    I am Delta gold member which means I have flown significantly domestically and internationally. I see a trend of continuous determination of services and sky rocketing increase in price while declining in customer service. I flown from Cancun to Detroit and paid three times more than other airlines to think that I will be more comfortable in Delta flight with the entertainment system they are offering. I flown this 4 hour flight, and the entertainment system was not working at all. No consideration or relief was provided in flight. I was extremely unhappy and reached out to the customer service by email and asked for some relief and in response they said sorry and that's all. I feel I have been taken advantage of by this airline and will not use Delta. I am sharing this story with my friends and family for this steep decline in customer service so they don't find themselves in the same shoes I was.

    I traveled from Liberia to LA yesterday (roughly 6 hrs flight), leaving 430 pm and arriving 830 pm in LA, so over supper time. There was no included meal which was whatever...but the paid meals and snacks were sold out before they even made it halfway through the large plane, so we got a snack or two to eat. I used the toilet, not even halfway through the flight and it was disgusting. Toilet seat dirty, to all over the floor and garbage was overflowing. Worst long flight I've ever been on.

    Terrible experience. Locked on plane Delta vacation going to Jamaica. The plane had issues leaving and coming back. Each experience was over two hour boarded and grounded for mechanical issues. First going there was brakes and bad tires. Coming home a flight door wouldn’t close. Each experience was two hours strapped in your seat and going nowhere.

    The Best Team in Aviation-Especially Inflight. I have two amazing stories to mention about Delta Airlines: WOW!!!! I am not going to be able to say enough about this flight attendant. I try to give positive feedback, when possible, but I would have to write a book about FA Stephanie ** Employee Number **. I was so rushed this morning and had no sleep from yesterday and I was really dreading this flight this morning. The K-9 dogs in the RDU airport were unsettling and I am not ever a worrier when it comes to flying but the 3 sets that came through in an hour did not help.

    I boarded the plane and sat down. That was when I met Stephanie. She put me at ease and was just the brightest spot in my day. I was talking to her about why I was traveling today and the next thing I knew she had come back with wings and treats for my grandkids who would be flying for the first time the next morning. She gave me some great advice about Disney and Orlando and some really cool things to do on our family vacation. I was just so honored to have met someone who should be the face of Delta Airlines and definitely a trainer on how to treat customers. I could go on and on about how she went above and beyond for me and all the guests in first class. SHE IS AN ANGEL IN THE SKY!!! I would fly with her all the time.

    The second one is: Little did I know that I would be reviewing what I call the “All Male Crew Review,” but it is just something that I need to share with you. This was my second flight today and I cannot tell you how outstanding your flight attendants have been but there is one in particular that just stood out above all the rest. FA Russell ** employee number ** is the quintessential representation of what every flight attendant should be on any and all flights. He is charming and very engaging. He has a personality that makes your brand stand out so far above the rest of the other airlines. He went above and beyond not only for me but everyone, and I cannot thank him enough for his generosity, caring and AMAZING customer service. He should be in your training department working with the regional FA’s who could care less about customer service. This man is a “STAR IN THE SKIES,” and I would fly with him anywhere. I hope that you recognize him for his amazing service and his go above and beyond for the customer.

    Additionally, I had the opportunity to speak with all of the crew and they all had great personalities and customer service as well. If you are going to travel even though Delta tickets are higher you get what you pay for. We flew American the next day and it was the worst experience I have ever had in 50 years of flying. DELTA will take care of you if it is within their control!! Thank you Delta Airlines.

    Normally I do not have a problem with Delta Airlines since it used to be my favorite airlines to fly with however yesterday I flew within Delta Airlines and emergency flight I spent $750 on a one-way ticket from Chicago to Tennessee. I accidentally chose the wrong airport. Within minutes I contacted customer service. Spent over 2 hours on the phone waiting for representative. When the representative answered the phone he was able to change the airport but charged me an additional $50 to change my information. I thought that was very unfair since I called them as soon as I realized my mistake so one way ticket cost me almost $800. I contacted Ricardo and customer service. He would not help me with my request to refund the extra $50 charged me. I will not be flying with Delta anymore due to the poor customer service.

    Yes..that’s a 5 star after an 8-hour delay on my initial flight that had layovers. Naturally, I missed...we all missed our connecting flights. HOWEVER...every person at the gate did everything (and no doubt more) they could to ensure everyone was getting where they needed to go. Whether through rebooking, rerouting, or their outstanding communication with frequent updates… there was not one single upset passenger. That, I would say, is unprecedented. They were upfront from the start, didn’t defer any questions, and very quickly brought out an abundance of snacks and water.

    I’ve seen so much ugly regarding airports and personnel through social media, yet to be treated with such a high standard of excellence and service was what kept the atmosphere and emotions calm and relaxed. The vouchers for an amazing lunch was the cherry on top. So for Delta flight Dl4200 gate crew…very, very well done and appreciated. HOWEVER…the excellent service did not stop at the gate.

    Greeting the flight crew felt personal and genuine. They looked every passenger in the eyes while greeting us and it was just something you could feel was authentic. The piloting crew handled a potentially hairy situation with wind over the Rockies as if they were mere speed bumps. Very very smooth flight. Then the two flight attendants. They were 8 hours delayed too. It was a long day for them too. Not one peep about how tired they were or agitated about the layover…literally the only thing they mentioned about it came in the form of an apology. These two have a gift. They put every passenger ahead of any thoughts about their personal lives (which were too no doubt affected) and made it so genuine that you really couldn’t complain about the delay. It was worth it. To be in the very last seat on the plane next to the bathroom, but to be treated as if I’m in first class… I’ll take a delay every time.

    I was at the Atlanta Hartsfield during the Thanksgiving break getting my boarding pass from the Delta counter around 9a.m. 11/26/23 when I left my phone on the counter. By the time I made it back my phone was gone. I have a tracker on my phone so I know for a fact the person who stole my phone is either a Delta employee or an Atlanta airport employee. They left the airport around 1:45p.m. And my phone tracked to a house 10 mins away from the airport at an address ** until about 4:50 am the next day where my phone tracked back to the airport again. I sent an email to the lost and found and I never received a response. It is 12/23/23 and I have yet to hear anything from a Delta employee. Is this how you treat your customers Delta?

    We bought our plane tickets over 2 months ago for a cruise we are taking our kids on today at 7:00 a.m. We were able to check in for tomorrow's flight. We go to check in and we are not on the flight. I reach out to them to see what's going on and they had to take us off the flight. Didn't refund us our money or didn't tell us nothing. Instead they told us we have to pay $300 more dollars if we want to get on this flight. They are nothing but inconsiderate people and this was the worst experience I've ever had.

    I usually always fly Southwest. I should have never changed it. These people here are ridiculous. I'm not going to let you know nothing and finding it go to check in early and showed up tomorrow for my flight I wouldn't have had a seat for me and my children!! I don't understand why they are making me pay more just to get on the flight I already paid for 2 months ago. Try to speak to a supervisor with no luck and no help given.

