
When I try to bring up the issue, they either brush it off or act like it’s a one-time occurrence, which it absolutely isn’t. The lack of accountability is infuriating. I understand that delays happen, but when it becomes the norm, something needs to change. I’ve flown many airlines, but none come close to being as consistently unreliable as this one. Until they start taking responsibility and making improvements, I’ll avoid flying with them whenever I can.

The service from Delta in terms of customer service is horrible and unacceptable, in my opinion. Due to circumstances that were out of Delta's control, the flight was rerouted to a different airport in a different country (not even in the UK). Once there, Delta dumped the passengers and offered no assistance whatsoever in getting passengers to their final destination. There wasn't even a Delta rep at the airport we were diverted to, so no one to help at all. They did send an email apologizing for the "disruption of travel plans" that included a link to an expense reimbursement form for "if you incurred any hotel, meal, or transportation expenses related to this flight disruption" only to deny ALL expenses submitted (with receipts).
An entire flight of passengers were abandoned and left to fend for themselves. It took me over 24 hours and more than $1,200 to get to my intended destination. Since returning, all customer service reps I am able to get on the phone are only authorized to help with new or existing bookings. No live person can actually help with open cases or reimbursement.
The customer service reps who are authorized to do that won't call you, only email. Mine said "While we would like to offer special consideration in cases like yours, we are unable to honor any further resolution and requests as we have guidelines and policies to follow. As requested, I have reviewed this case to see if I overlooked anything that might support a more favorable conclusion. Regrettably, there is nothing more that we can add to what was already been stated in our previous correspondences. Rest assured that we have already looked into this with our leadership & management team, and have no further action because of our guidelines and policies." I'm not even worth a call. I will never spend money with Delta again. This is not customer service from a company who cares about anything more than money.

Our flight was scheduled to depart on 5/10 from Houston/Hobby (DL1159). We boarded the plane only to be told that there was a maintenance issue and we had to deplane. The front landing gear was depressed greater than what was allowable. Delta indicated that they contract with three different maintenance crews and that none of those had personnel were certified on the type of aircraft we were flying. The closest certified mechanic was three hours away and would then need time to further evaluate and correct the issue. We then rebooked our flight until the following day.
Same situation occurred - we boarded, we deplaned and the flight was delayed until roughly 13 hours after scheduled departure. We rebooked on a different airline after suffering through the delays/cancellations for 2 straight days. The request for reimbursement related to tickets purchased on a different airline has been denied. Issues caused by, and within the control of, Delta have caused us significant financial harm simply to get back home.

The customer service was terrible. Delta’s carryon bag policy allows each customer one carryon bag and a personal item on the plane. This is why I chose Delta Air Lines for this trip, as I did not want to check a bag. Everyone in Zone 8 was required to check their bags, as flight attendants said no overhead bin room was available. When I walked on the plane, they had several empty overhead bins available. They made me check my bag and then damaged it. It was brand new before this flight. If you don’t pay for first class or business class seats, you will get treated like crap. A flight attendant was sitting in my seat when I walked on the plane. She was rude the entire flight. Our flight was delayed twice and had several gate changes in the huge ATL airport for my layover. Beware that Delta’s carryon bag policy only applies to the most expensive seats, which is NOT stated on their website. I will never use this airline again.

I had the misfortune of flying Delta this month. The flight was coordinated with Norwegian Cruise Lines. The flight from JFK in New York to Lisbon was uneventful, but the return flight was changed three times prior to embarking, and a stopover was added. I understand this is standard Delta operating procedure: to change flights and add layovers after initial booking.
Rome to JFK via Logan in Boston took 24 hours! The extensive layovers and a mechanically unavailable flight caused the long delays. It was only by sheer luck that the last flight from Logan was announced at 11:15 PM otherwise, we would have been stranded in the Logan Terminal until the next day! The Delta staff were not informed of why and when the final leg of our trip would actually happen.