    Terrible idea to fly Delta, the first day were supposed to be in Bahamas but they had loaded us into a plane with a flat tire and had to wait a hour, and on the day back all of our bags had gotten lost and had to wait a week to get all of our bags. All of the flights had super rude flight attendants and they didn’t care about their job. They put you in super crowded planes with no room and had not gotten the seats we paid for while they were empty. I wish I could say something good about this company but there’s all bad.

    I bought a ticket with free changes and cancel plan. So, I looked to change flight. It was $1800.00 on top of my $1200.00 flight home. So, I could cancel the flight and buy a new flight home cheaper on the same day. The new flight home was $1200.00 not $1800.00. So I canceled the flight, and was charged $750.00. I tried several times to contact on chat and in telephone....Chat got booted when I started to enquire about this issue, and was hung up in 3 separate times. So, I originally paid extra for a service that cost me extra, but I didn't not receive anything extra... so it cost me double to fly home, and the refund went on a credit for their airline. Which I'm hoping to never have to use.

    I'd just like my full refund or be able to switch my flight like I paid extra for. I was already in the system and my flight home was actually cheap, but they made it cost $1800.00 extra to use their airline. I can book online now thru a third party and it's still $1200.00. So, basically it's complete consumer abuse!!!! I'd highly recommend a better carrier if this is how these people operate.

    Booked a flight with Delta from Maine to Los Angeles. So far Delta has changed the flights twice and don't send an e mail saying they have made a change. The first change made it necessary to now fly out of Boston so now have an additional $60 in bus fares. We had paid for preferred seats and the second change meant we could not use them so they issued e credits which are virtually unusable especially since I will never book a flight on Delta again.

    Delta is a great airline, but their customer service is customer abuse. I called to make a reservation because I had a question and was directed to a vendor (airtravelmarts) who spent three days saying they would forward a confirmation, did not, and when contacted said a new reservation at a higher price was needed. I was never given a reservation and told them to stop. I made my own reservation and then was forwarded my reservation by the vendor. I contacted Delta American Express and was told there were two charges from the vendor: $291.70 and $200. I contacted Delta and the vendor to stop these. The vendor responded with reversing the $200. I told them to do the $281.70 and they said they would check. I got my bill and the $281.70 was on it.

    I called Delta American Express and they said they would negotiate with the vendor for me and asked if the ticket was reversible. I said I never got a ticket. Over and over again I was asked about a ticket I never got. Delta should be ashamed to be associated with this vendor and their excuse for customer service. I made several customer complaints and even sent a letter to the president, but really got no meaningful response. I am very close to cancelling the Amex credit card and taking my next trip on American. No one should ever use airtravelmarts unless you want to pay for terrible service that doesn't deliver anything.

    I am writing to express my profound disappointment with the service I received on Delta Flight 800. I have always chosen Delta for its reputation for superior service and reliability, but my recent experience has made me reconsider that choice. To begin with, I was taken aback when, after upgrading to Comfort Class, I was relocated from an aisle seat to a middle seat without any prior notification or choice. Such a switch considerably reduced the comfort level I had anticipated with the upgrade. This was the first sign of my forthcoming ordeal.

    Upon addressing my concern at the airport, I was given a sheer run-around, being referred from one agent to another, with each passing the responsibility onto someone else. It felt as though my comfort and satisfaction as a customer were not valued in the slightest. My in-flight experience was no better. The flight attendants seemed disinterested and distant, making me feel more like a burden than a valued passenger. My simple request for an apple juice was met with confusion as I was handed a diet coke instead. This may seem like a trivial mistake, but it's indicative of the lack of attention to passenger needs.

    Moreover, after requesting headsets to perhaps distract myself from the accumulating frustrations, I had to repeat my request. Waiting an hour for such a basic amenity is unacceptable, especially when I could see other passengers receiving prompt service. I had hoped that my upgrade to Comfort Class would ensure a pleasant journey, but I found myself facing a series of disappointments and inconveniences. The lack of coordination, attention to detail, and basic courtesy have left a lasting negative impression. I urge Delta to look into these matters seriously. No passenger should feel as undervalued and disregarded as I did on Flight 800. I hope for a prompt response addressing my concerns and detailing the actions Delta intends to take to rectify these glaring service issues.

But today I had a horrible experience at JFK Terminal 4. I missed my flight even though I was on time at the airport. My flight was at 8:05 am and I arrived at the airport at 6:00 am, I asked where to go to check in with my doggie and they sent me to the line that was servicing the travelers going to The Dominican Republic. There were 3 agents on that counter to take care of the passengers traveling to DR, checking in with pets and other needs, it was almost 7:00 am when a supervisor came and took half of the people in that line to the other side of the counter.

    When I got to the counter to check in with my pet the lady asked me for my passport I told her that I was going to Puerto Rico and that I just needed to check in with my pet, her face changed colors, and when she entered my information she had to call and wait for the supervisor so he could check me in because the system wouldn't let her because it was too late! JFK Terminal 4 it's a busy one Long story short when I finally got to my gate my plane had left.

    I went back to the counter where I made the line that morning to look for the supervisor when I told him: remember me I just needed to be checked in with my pet he mumbled something unintelligible gave me his back and left, very disrespectful. Something needs to be done about passengers with pets I know that we are not that many, but I'm sure that something can be done and that supervisor doesn't know what he's doing.

    This happened just now. While boarding, the attendant notifies that the carry ons have to be checked. I tell her “Please don’t lose my bag”. Her response was so uncalled for, “Honey, you are flying Delta, not Spirit, you’ll be ok”. I didn’t say anything because that was so unprofessional. This is not a pleasure trip, this is a business trip and her comment was just stupid. Delta, do better hiring people.

    If there could be negative rating I would have given that!!! We were traveling with our 1 year old puppy, which was his first flight ever. He had his crate training and was calm throughout the airport but when the flight took off he got scared by the flight engine noise and turbulence and tried to come out of his kennel. We kept him inside with his face out of kennel to calm him down. One of the two flight attendants came and asked us to keep him zipped up which we tried but out of fear he bite the kennel mesh and hurt himself. He was in blood. We tried to calm him down but the pressure of these two flight attendants was so much to keep him inside the kennel.

    We asked them can we keep him in lap till he calms down but they showed no empathy. We too got so nervous and unintentionally forced our pup inside the kennel. I literally cried. During the 2 hours duration flight we and our pup were in pain. I would never suggest Delta Air Lines if you are travelling with your pet first time because all they look is their job. We will never book this flight ever!!! Especially if this is how the crew is trained or it was just them being # racist. WORST experience.

    The ticketing agent cancelled my leg of the flight to Orlando from Detroit for today when rebooking my second leg despite telling us otherwise on the phone. The agent today that we spoke to from the airport was not helpful and just told us to buy a new ticket which would be over $500. I have been forced to fly another airline separately from my family with great inconvenience. The agent who messed up my reservation on August 22nd should be reprimanded for her incompetence and negligence causing emotional and financial stress. Such agents shouldn't be allowed to work for Delta. Extremely poor service experience both then and today. Pity, I used to think Delta was one of the better airlines.

    I will usually spend more money to fly with Delta for the typically great experience. I flew from Minnesota to San Diego and back for my sister's wedding so needless to say this was an important trip. On our return flight the flight attendant Michelle was the worst, rudest, more aggressive flight attendant I’ve ever experienced with any airline. We placed our bags per the instructions flight in the overhead bin and sat down. My seat was window. Some other flyer moved one of our bags placing it on its side and put their own in the bin causing ours to be in the way and prevent closure.

    Michelle started screaming and yelling asking whose bag it was. I told her it was ours but that someone else moved our bag. She continued to yell to get up and move the bag. I told her again that someone else moved ours and really the person who did that should move their bag out of the bin. She again continued to yell at me to move my bag from the window seat. She was truly horrible and has ruined my previous perfect image of delta airlines.

    On Sunday, September 10, my friend and I were returning back to Toronto from LaGuardia airport. We arrive at the airport and are waiting in the bag check line only to see on the screen that our flight was cancelled due to poor weather conditions. This was a surprise to us because we were not notified of this sudden cancellation until we got to the airport. Why not say something earlier or within the day so that we can plan accordingly? Our flights automatically got moved to Tuesday in the evening and we could stay here another day. We finally get to the front of the bag check line and we speak to the lady about the cancellation. Out of the 11 workers we spoke with during our time at the airport, she was one of the nice ones.

    We asked her if we could get any other flights tonight and she said there were none. She suggested we go to JFK and try but would not compensate us for travel to get there. Our flight was moved to Tuesday and it was Sunday evening. Where were we supposed to stay? They couldn't give us any hotel accommodations or nothing. They couldn't supply us with any solutions or offer to help or service us in any way which is poor customer service. We couldn't afford another night at a hotel so we actually ended up sleeping in the airport. They couldn't even supply blankets or nothing. We were just cold and freezing in the airport while we looked and googled for earlier flights, which are now double and triple the price.

    I'm talking $1,000 - $1,500 one way for a flight that was originally 300 or so. They couldn't even give us a refund for the flight. They just told us to call customer service. I had to wait 1-2 hours just to get a refund for that flight. So at this point, we had to consider taking a bus until we finally found a flight with Delta the following day in the evening around 300. Fast forward to Monday, September 11. We check in our bags, go through everything and watching Netflix by our gate until it was time to board. I think an hour or so before boarding I get an email saying that this flight is now cancelled. My friend and I check the screen and it still says the flight is on time.

    We went to the people at the gate who had to confirm whether or not the flight was cancelled. At this point, we were getting even more frustrated because the same thing happened again. The customer service couldn't do anything for us. AGAIN. They moved our flight to Wednesday, September 13. Again, no accommodations, no refund, nothing. The man acted like he did us a favor by giving us a food voucher for $32. What can $32 buy at an airport for 2 people? It was really frustrating because again we weren't notified until last minute of this cancellation. We decided to call and get another refund on the flight all while finding a bus that we could take to get home. We found 1 that was leaving at 10 pm and not too far from the airport. We purchased nonrefundable tickets, desperate to get home and thinking we would get there in time.

    We decided to get our bags that we checked and just take this bus. We headed to baggage claim and this was what really got me frustrated. We got there and our bags were not there!! We had to wait 4 hours for our suitcases to come out. I asked countless workers where our bags were and we were either dismissed, ignored or not given a direct answer. One girl went as far as to dismiss my question and start helping someone else. Another worker walked right past me when I asked for help. I was told many times that it was in Claim #4 and I checked and there was NO sign of my suitcase. They sent me to claim #4 about 4 times claiming it was there when it wasn't.

    The suitcases also were coming down quite slowly. It was like 1 suitcase every 2-3 minutes instead of multiple coming one time. It was really inefficient. Some people were told that their baggage was lost. Because baggage check took too long we missed the bus we were supposed to take and had to spend another night at the airport. We ended up taking a 6 am bus to finally get back home in Toronto on Tuesday, September 12 around 8 pm. Also, I was walking through the airport and tripped over the floor (which was uneven) and scraped my knee. Something I was also not compensated for. That's freaking lawsuit! I wouldn't recommend anyone to take this airline because the customer service is terrible and flights are always canceling. If you want to be inconvenienced and not enjoy your travel experience, take Delta. I have never had such a terrible experience until now.

    Delta used to be pretty good with respect to consistency and service. Three flights in a row my wife has been stranded. Our baby takes a special formula. She did not have a lot with her. Instead of just saying, "Your flight is going to be canceled." They dragged out and kept postponing saying it was gonna be another 45 minutes for more mini hours. By the time they actually canceled the flight, it was in the middle of the night. The baby had no formula and no way to get any. When she asked the attendant at the counter, what she should do the attendant told her, "I’m not sure. Good luck." This is been typical of the last half dozen flights or so between myself and my wife. They’re getting closer to be in the category with Spirit Airlines than with any other. I’m done.

This feature has saved me hundreds of dollars over the years! For instance, many times I will choose to fly a day ahead or fly out a day later because the app shows pricing and availability for an entire week or an entire month and it will be cheaper for me to add an extra day to my trip, hotel included, because I can clearly see the ticket price for a flight on Thursday is hundreds less than Friday! Not only that, but often I will find a more convenient flight time or a direct flight available for a different day than the original day I planned! Booking, reserving, adding additional amenities is a snap, and mobile check-in and mobile boarding is an absolute GAME CHANGER when it comes to saving time at the airport, especially when using major airports like O'Hare that are very busy hubs!

    On our flight to Detroit, we found ourselves in a rather perplexing situation. Despite the fact that there were six entire rows of unoccupied seats, we were inexplicably compelled to occupy the row directly behind a persistently screaming toddler. This circumstance left us baffled and frustrated, as the logic behind such a seating arrangement seemed utterly incomprehensible.

    As we settled into our assigned seats, the relentless wails of the toddler began to pierce through the cabin, shattering any hopes of a peaceful journey. It was a perplexing puzzle to us why the airline had chosen to place passengers in such close proximity to a disruptive child when numerous alternative seating options were readily available. The incongruity of the situation was not lost on us, and it left us pondering the airline's decision-making process. In an otherwise spacious cabin, the discomfort and inconvenience of enduring the toddler's cries were exacerbated by the knowledge that we could have easily been accommodated elsewhere. It was a bewildering experience that left us questioning the airline's prioritization of passenger comfort and satisfaction.

We got to our gate at the departure time with no call indicating being “late” according to the boarding time on the ticket. We were then given another flight 2 hours later. Once seated, next to a solo flyer saying how they requested a seat alone we were then asked to leave the flight. We were told that the captain had requested us removed with no reason whatsoever. We had been taking about our trips with the neighbour seat and getting ready for the flight. We were asked to leave the flight with no explanation, no reason, nothing but the rudest most disrespectful flight attendant.

    Delta’s slogan is “The world’s most trusted airline”? What an absolute crock! I can’t believe how this company operates is even legal, their airline customer service is by far the worst that I have ever experienced. I am absolutely disgusted with Delta Air Lines, they absolutely ruined the first day of vacation for my family and myself. Around 2:00AM on July 27th my family and I were on a shuttle bus heading to DIA for our 5:30 AM early bird flight, and we received a notification through the Delta app our 5:30AM flight had been delayed over 7 hours until 1:00PM...7 HOURS!!! This changed our entire travel day and immediately the panic set it, and we were all on our phones looking to see what other flight options we had to get to Knoxville, TN to start our family vacation.