I’m writing this for everyone Delta takes advantage of. I’ve been a loyal Delta customer for years. I rarely complain—even though most of my flights are delayed due to Delta’s internal issues, not weather. But this experience crossed a line. We missed our connecting flight because our first flight was delayed due to Delta-related issues. When we landed, we sprinted nearly a mile through the airport—only to have the gate shut in our faces. Delta didn’t hold the plane, even though we were just a few minutes late and they knew we were coming.
On the shuttle to the Hilton, I sat with 10 other passengers who had also missed their LA flight—same story, same disappointment. Delta created the delay, then refused to make it right. They could’ve easily made up those minutes in the air. But they didn’t. Instead, I lost a full day of my life and a night with my family. And when I called to express my frustration, a customer service agent listened—and then offered me a $150 credit. That’s what Delta thinks a day of our lives is worth? $150? That’s not just inadequate. It’s insulting.
What makes it worse is the contrast between Delta’s polished marketing and how they actually treat people. “100 years of service”? You lost the service somewhere along the way. It’s gone. Thank you for not caring, Delta. I’m done flying with you—and I won’t stay quiet about it. It's not okay to treat people like this. Your customers trust you and you continuously break that trust. A day in a human life is valued far more than a hundred and fifty bucks. Please re-evaluate your priorities and return to ethical business...and just maybe consider waiting 5 minutes to take care of your paying passengers who are late for their next leg because of YOU.

Generally, my actual flight experience with Delta has been good. However, this review is related to their ticketing process.

In April, with no warning Delta move my flight to a red eye flight with no more than email stating your flight has been changed.
After contacting Delta to understand the change, I was told that they oversold our seats and bumped us. I did notice that there were seats available in economy on my original flight and preferred to take that vs. taking a red-eye flight with 3 kids. Not only did Delta not provide any offer of compensation for moving us down a class or the inconvenience of moving us to a red eye flight (I could have booked the economy tickets for $1000 less originally), but they would not offer us preferred seats in economy. For those, we would need to pay $200+ more on top of the already overpaid amount. Needless to say, the level of customer service through the process was lacking...no flexibility for an inconvenience that they caused and this seems to be more and more prevalent based on speaking with others.

We have traveled recently, using Delta Airlines and been impressed with the service and professionalism of Delta personnel, from top to bottom. There is, however, one item which we believe should be reviewed and considered for improvement. Delta and most other airlines with whom we’ve traveled, has a boarding regime that defies most traveler’s common sense and I’m sure that of many flight crew members. Planes board from front to rear. That practice clogs the aisles with passengers putting bags, etc. in overhead bins, delaying, sometimes significantly, the passage of others to seats in the rear of the plane.
This practice is not only frustrating to passengers trying to reach their assigned seats but it also contributes, most likely, to longer times to load planes which could impact departure time. If nothing else, a change in loading sequence (to a rear to front sequence), could reduce customer frustration created by standing in the aisle watching others place baggage in overhead bins. We’re not sure what the origin of the front to back loading sequence is and what are any objection(s) to a change. Thank you for your current commitment to excellence and for the opportunity to assist.

Review of Delta Airlines – Disability Rights Violation on Flight DL2845 (3/13/25). I was recently forced to check a carry-on bag by a Delta supervisor at the gate, despite clearly stating that the bag contained essential medical supplies and allergy-safe food required for my disabilities. I referenced the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA), which protects passengers with disabilities from situations exactly like this.
The agent showed no compassion and told me there was no overhead space left—yet when I boarded, I found multiple open bins. I was left scrambling to shove items into my small personal bag, crushing food and losing access to what I needed for a medically restricted diet during a layover where I couldn’t eat anything at the airport.
Delta later offered me a $50 voucher and claimed they didn’t have enough information to determine if their own supervisor violated federal disability law. I’ve filed an official complaint with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) so this incident is on record. Airlines must be held accountable when they ignore disability rights. No one should have to beg for basic medical accommodation at the gate.

Let me preface this by saying I've experienced turbulence smoother than this five-hour flight with Delta. From the moment I stepped onto the aircraft, it was a masterclass in how to utterly fail at basic customer service. The staff, seemingly trained in the art of vacant stares and dismissive shrugs, appeared wholly uninterested in addressing any passenger concerns.
My seat, a monument to neglect, featured a tray table that could generously be described as "structurally unsound." Attempting to use it was akin to balancing a dinner plate on a wobbly, geriatric giraffe. Forget productive work or even a simple meal; it was a battle against gravity and shoddy engineering. And the aroma. Oh, the aroma. Apparently, the "fine dining" experience in first class permeated the entire cabin, a pungent, nauseating cloud of whatever culinary abomination they were serving. It was a sensory assault that lingered for the duration of the flight, transforming the cabin into a mobile biohazard.
To add insult to injury, the promise of a simple in flight beverage was denied. A five hour flight, and absolutely no alcohol. I understand that circumstances can cause issues, but the lack of any explanation or apology was appalling. Delta Airlines, you have managed to create an experience that transcends mere disappointment. You've crafted a symphony of incompetence, a testament to the depths of airline mediocrity.

Was not allowed to make a seat selection and then my partner and I were stuck in middle seats at the back of the plane. We are both tall with long legs and when the people in front of us reclined we were trapped. Reclining your own seat only gives more space for your torso—it doesn’t help with leg room. This resulted in more than twelve hours of being trapped, unable to even stand to go to the bathroom or get to my stuff under the seat. Once the person in front of me reclined her seat, I couldn’t even see my video monitor since I wear bifocals.
Not that it mattered since the video monitors didn’t consistently work. The airline offered me a $50 voucher to compensate me for 28 hours of flights with no video monitor access. The reading lights are out of reach and only controlled by the video monitors, so I couldn’t read, either. Vouchers are just a way for them to get more of my money, not true compensation, and why in the world they allow people to recline into others’ space mystifies me.

Delta Airlines is a nightmare to deal with. Over the last few years they have continuously dropped the ball on things in, which should be provided to paying customers. One example that happened to me over the last year is that one of my flights was canceled due to mechanical errors. Due to this I missed work, I missed class, and my husband also missed out won’t work. They did not offer any type of accommodations for this inconvenience. Not only that, they refuse to give us a refund of any sort at first. It took us over six weeks to receive a partial refund for our inconveniences. Then, not too long after that I booked another flight internationally and that was a nightmare to deal with.
They were not accommodating to some changes that needed to be made as far as flight times due to some changes with my school because this was for a study abroad program. I had to talk to five different representatives just to get a simple change made. Now recently, I am chasing them down to get credited for SkyMiles in which their policy states you have up to nine months or within nine months after the date of travel to submit your credit request. I spoke with a representative back in December who said they submitted the request and that it will be posted within seven days and lo and behold. They are not posted. Surprise surprise. Go to another rep and they tell me the exact same thing.
These are just three examples out of at least a half dozen situations. I could also share, but just don’t think I will have enough space on here to share the details of those reviews. Please, please, please do not go with Delta if you have other options. They rip you off of your money and their customer service is God awful! Even the supervisors cannot be of assistance. It’s almost like they just hire anybody from anywhere with no training and knowledge as to what’s going on. It’s really sad and pathetic to see how they have tanked in their customer service over the years.

No pilots for scheduled flight that was delayed. Changed 6 times from Atlanta To Rochester, Ny. Originally scheduled for the evening of March 4, 2025, finally took off ~6:20a on March 5th. A group of us customers were texted or emailed for every gate change and delay. Our group in the middle of the night ran all over Atlanta each time we were texted or paged. A huge company like Delta did not have pilots available? Very poor planning. Some people did take a free hotel but only 3+ hours of sleep. They offered a food voucher of $12 but all the food places at Atlanta airport were closed. A person was yelled at by the Delta issues coordinator, the customer should always be right, just terrible on Delta's part. No reimbursement offered. Will never fly Delta again. Delta stressed the flight was not cancelled but delayed, sorry but to a customer's viewpoint it was cancelled and then rescheduled. Tell that to all the tired people.