    Because of the delay, we all realized after only moments of searching that from what we could find in our search, our SINGLE option for our connection flight put us into TN at 11 PM at night or next day. We decided to go to the airport and talk with the Delta desk attendants at the check-in counter. We waited in line for an hour and a half only to get to the front and be told the attendants were only checking bags, and that we could only rebook flights using the computer kiosks or by calling Delta customer service.

    We called customer service and ended up booking the only other Delta flight option which required a 3 hour layover and us still landing in TN at 11 PM at night. We were growing very concerned because we had an afternoon of activities planned once we landed including an already paid for Zipline excursion and dinner reservations and we explained that to the customer service representative. She told us it sounded as though it was worth checking other airlines to see if we could get a different flight. Our next question was then how do we get a refund for our flight, in which she told us she could not do anything about and that we should ask the Delta attendant at our gate if they could assist us in getting a refund.

    We went airline to airline and there were nearly no other flights except on American airlines which still did not take off 4 hours after our original Delta flight, putting us 4 hours behind on the day. We booked with AA, and went to our original Delta Airlines gate where we stood in line for over an hour. The Delta attendants notified the crowd on the speak that the flight had been overbooked and that they were offering 1200 dollar travel vouchers for volunteers to rebook on a later flight that took off 2 hours later. They let the 6 or so people cut the line so they could rebook them and give them vouchers, all the while we stood in line just trying to get some help on our flight that was delayed 7 hours.

    Once we got to the desk, again we were told they could do nothing about rebooking the flight due to limited options and that they could not offer a refund and that we needed to call customer service. At this point, we had spent somewhere around 4 hours waiting in line at the Delta check-in counters. We decided at that point we had not other options and went to the food court to wait another 2 hours for our American Airlines flight. During our wait we decided to call Delta customer service again to ask about a refund like we were instructed to do, and after waiting on hold for 30 minutes we got a service rep to answer the call. They told us we would be refunded but they couldn’t issue the refund without canceling our flights back home and recommended we not submit refund request until we got home.

    We asked about them covering our American Airlines flight or providing a travel voucher for the inconvenience like they did for others, and we were told Delta would provide that if approved by a customer service manager but not until we got back from our vacation to make sure our return flight went as planned. We missed out on 5 hours of vacation on our first vacation day and our zipline excursion thanks to Delta. Our short trip went by and the flights home went almost as planned (45 minute delay), and have now made multiple attempts to talk with customer service representatives to get them to follow through on what we were told. We are getting the run around.

    The first individual we spoke with when we got back and called customer service told us that the previous rep we spoke to while at the airport a week before did not input any notes in the system under our travel confirmation number. We had to explain it all again, and she said she would file for the refund but recommended we wait to request Delta pay for the American Airlines flight or request a voucher. Two weeks went by and we finally received a refund which wasn’t even half the cost of our original ticket. I called again, and the next lady told me that with the airport fees and taxes, Delta refunded exactly half the cost of the ticket.

    I then asked if they would pay for the AA flight like we were told or be given travel vouchers and she said she could not do any sort of refund like that and in order to be helped we had to file a complaint on Delta’s website. I did that that night, filled out the form with our story and flight information and waited two weeks before calling again tonight with my case number. The customer “care” representative told me my case number included none of the information about my previous flights and she had to search the flight itinerary all over again, but at least made mentioned there were notes in the system and she could see that we had called previously in regard to a refund.

    I asked her tonight about Delta paying for the AA flight or if they could give us a voucher for the inconvenience due to the “mechanical issue” that was a direct breach of Delta’s ability to service us as paying customers. She told us that Delta does not provide vouchers or pay for other airline tickets, which is exactly opposite of what I was told nearly a month prior. After explaining to her that Delta does indeed give out travel vouchers for the inconvenience, she proceeded to get snippy with me and tell me she has worked at Delta 25 years and she has never heard of them providing vouchers. She then in a smart tone responded “We provide gift certificates for people who are marked as “did not board” due to volunteering to take different flights when flights are overbooked. I wanted to explode, I told her that was what exactly I was talking about.

    I asked why is it that Delta offers 1200 dollar vouchers for passengers to volunteer to take different flights and change their travel plans, when we did NOT volunteer but were delayed twice as long and she was refusing to give us any sort of compensation. When I asked her how that made any sense, her response was “I’m sorry” in a sarcastic tone. I then escalated the conversation politely and requested a customer service manager, and she told me that Delta does not have customer service managers that will take phone calls to talk with customers. She then reiterated that everything we had been told was false and Delta essentially has no responsibility to follow through on paying for the AA flight or providing a “gift certificate”. She said I could call corporate to speak with them but they would just read to me the Delta policies and I would be told the same thing.

    So…after all this, I have spent hours on hold and waiting in line, the first day of our vacation was ruined, we paid 500 dollars more a person for the change in flights, and not a single Delta customer service representative wanted to help a paying customer out for the crappy experience. Instead we were met with lack of respect for our time and money, disregard and neglect for our situation that their own “mechanical issue” put us through, and zero accountability. This is pure negligence on Delta Air Lines. I would not recommend them to anyone nor will I ever give them my business again. I am going to continue to file a claim with the DOT and BBB as well.

We chose to stay overnight in St. Paul on customer services's suggestion and take a 7am flight into Salt Lake. We then had to rent a car and drive 5 hours to Jackson.

    After a few attempts to get a refund from customer service to no avail, I sent a FEDEX letter explaining the situation to the CEO of Delta. It has now been 6 weeks and we have not so much as received even an acknowledgment of the letter. This is deplorable.

On my first round I traveled a red eye so I slept for most of the flight; did not eat or drink anything. When I woke up I asked the flight attendant if I could have water as she was making her trash pick up rounds. It was approximately 25-30 minutes before our landing time so I told her 'no rush' since I knew she was making her rounds. She looked at me and said, 'we're about to land'. I am a frequent flyer and I have NEVER been made to feel uncomfortable for a cup of water. I responded with, 'you know what, it's fine. I don't need it.'

    Another flight attendant brought me a cup once she was done with her rounds. Seriously, that's all she needed to do. I made her job easy through the entire flight by knocking out and staying out of her way until I needed ONE cup of water 30 MINUTES before landing. This is the last time I book with Delta. I gave them an extra star because the other flight attendants were cool but if you're going to delay my flight AND treat me like I'm bothering you when I ask for water you won't see me in those planes again.

I paid extra to have assigned seats and Delta wouldn't honor that. I will be booking with a different airline in the future for both domestic and international flights. Delta has officially lost a long term customer.

    To Whom It May Concern! I am writing to file an official complaint against Delta at Terminal 4 Sky Priority desk. Today was my first time and probably the last time I flight Delta as I had never been treated so badly and met more unprofessional and uncourteous staff in my over 30 years of travels through many airports around the world. On 6/26/2023 around 4:45PM, I booked an emergency business trip to the Dominican Republic. While shopping around I saw flights with Delta for under $650 flying on 6/27/2023 on the 2:29 PM Flight. However, I ended up booking the almost $1,500, 8pm Flight on 6/26/2023 as I had an important business meeting with officials from the Dominican government at 4pm on 6/27/2023 and I wanted to be in Santo Domingo before 12noon. I booked my first-class plane ticket around 4:45pm, upload the Eticket required by the Dominican government on delta.com and headed to the Airport from NJ.

    I arrived at the airport at around 6:15pm. I was not able to check in online or on the Kiosk due to an error message stating that I must check with an agent. However, the check in line was long and had at least 75-100 people while the self-check baggage drop had only about 5 people. At the entrance to the Sky Priority Lane, I approached the entrance keeper (a ** middle age male) and told him that my plane was scheduled to depart at 8pm, that I was not able to check in at the Kiosk due to error message asking me to see an agent. I requested his assistance to place me either on the self-check baggage drop off line or try to get me on front of the line as my plane boarding time was very close. He refused without even trying to help me. I waited on line until almost 6:40 as the line was still very long and had around 50-75 people on front of me.

    This time, I approached a ** middle age male, explained the situation and he promptly try to help me and got me to an agent. Unfortunately, by the time the agent try to check me in the time for me to check in to the plane had expired (as per the ** female agent). The ** male try to assist by asking another employee (a ** lady wearing a red coat) to help me. She did not even try, she just said it’s too late stating I missed the cutoff by 13 minutes and stating I have to rebook. I asked for help as it was only 7pm and my flight had not even started to board. They refused to help and send me to the 1st floor to rebook another flight. I spent 1:30 at the allegedly “Sky Priority” desk trying to rebook and I only moved 7 places. So I call the 800 and after 45 minutes was able to get an agent. I tried getting on the $650 ticket I saw earlier, but it was not longer available as per the agent so I end up with a more expensive ticket and not arriving at the desired date and time.

    I spent 4 hours at the airport and none of the delta employees were helpful beside the ** male that actually tried to help, but he did not have the authority to help. I keep getting excuses such you were not able to check in due to the E-ticket that needed to be present it at the counter, you shall had come 2 hours prior to departure, the eticket needed to be shown to an agent, etc. These were all unacceptable excuses. I did not miss my flight! Delta untrained, unprofessional and unfriendly staff member prevented me from getting on that plane. I am an avid traveler, Global entry, TSA Pre-check and clear member. I had time to board the plane and would had done some if it was not for Delta and its employees.

    I understand I did not arrive 2 hours prior to departure. However, this is a recommendation not an excuse for staff member to be mediocre and inefficient and unprofessional. If the Delta Kiosk would had allow me to check in I would had check in at 6:15 when I got to the airport and use the self drop baggage drop off and get to my plane before boarding time. United and other airlines travel to Dominican Republic and they do not subject their customers to extensive waiting time on line just to show an Eticket!! This is something out of the stone age. They allow passengers to upload their eticket on their upload and allow them to check in without having to see an agent.

    The plane was delay and did not depart until around 8:20PM. If the ** male lane keeper would had been professional and friend as typically lane keeper are and allow me to jump the lane or get me assistance (This is very common as I typically flight United and American; and they always allow passenger running late to skip ahead to avoid missing their flights). I would had not miss my flight.

    Instead, I ended spending an additional $850 on plane ticket to arrive to Santo Domingo at the same time that the $650 plane ticket I did not want to purchase; spent $106 on an Uber to JFK to my 8pm flight, 4 hours of hell at the airport mostly due to delta’s staff member being not helpful at all, $166 Uber trip back to NJ from the airport and then another $150 Uber to JFK to take flight that I did not want to take (even when it was only $650). So I missed my important appointment with Dominican government officials (Which can cost my business a government contract we are trying to obtain) and spent an additional $316 plus lot of aggravation all due to untrained, unprofessional and unfriendly delta’s staff member. This is unacceptable, I was traveling on a first class ticket and was treated horrible, I don’t want to image how standard ticket holders are treated by Delta.

    Delta shall be ashamed of this situation! What happened to me is a bad combination of poor technology and unprofessional, untrained and unfriendly staff members. I really hope I don’t ever have to trouble delta as this has been a very unpleasant, traumatic and costly experience that I wouldn’t wish on anyone to experience. Delta Airlines shall be grounded! The charge as a leading airline, but have the customer service and technology of a bad budget airline!!!

    On August 12,2023. I was boarding the flight DL 1493 from MIA to JKF with my daughter of 8 years old. At the counter area, I was told that my carry on and my daughter’s one need to drop them off at the airplane door because of space reason aboard. I followed the instruction. When I get to my seats, plenty space was still available, I came back to the carry on two times and I received a denial of my request. I replied to the same person who provided me the directive that I need to pick my luggage up from the door area because I have space over my seats. Again my request was denied.

    The only solution that the flight tenders provided me was to leave the flight and takes another one. They told me that for safety reasons they can not give back my luggages. My question is: If I left the flight my luggages will return to me but that action is not safety reason??? But stay in the flight that I paid with selection of seats and request my carry on back because I have space in the storage area over my seats is considered a safety issue?. The name of the person with provided the directive is Dennis **. Thanks Delta for this inolvidable trip.

    Paid for a ticket on the Delta Site, with an agent assisting over the phone. Attempted to provide pet information then but was told to wait until 48hrs prior to flight. Tried multiple times online, telephonically and even went to the airport to measure the pet carrier ahead of time to ensure it would fit under our seat in the cabin and we were told we were good to go but they couldn’t receive the pet information or have me pay the $200 until at least 48hrs before my flight.

    Two days before our flight we talked to the Customer Service line who could not find our reservation using the confirmation number Delta provided, then spent the better part of the next five hours attempting to connect to an agent who told us our tickets needed to be downgraded because our pet isn’t allowed in that cabin and we provided the information at the last minute. Once again I went to the airport personally and was told to not even provide the pet information then, but to come the day of our flight at 6 AM & an agent should be able to help. We spent another few hours until we spoke to a representative who refused to refund our seat after it needed to be downgraded because it was done at the last minute. DO NOT FLY WITH THIS AIRLINE.

    Delta Airlines - used to be a great airline - not anymore. Recent flight on July 20th resulted in numerous delays into the night and then cancellation at the ATL airport after midnight. Delta front desk/gate attendants LEFT and all the passengers stranded with no info. The PILOTS had to tell us it was cancelled. Resulting in SLEEPING ON FLOOR in Atlanta terminal. This is because of a staff shortage and Delta is cancelling flights delaying last minute and overworking their limited pilots. In response, they offered $35 in eVoucher. CRAPTACULAR. $500 flight cancelled, sleep on floor with no food - and you offer $35.... Terrible.

    Then on the return trip, they did it AGAIN!!!! This time entire family got a last minute delay from Delta resulting in arriving in Atlanta LATE and missing connecting flight. No hotel info, nothing. Was advised next flight, the next day - so stay the night on floor - AGAIN!!! Delta is crap. We ended up needing to get a rental car last minute for over $200 to drive home 3 hours after midnight. Delta is terrible... they only offered $100 in an eVoucher... so no remedy of the flight cancellations, and only half of the rental car needed due to Delta admitted issues.... and in form of eVoucher.