I booked 4 people to fly to Seattle. All were basic economy. 2 people received seat assignments before check in; 2 did not. I have flown several times in the past 6 months with Delta. All basic economy. I have always been assigned a seat at check in. I called Delta customer service twice and spoke to 2 different people. They were both nice. 1 tried to book the seat for me but the system wouldn't let me. The other said basic economy is always assigned at the gate (Clearly not true from what I wrote herein). I went to the airport and signed in at the Kiosk. Still no seat assignment. I went to the desk to speak to an agent. No one was there.

Would not let me use my companion pass (a benefit of a paid cardholder). I called and they told me I booked it wrong (even after I had clearly explained the system was not working) and then they charged me more than it was in the first place. I booked one flight and asked them to fix the second. They said they had to rebook the flight to add the 2nd person. That was all fine except they charged me the new rate instead of the rate for the flight at the time I had already booked and paid for. Complete scam and awful customer service.

Claim filed for expenses to try and get reimbursement due to deltas neglect. No pilots for scheduled flight that was changed 5 times and cancelled twice and in turn 50-60 people lost thousands of dollars from missed cruises and no compensation for car rentals or food or airfare or hotels due to rebookings and being standard and left on our own from Delta's own internal mishap and neglect for customer care and customer service.

I recently booked a ticket with Delta and was prompted to pay an additional $130 for seat selection, which I did. However, after completing the booking, my selected seats did not appear when I checked later. When I attempted to reselect the seats, I was asked to pay an additional $40+ per leg of the flight. I reached out to customer service, which took over an hour to connect. Unfortunately, the representative I spoke with was extremely rude. When my wife was helping provide the date of birth for her father, whose ticket we were booking, the agent abruptly questioned why she could hear two people speaking. The call then ended abruptly, seemingly disconnected by the agent. This level of unprofessionalism is unacceptable. The lack of customer service training, quality control, and professionalism is evident. Delta should address these issues to ensure a better experience for its customers.

Delta has really gone down hill lately. I’m a million miler with diamond status and can’t really find a reason to keep using them. Out of my last 15 trips with them 12 have been seriously delayed with four of those being completely cancelled. Given this experience I’ve have since tried to edit some of my trips to give myself wider windows to make connections and Detla says I have to pay change fees because nothing has chance on the actual flight I’m going to take down the road. In other words, you have to honor everything on your end while I’m constantly late or canceling on theirs. Kind of sad to be honest but their actions are forcing me to want to change as it obvious that even at domain level with over a million miles flown I’m still just a number to them. Customer services really doesn’t exist with detail no matter how nice the people that work for them are. They have a leadership problem for sure.

I was baffled, but I figured it's a mistake on their behalf and they would for sure refund me for those seats. After landing I texted customer service, and she were super unprofessional, using low-level words and gaslighting me by saying "Nobody forced you to buy those seats" (yes, you read right).