    Delta - you used to be better than this. I don't know why I have AmEx Delta card - will end up cancelling that too. You don't deserve my business or my family's money when you can't even staff flights appropriately and cancel flights at midnight. Here is a suggestion - if you don't have staff.... don't OFFER the flight in the first place, to only strand people in airport terminals and expect us to say thank for the 35 evoucher.

    We are very frustrated with Delta and how everything was handled as a Reserve AX Delta card holder and Platinum card holder and Gold medallion whatever they claim to title you which means nothing by the way. It’s all a SCAM! We have been using a good $10-20k a month on our card, we pay $550 a year and have never had an upgrade or been treated like a status they claim, no VIP, no Standby upgrades.

    It’s all a load of hype with no outcomes and only empty hopes and promises. When you call, everyone just passes you on to someone else with no solutions! The accommodations were lacking and unorganized. Waiting in line for 2 hours at an airport after flights were delayed so long we missed our connecting flight, then 4 hours at baggage to wait for missed plane luggage! To finally get our luggage that was damaged, I had no medication for way too long. By 1 am we could not find any place to accept the food voucher, there was no shuttle to go to a hotel Delta gave us 30 mins away by the time we finally got a hotel, my bags were damaged and we were promised to be compensated to make up for these troubles and NOW they are not offering anything close to fair.

    After one hour on the phone, 3 agents, multiple answers, no help, we were passed to the lowest customer service Delta rep I have ever spoke with! This did the final for me, so inexperienced to handle any situations for a stressed out and upset customer who has been through the loopholes to try to get reimbursed and her attitude was just nasty and “RUDE”!

    Her time was, she didn’t give a Royal crap, as a top customer service agent who says she makes all the Decisions by the name of TAMMY IN ATLANTA - that’s all the info she would give me and with a sarcastic “Too bad” I’m the one in power attitude and you're not getting anything else besides your reimbursement on food, Uber and damaged luggage.

    WOW!!?? SO DISAPPOINTING. THAT'S WHO THEY HAVE ON THE OTHER END TO HELP. WHAT A JOKE DELTA. AND Put it this way, I didn’t even get close to what I pay them per year to hold the AX card and statuses, so what’s the point of paying a ton yearly to maintain card, status, AX, points, miles and expecting top-notch service - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!??

    Delta is horrible and don’t listen to the customer, they also are not accommodating to people who have been through a tough time during their DELTA flight issues and especially the after the flight issues! I am not a happy Delta member. We are rethinking our choices BECAUSE WE HAVE CHOICES. Rethinking our membership and which card/company we should look into because of the whole process of this last month with Delta and how they have been handling our situation is the worst experience I have ever had.

    DELTA FLIGHT (DL991) ON JULY 15, 2023. We were 1st supposed to leave at 2:59 pm prior to the day of ✈️ flight. Then 3:00 pm prior to the day of flight ✈️ when I booked it. Then the day of the times changed... four times with the sixth change in totality being 5:40 pm. The arrival times of course were changed also

    11:11 pm, 11:30 pm, 11:40 pm, etc to JFK. Then after finally boarding the plane late we sat on the tarmac for 30+ minutes with no air conditioning. Delta then had us to disembark from the plane. After approx. 25 minutes we were given $30 food vouchers and told to go get something to eat and drink. They then quickly thereafter began having individuals re-board the plane unbeknownst to us.

    I'm assuming that it was soon after we were told to get food because 20 minutes later they were announcing my name and my Business Partner's name aloud consecutively. However, there was no clarity and their announcements were unable to be understood due to the inaudible words over the PA system, so of course their continued bellowing of our names were not realized. Meanwhile, due to our non ability to find the escort who pushed me to the gate in a wheelchair initially, my business partner had chose to push me to get something to eat.

    Now I, who was once given priority to board due to an injury to my knee, now appeared to be the last to board. As we got closer and realized that it was our names being announced she began to race to the gate and of course she was sweating profusely as we barely made our flight. The flight touched down at 1:33 am at JFK which I was grateful for. In fact I thanked the Pilot as he left the plane. It is my hope that procedures could be put in place where planes can be tested prior to the boarding of patrons in extreme hot climates such as Las Vegas, Nevada which was 114 degrees that day.

    While boarding, my son and I were asked to check our ONLY carry-on luggage since the airplane was filled. We were the first ones to board in the second to last group. I have flown with several airlines, and they always asked passengers before boarding to voluntarily check their luggage due to storage shortages. Delta didn't do that, and while there were several passengers with two big pieces for one person, the 2 of us couldn't even take ONE piece with us. We booked 3 flights with them to get to our destination, including a long overnight flight, and we had to carry our most important items in a plastic bag that I got at the first layover after scrambling during our first flight and not being able to bring items that would have made our long journey more pleasant.

    I complained to 3 Delta employees who were understanding, but couldn't change the fact due to TSA regulations that the customers who only brought ONE carry-on to prevent things like that from happening got screwed. Delta, if you know that you don't have enough room to accommodate everyone's carry-on, then change the rules to only permit one carry-on and one "Small" personal item, or make an announcement ahead of time like other airlines!!!

So if I don’t use the ecredit by December, I’m out $2400. I’m appalled that this is how Delta treats customers. I’ll be choosing another airline from now on. DO BETTER, DELTA.

    It would have been nice to have an apology from your flight crew for their behavior towards me during and after my return flight. I arrived at MJB for my return home feeling a bit fatigued not realizing I was sick until making it to the gate. Twice before boarding, I had to leave my seat to visit the nearest trash can to vomit. Now, feeling a bit sick and weak I’m struggling to make it to the plane aside my wife. Once seated an attendant went from suggesting the captain's concern to it being a passenger. She asks was I ok, I told her that I was feeling super tired and that was the extent of anything I could explain to her about my condition only for her to suggest that I was inebriated or on some sort of drugs. I assured her that I was not and as well I did not understand what evidence she had to support her theory and be so short and unconcerned for me.

    In addition, I expressed to her there would be no issue from my seat as there was not the entire flight. Once in flight, the most I could muster was to lay my head against my wife’s shoulder and pray somehow sleep was what I needed although my condition was much worst than I thought. I spent the whole flight vomiting in bags provided to my wife and was conscious of not disturbing other passengers much. We were forced to carry those bags off the plane which I couldn’t understand knowing a crew would be disposing of any trash. I quickly found out why. Once landing I had only one attendant that appeared to wish me to feel better, and once arriving at the gate after that 2-hour flight, I was greeted by a drug-sniffing dog and an officer who was signaled by your attendant to address my bags and not the medical attention that I needed after they observed me during the flight. I imagine their disappointment when I was not arrested.

    I was humiliated and disgusted that I was treated this way. For whatever reason there was a biased approach toward me and my well-being. I am so disappointed in your airline when I chose before to not consider any other. I intend to make aware of this situation to anyone that would listen. Though I haven’t decided on any future travel with the airline. This experience makes me reconsider after such stellar travel experiences before.

    My greatest disappointment is after the interaction with the officers still, no attendant apologized nor acknowledged me any further. This has strongly hurt my faith in what I felt was the best airline to travel and it’s important to add to your training of attendants a more comprehensive way of determining who is a threat and who needs attention. I don’t expect a reply from customer service but I’m willing to publish my experience if it can help with future experiences on any airline. BTW once in the terminal of ATL I received the medical attention I needed, that’s thanks to the great first responders stationed in the ATL airport.