I always fly Delta and recommend it to my friends but I want to share my recent experience with everyone and warn them that if your bags are mishandled by Delta then you will have to go through numerous pain dealing with Delta baggage & their customer unfriendly process. I travelled from Delhi to Tampa on 24th Jan with my wife & 9 month old & after checking in 5 of my bags at Delta counter after customs at JFK airport I only received 3 at Tampa. The nightmare started from here. At the Tampa Airport when I reported the delay at the counter the representative handed me a red tag with the delayed baggage stickers on it. Although everything on the red tag was fine she put incorrect information in the system with one of the baggage sticker number was incorrect. She also mentioned that the next flight is tomorrow morning so I should get my bags then setting up incorrect expectations.
I started calling Delta baggage helpline from next day twice a day with 10 mins of wait time and 15-20 mins of conversation time. Almost all the associates on the phone will hear my story and document it. They would say that, "We have messaged the airport and we can only do it once a day so call the next day to check for updates." More than a week passed and every day they said that there are no updates. A friendly/helpful representative put in the effort to call the JFK Airport to find a potential match and note it on the case. After that no one put in effort to track it and I think I will not be able to get that bag even after finding a potential match. I feel that the communication with the Delta Baggage representatives is one way wherein they only note your concerns and receive no updates from the airport where the baggage is delayed.
Since it's been more than a week I have been now asked to fill a ‘property loss’ claim which I took 1 hour to fill since I have lost two bags and I want to be as explicit as possible with the bag contents. But there is a glitch in their form because of which on the last step after confirming that the information I filled in is correct, it does not get submitted and does not generate a request number. I have been calling Delta Baggage twice a day to get updates and I feel that if I do not reach out to them then no one will put in effort to find my bag. I have not received even one email or call from Delta proactively to update me on my case. I have never heard of anyone I know who has lost his/her bag in transit. I have heard of delays where the bags are received after 2-3 days but here I am, the unfortunate one whose bag is lost as it's been ~ 10 days with no update.

I am beyond disappointed with my recent flight experience. Once again, my 12-year-old child and I were separated, leaving her to sit next to strangers. I was under the impression that it was not permitted to seat minors apart from their guardians without prior arrangements. Not only is this deeply concerning from a safety and comfort perspective, but there was also no warning or notice given during booking that this might occur.
What’s worse is that this is not the first time this has happened—it seems to be a recurring issue. The lack of consideration for families is shocking, especially when there is no transparency about this during the booking process. I didn’t purchase a budget fare or receive any kind of deal; I paid for a service that I reasonably expected would allow me to sit with my child. This feels like false advertising and a reflection of the terrible state of air travel today. It’s incredibly frustrating to feel like airlines prioritize profit over the basic comfort and safety of their passengers. I hope this issue is addressed immediately for the sake of families who travel.

I have been a loyal and frequent flyer with Delta Airlines, but my recent experience has left me deeply disappointed. Delta seems determined to provide the worst possible service, and this trip was no exception. My journey began in Germany, flying KLM to Amsterdam and then Delta from Amsterdam to Detroit and onward to my final destination. The experience was a cascade of failures: delayed flights, a complete disregard for special dietary requests placed 20 days in advance, and chaos at the baggage claim in Detroit International Airport. Even Sky Priority-tagged luggage, supposedly a privilege for Gold Skymiles members, arrived last. This begs the question: what exactly distinguishes loyal, frequent flyers from occasional travelers on Delta?
In an era of technological advancement, one would expect customer service to improve, yet Delta appears to be heading in the opposite direction. The crew's attitude was disheartening—stern, unapproachable, and indifferent to passenger needs. The stark contrast to my recent Lufthansa experience was undeniable. Lufthansa staff were cheerful and attentive throughout the flight. Special meal requests were handled seamlessly, with ample provision for every passenger's needs. Their restrooms were immaculately clean—a far cry from Delta's dirty, neglected facilities. Delta, it’s time for a reality check. If you want to remain competitive, re-evaluate your priorities, train your crew to focus on customer service, and start delivering on the promises you make to your passengers. Continuing down this path will only alienate loyal customers like me.