    As usual the flight was over sold but in addition to that the plane was also over weight and over fueled according to the pilot 3/30 starting in Washington-Reagan. These 3 situations caused a one hour delay to my connection flight to ATL. Upon arrival to ATL at 6pm I went to stand in line at customer service desk, although there were several customers ahead of me the group at the head of line took more than 3 hours for assistance, I also called and texted reservations but also had to wait over 3 hours over the phone and 5 hours over chat/text. Only to be told that all they could do was place me on standby for the next flight the next day at 8am, over the phone they couldn’t guarantee me the seat I paid for until 5 pm the next day.

    I asked for a hotel, ground transportation and meal compensation since I would be spending over 12 hours in that destination but got a 2 star hotel that was already booked because I was not the only stranded customer and I didn’t qualify for a meal. I booked my own separate flight because sure enough I could not get a seat as a ‘standby’ passenger but I was able to get one as a paying customer. After sleeping at the airport without a dinner or breakfast meal I was able to make it home on my own. My biggest complaint is that when I requested compensation at the customer service desk I was told I had to speak to customer service over the phone who refused because they could possibly guarantee me a seat at 4pm the next day or almost 24 hrs after my original flight.

    I called again and was told to get a refund and compensation I would have to submit a written request with receipts through the complaints link, which I did, 35 days later I still had no refund or compensation for my wasted time. I had to submit a separate request for the ticket home which was refunded however it didn’t cover the cost of the amount I paid to get home. From the complaint for spending 14 hours overnight at the airport I was given a $100 credit to use the next time I travel! I can’t even use that towards the purchase of the ticket that got me home, after I responded to their “gracious” compensation for their incompetence they refunded me the price of the checked bag and extra day parking which I have yet to receive, mind you I paid for the checked bag twice of course, so it was not free.

    All the departments apparently are trained to be as unhelpful as possible to avoid paying out fees they should. If you think you will be stranded I hope you have enough money to pay for another flight and not expect the airline to be of any help then hope you will get a refund via the online request assuming you have the right kind of ticket, if you are flying economy you will be taken advantage of unfortunately. You know I can understand selling a couple of seats extra but they are overdoing this practice now.

    Overall, the experience was beyond poor. I have been loyal Delta customer for years. I actually have refused to fly other airlines in the past as they were the most reliable. But wow... Delta has sure gone downhill. I was charged for an upgraded seat (Comfort+) and then when boarding told, "Oops is our mistake" but to get out of line and wait my turn. He acted as if I was lying to jump the line. I showed the agent that it debited my account and all he could do is, "Oh well" and for me to call and get a refund. Wow not even any peanuts.... Or a sincere apology for the mixup. So I board the plane only to find out they placed me in a middle seat.

    All this is after my initial flight was delayed and I had to sprint through the terminal to make my connecting flight. The original 1st flight never passed out even water to the main cabin due to "turbulence" but somehow the flight was calm enough to provide a full dinner to the 1st class cabin. I did ride in Comfort+ on the first flight but somehow the 2nd flight did not work in their system, but sure had no problem charging me. I think Delta is packing more people on flights and is offering terrible service, probably because they are not offering wages that are suitable for hiring people that will have pride in their job. This is just painful.

    I have been flying with Delta for over 10 plus years. They had been my preferred airline regardless of any lower prices' competitors were offering. After COVID I noticed the change in the tone, body language and customer service from the flight attendants, and of course it was blamed on there being a shortage and workers being overworked due to COVID. Well, it's 2023 and I have experienced the worst nightmare ever at the hands of Delta Airlines. I booked to fly to Dubai for two weeks for my wedding. Three suitcase I took with me. I arrived without incident. Delta had me partnered with KLM and Virgin Atlantic for my trip to Dubai and my return flights were with KLM and Delta, which Delta returned me to my last destination.

    Upon arriving to Atlanta airport my baggage was nowhere to be found, not as if Delta representatives were even assisting me with locating them. The first two accused me of never checking any bags and were rushing me to hurry up and make my mind up if I wanted to complete a missing bag report because it was time for them to lock their doors. Normally I would not have been pressed over materialistic items that could be replaced, but these items were my family pearls I used as something borrowed from my eldest aunt. I have not been able to sleep in the last three days. I am without my medication that I specifically had filled prior to leaving, and without my retainers. I am avoiding my aunt because I have a panic attack each time, I try to tell her I do not have her borrowed pearls.

    Now one would question why I checked my jewelry, medication and wedding dress; let me tell you all why. When I entered the airport at the KLM counter representative stated that the bag had to be checked due to the plane being too overcrowded. One had no elbow room inside the airport just trying to get to the gate. In the last three days I have called Delta over 100 times and can not get any assistance. One representative offered me a $100 Delta ecredit. I had an all-out panic attack. I could not believe I cannot get any help from this airline, an airline that I use so often that at one point I even considered working for them. Please read this review you all and know I am suffering. I am trying to manage without medication, but I am completely about to have to check myself into the hospital.

    I did not want to come back from what was the happiest time ever to this nightmare and to get no help from a company I once held up with such high standards. There are no managers to call or return my calls, nobody from corporate office, nobody but the baggage call center who is reading the same script every day with no empathy. When I tried to reach KLM , their representative completely shut me down and told me Delta was responsible for my baggage due to them carrying me to my last destination and basically don't call them, for me to call Delta. Delta representatives are stating that they are having a hard time locating a number to speak with a rep. from KLM. They have yet to receive any responses from all the emails they allegedly been sending KLM. I NEED SOME HELP. I really need my items returned to me.

    No choices are any better, no difference anywhere, it is the Industry of Travel. Nothing to do about it except complain, and they hear so much complaining about it they are numb to it. My wife is still in Atlanta, and will be there still today. Layover from Chattanooga was just an hour Sunday night around 10:30 pm but the plane to come back to New Orleans that was leaving Atlanta was waiting at the gate and waiting on a part (mechanical problem). Delta transferred these passengers from gate to gate from concourse to concourse a bunch of times during the night, promising to get them on a flight but failing to do so. I think they did this maneuvering around all night so they would not have to pay for lodging. I was sitting in the Cell Phone Lot in New Orleans starting about 11:00pm Sunday night and got the word about 6:00am Monday morning that my wife would not make it to the New Orleans Airport but maybe sometime Monday afternoon.

    Seven hours in the Cell Phone Lot hearing "they are sending us to another gate" so I would wait, then wait on another gate, then another gate then after Delta keeping them thinking, at any time now we will be heading home, Delta pulls the trigger and cancels their flight and tells them to rebook with reservations. Of course everyone is mad frustrated and tired, but there is nothing we can do about it but complain. Next time you need to book a flight, you will look for the most convenient time and location, and Delta will have that more convenient time slot. The trouble is, those times and locations are just on paper and nothing to say they will be available in the middle of a layover or any other time for that matter. MISERABLY CONVENIENT before it is over!