I was told that they have a policy that will not allow them to change the name and there is ZERO exceptions to that policy. I explained the situation, spoke to a supervisor, and was still told no. I was told I could refund my ticket and then repurchase a new ticket in my sister in law's name but I would have to repurchase the ticket at the current day's prices. Furthermore, I couldn’t use the money I paid for my first ticket to buy the new ticket. I was told they can’t do a fund transfer either. I had no choice and I was running out of time, so I chose to refund my ticket.
I have to wait 3-5 business days to see my money back. However I couldn't wait 3-5 business days for the money to buy another ticket as I needed the ticket sooner than that. So, I had to quickly work out finances to pay for a new ticket AT THAT DAY'S PRICES. (When you're in massive medical debt for a terminally ill partner, figuring out finances isn't easy) As they were booking the new ticket I was then told that there was nothing left in first class like I had originally bought. I asked them why I can’t buy the seat I just refunded and I was told that when I refunded my seat it was automatically given to anyone who has requested an upgrade and is on an upgrade wait list. So my original seat is no longer available. (This all happened in a matter of minutes as I refunded my original ticket and bought a new ticket all on the same phone call).
Now this means that my wife and sister in law are in separate seats on the plane. On top of all this, a round trip ticket in comfort plus is costing me more money than my original round trip ticket in first class because I have to pay that days prices. Delta won’t honor a name change, won’t honor me to put funds from my current ticket to a new one, won't honor the seat I originally booked (which is next to my wife), and won’t allow me to purchase at prices in the day I originally booked the flight. I’m wondering what flight insurance is even for and why it’s so expensive if it doesn’t do anything for you. Delta Airlines: I hope you see this, and I hope you have more of a heart for your future customers. As for me and my entire family, we will never fly with you again!

Horrible service and attitude!!! Went to boarding and when approached the plane entrance, the flight attendant refused to let me in because I didn’t check my carry-on luggage. This is carry-on luggage, and it’s meant to be taken onboard! The guy was so rude and didn’t explain the reason. So, I returned to the gate and checked my carry-on. When returned to board the plane again, the flight attendant refused to let me in, so I missed my flight and there were a few passengers like me. Never ever fly with Delta! They do not deserve any business!!! Horrible service and attitude!!!

The customer service at Delta sucks! I've had to call on a few occasions and it's a minimum of 45 minutes wait each time. Do Better! Why don't you hire more people to answer the phones? Have someone call me.

I have had it with Delta. I booked a ticket where I paid extra to upgrade my seats to Comfort Plus which increased the price by more than 500.00 flying to South Korea. The day before departure they canceled my flight. I had to get on line and rebook it for 12 hrs earlier or later than the original time so I went 12 hrs earlier. They didn’t have my seat in Comfort Plus so I paid another 200 to upgrade my seat. Then my return flight was also cancelled the day before I was to come home and they didn’t have any Delta flights so I had to fly economy class on Korean Air. Now Delta refuses to refund the money I paid for the upgrade seats service that I didn’t get. No compensation for canceling both flights. There was no weather issue or anything. They just decided to cancel the flight. This should not be allowed to steal people's money by having them pay extra for a seat then not give them that seat.

I bought Delta ticket online for 1565,30$ since August 11th to travel to Lagos Nigeria from October 28th to November 5th. From Lagos I was supposed to catch local flight Lagos to Port Harcourt my final destination on Tuesday October 29th. Upon arrival at Atlanta International Airport 4 hours before flight, I have been asked to show the credit card used to purchase that ticket. I told agent that I did not have that credit card, I was not told to bring it at the check-in when I made the purchase online. They told me without that card, it was considered as a fraud, they had to cancel flight and I had to buy a new ticket for the same price, I will get refund of that ticket in 7 to 10 business days. Since I did not bring any credit card containing that amount, I had either to call my banks to increase my credit in order to be able to buy that new ticket or to have someone borrow me that amount.
None of my banks accepted to increase credit instantly, they said it could take 2 to 3 days business days. I could not find anybody to borrow me any money. I tried to show them my bank statement from my phone and my tablet, the agents were still refusing. I even had "Affirm", bank or company which help people in purchasing goods and get paid back later, ready to purchase the ticket for me, they sent a virtual debit card with the amount to pay that ticket and I had someone on line ready to tell Delta they were the one providing me the virtual credit card to purchase the ticket, Delta agent was still refusing saying that they needed physic card and gave me one day to solve that problem.
Since the events I was going to attend in Nigeria were supposed to start on Wednesday October 30th, every thing was already paid: hotels and flights from Lagos to Port Harcourt, I was also losing money for not traveling that Monday October 28th, it was difficult to book flight from Lagos to Port Harcourt, my final destination, the only alternative left to me was to find a flight which will bring me at that destination without giving me hard time. I got the chance to find that Ethiopian Airlines was leaving the next day, Tuesday October at 6h30AM from Atlanta to Abuja. The cost of the flight was 1703$, then I bought local flight ticket Abuja to Port Harcourt. Since there was last minute flight I paid around 2000$. After attending my events at Port Harcourt Nigeria, I came back in Atlanta on Wednesday October 6th.
I called Delta customer service agent to check about the status of my refund and to explain what happened to me. She acknowledged that they remind to customers who buy ticket over the phone to bring the credit card used for purchase and she did know why they don't do it for the customers like me who buy their ticket online. She told me there was nothing she could do for me and anybody who buys ticket online, to feel free to file a complaint. That is not fare because not everybody is comfortable to share credit card information over the phone in order to purchase anything.
Last year I also bought Delta ticket online to travel to Montreal Canada, nobody asked to show the card I used to purchase that ticket. Delta could have popped reminding message about bringing the credit card used to purchase the ticket online the same way it reminds customers for visa and for luggage. I bought my ticket 2 months ago, Delta cancelled it at the last minute. I am wondering if that money was left in the bank how much interest will it generate.
In addition to the prejudice I got with my flight cancellation, Delta agent humiliated me, treated me like a thief: I forgot my tablet on the check in counter while calling banks, other airplane companies to see if I could have any availability to travel. Although the agent and her coworkers saw me with that tablet when I was showing my bank statement that I was the one who bought the ticket, she said I was consider as a frauded for not having the credit card used for purchase and did not want to believe that I was the owner of the tablet until I put my password to open it. Even her coworkers were chocked to see the way she treated me and asked me to report her. For all these nightmares I got with Delta Airlines I will give Delta airlines 0 star for review and will never recommend it to anyone

Delta over promises and under delivers. I purchased because I was sold a fare with carry on and personal bag. I purposely purchased carry on size to then be forced to check my bag because they have 1 (3 suit case bin) per every 6 seats. They need to update their practices because this bait and switch is misleading and wrong.

I would like to update my review from earlier. The previous review was in response to using the messaging customer service agent who was less than helpful. I have just come away from a customer service agent over the phone who was amazing in helping us get our flights corrected. Her name was Michelle. My trust in Delta Airlines has been restored and I am looking forward to flying with them.

Had some flights booked for February next year. We were notified that the flights had changed for part of the trip but they conflict with each other and we won’t be able to do the trip or have to change all of our flights. They are also requiring us to pay the difference for the new tickets if we change them, which we have to do in order to still do the trip. We contacted customer service who inferred that changes are a normal occurrence and that it’s our problem. Then they recommended we wait to see if the flights change again so that we don’t have to change our trip. We paid for these flights and they messed it up. It shouldn’t be on us to pay for their mistakes. We chose to book through Delta because they have previously been a reputable company. We are extremely disappointed this time around.

I am a Delta Skymiles Member. It’s been a horrible experience with Delta damaging our bags. The process to seek help is just as bad. They don’t want to help you. I have never said a word before but flying through Atlanta my wife’s Florida State name Tag has been ripped off. The last time our bag we bought less than a year ago had a hole in the side that goes straight through. That’s intentional. How can you rationalize this? It’s been going on and on but this is the last straw. We will cut these cards up before the next annual fee. Why get a free bag when your bag is ruined? This is not cool. Do not check your bags with Delta. They must damage and lose a lot of property as cavalier as they are.

I booked a direct flight from Seattle to San Diego, departing at 9:50 AM and arriving at 12:43 PM. After receiving six delay notifications, I spoke to five different agents over the phone and interacted with two Customer Service (CS) agents onsite. The first onsite agent did nothing to help, but the second agent put us on standby for the 11:45 AM flight to San Diego, which was already full, so we didn't get on.
Through online chat, an agent offered us 6,000 miles per person (for my wife and me) plus $50 each. I found this offer insulting and declined, not wanting to settle for something inadequate. The onsite agent gave us two $12 lunch coupons, which weren't enough for a decent meal at the airport. As notifications kept coming, our departure was rescheduled to 3:17 PM, with an arrival in San Diego at 6:30 PM.
After one more call, a helpful agent automatically booked us on another flight to San Diego at 3:35 PM while keeping us on the original flight, ensuring we had a backup. We decided to wait for the 3:35 PM flight since our original one had significant mechanical issues. We eventually arrived in San Diego at 6:20 PM. We missed two meetings, a lunch with friends, and a planned ride to the hotel, forcing us to use public transportation and buy dinner, missing another planned dinner with friends. This was a funeral trip, making the delays emotionally draining. We experienced nearly a six-hour delay, and Delta didn’t handle this as they should have.
After the trip, I filed a complaint as advised by the agents. Delta gave us 4,000 miles each, which was less than what was initially offered via chat, and offered $50 vouchers. Despite not agreeing to this compensation, they added the miles to our accounts. I requested a refund, citing a new DOT mandate that requires refunds for domestic flights delayed by three hours or more, which was ignored because our flight was three days before the mandate took effect. I reported this to the DOT online but have not received feedback yet. Delta’s service has deteriorated significantly.

I made a dumb mistake on my booking and needed to fix it before flying my brother up for a family affair. The Delta customer service representative at 11:00 PM on 11/4/24 was so helpful and engaging, joking with me about getting my brother’s information wrong and fixing it quickly making my stress about the event I was flying him up for melt away. Great job Delta customer service!

I am departing a flight from Atlanta to New Orleans and while at gate A15, I couldn’t leave without giving a shout out to your gate agent Waahab. I fly frequently and I don’t think I’ve ever loved an agent so much. He was so pleasant and we could tell, that’s a man that absolutely loved his job. He made the entire boarding process easy and entertaining. From the time he first came on to announce flight details, you could hear it on his voice that he’s happy to be there. Please have him teach a master class on how to interact with passengers and make us all want to come back over and over again!!! :)

Delta Air Lines, Thank you SO much for the extra legroom seat that quite literally spills into the aisle! I’m now an honorary member of the flight crew, dodging drink carts and tucking my legs every five seconds so my kneecaps don’t get taken out. The best part? The first-class curtain just closed ON my feet. I feel like I’m part of an experimental seating arrangement. Love the innovation. Living the high life back here, one cramped calf muscle at a time!

Delta always put economy tickets customers in back of airplane, back by bathrooms. Sitting in Back rows has an intensive urine smell from bathrooms. It would be good customer service if Delta would at least clean, sanitize and freshen bathrooms in between flights. Very uncomfortable smelling urine on any flight!

As a pilot with years of experience and a frequent flyer traveling weekly between Houston and Atlanta, I have had the pleasure of encountering exceptional service on Delta Airlines, notably from a flight attendant named April. April’s professionalism, warmth, and positive demeanor stand out. Regardless of weather challenges or delays, she consistently greets every passenger with a genuine smile and a welcoming attitude, creating an atmosphere of comfort and care. Her dedication to exceptional service reflects positively on Delta Airlines and contributes immensely to the passenger experience. April exemplifies the high standards of customer service Delta is known for, and I hope her remarkable commitment is recognized and appreciated.