    By the way, they finally did have a plane made available early Monday, but then there was no flight crew. So everyone just waited. Finally the flight crew shows up, but then there were no Delta personnel at the gate to board passengers. So they just waited. Yea, finally the gate people showed up, NOW, they had a PLANE, a FLIGHT CREW and THE GATE PEOPLE, But NO, there was a problem with the Flight Crew going past their Time allotment by now. Something to do with the Crew can only work so many hours. Even though they were not doing anything while waiting on the Gate people to show up, the waiting time still goes toward their working time and would put them past that time allotment. Delta officially cancelled the Flight and the passengers were turned loose to start over on finding a way home. Miserably Convenient Delta.

What is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE is that as compensation for a lost day of vacation, lost day of rental car and lost night of hotel we were offered 8000 SkyMiles points for two of us (who are NOT sky miles members). This is the equivalent to approximately $89. Our third person is being offered a $65 credit to be used on a future Delta flight. This is the most ridiculous amount of compensation I can even imagine.

    I was flying from MSP to IAH and my phone fell out of my pocket in MSP. Which I didn’t realize until I was on the plane. I had noticed someone else’s battery pack still charging and let the gate agent know. She followed through and got the battery pack back to its owner before we took off, and that triggered me to let my people know I made the flight. I searched for my phone and could not find it. I realized it probably fell out of my pocket. I stood up and went to the flight attendant who just shut the door. I realized I was not getting my phone back right then but still asked “ is it too late to run back up and grab my phone.”

    As she looked out the window and said, “Yes, they took the…” She immediately said, “Are you sure you left your phone?” I patted myself down and said, “Yes” and all I got was a blank stare as I walked away. She did not offer to call the gate, she did not show any empathy, just went about her day. I later found out her name is Thahn. I spoke with other Delta employees as they agreed she could have at least ensured my phone was secured that moment by calling up to the gate attendant.

    I understand that they more than likely were not going to bring the bridge to the door for me, and I had accepted that. I did expect them to show some sort of empathy. I was reluctant to fill out the lost form on the Delta app, as I figured they would find it, and send it to my few day destination. I was able to track my phone until 130 am on Friday the 9th and could see that it made it to a FedEx center in the twin cities and then to Denver Iowa... now the battery is dead. And the deal is done. I leave Tx tomorrow to go back to MSP and my phone is now roaming the country... Clearly resources were not utilized to see that I have a flight coming back and that the phone clearly could have stayed where it was. What is its future? Probably sit in unclaimed baggage in a box with probably my name on it or unidentified until some poor schlup sees the date on it and pitches it.

    I was going to India 2 days before Christmas of last year to see my critically ill brother. My connecting flight from JFK was canceled.. They rebooked me on Air India the next day, but when I got to the airport, Air India had no record of our booking. Then they rebooked me for the same the second day on the same flight as the day before. The weather was fine- just cold. We had to wait all day at the airport, and boarded the flight. They kept us waiting on the tarmac for 6 hours. First they said it was the wind, then loading luggage.

    After they finished loading, they said they would take off as soon as they finished the paperwork. An hour or so went by, and then they said they had run out of water and had to refill. Finally they canceled after 6 hours. It was 1 am at night, and I had to spend the night at the airport. They booked us the next day on a late afternoon flight. We waited all of next day at the airport. And that too got canceled. Again, they said it was the weather. The afternoon was crisp and clear and other airlines didn't seem to have any issues. They refused to book me on another airline. So I had to buy another economy ticket on Etihad Airlines for almost $5000 dollars as it was last minute.

    I canceled my Delta booking and they released my bags as they did for other passengers who also canceled their trip. Delta reimbursed only partly for my ticket. One of the bags came out badly damaged. The second did not come and I waited 5-6 hours and it was time to take my next flight. The Delta baggage agent at first refused to do a claim for me, and then when she finally did, it was done 5 minutes before boarding for the next flight was closed. The delayed bag finally came one week late to India.

    When I came back for my trip after about 3 weeks, I filed for the damaged bag and for my expenses for purchasing toiletries and clothes for the week that I didn't have my bag. They refused to reimburse me for those expenses, and even the bag that Delta had damaged. They said Etihad was responsible because that was my final flight. Etihad had nothing to do with Delta's problems. They did not damage my bag, nor did I check in my second bag with them as Delta did not have my bag. I keep getting the same canned response from their management saying they are not responsible. It has become a TRASH airline.

    Where do I even begin with our Delta experiences? Our latest experience is just the latest instance of the terrible customer care that Delta provides. This recent trip with Delta has been extremely terrible that I advise everyone to stay away from this airline. If you want to travel with minimal stress and be well taken care of when unexpected travel situations happen, especially if you are traveling with a baby, definitely book any other airline! Delta will not make anything easy or better for you when they cause a major interruption in your travel. We will never book with Delta again (and we travel internationally multiple times a year). It just isn't worth the hassle and uncertainty with them.

    Firstly, every single time we fly with Delta, there is always an issue with the seating map selection that they provide online. It is somehow always different from the aircraft that we end up boarding. Because of this, this time we chatted with a Delta representative through their Delta app where they confirmed that we booked bulkhead seats with a reserved baby bassinet but when we arrived, they did not give us the seats that we were booked for. We showed the messages where the Delta representative assured us that we would be getting the specific bulkhead seatings so that we can have the bassinet for our baby on this long international flight but that didn't help because they basically told us "sorry, out of luck".

    I also called the reservation agents over the phone and apparently, they knew nothing about our confirmed seating arrangements or requests somehow. They have a major issue communicating internally because how can an agent online assign us seats and confirm it for us and then Delta not honor them when we arrive in person? To add to that issue, after finally getting on board with some regular seating that doesn't match what we originally booked, our international flight did not take off due to technical issues. That's fine because safety first but after 4 hours of sitting in the airplane (remember, we have a 3 month old baby with us and no bassinet), not knowing when and if this issue will be fixed, with no food or drinks (because they can not serve while on ground which is okay, it is a rule I guess)…

    They deboarded us and transferred us to board another airplane so that we can finally start heading to our next destination. At this point, we have already missed our connecting flight in Amsterdam so we tried to rebook that leg while waiting to take off but they told us we have to do it when we get to Amsterdam and apparently, there wasn't even going to be another flight from Amsterdam to our final destination for another 2 days! Now, all the passengers thought we would certainly take off this time with the new airplane since we're all boarded and ready to go but again, after a few hours of waiting in the new airplane, they announced that the plane cannot take off due to pilots' duty time (they ran out of flying hours).

    Okay, so why in the world did they even board us then!? Why didn't they consider the pilots flying hours before they even boarded us? But fine, things happen and you just have to accept the situation because it is for all of our safeties of course and we weren't in a rush to try to catch our connecting flight since they caused us to miss it anyway but what is extremely UNACCEPTABLE is the lack of their customer care for all of the issues that they caused! These are not small issues. After announcing the flight has been cancelled, you would think that a big airline company such as Delta would do their best to assist. WRONG! The agent at the airport stated he couldn’t do anything for us, except basically help to click the link on our phones to book a hotel, wow.

    They boarded a flight on a plane that they knew had issues-- only to keep everyone waiting on the tarmac while attempting to repair the plane and then, adding insult to injury, returning to the airport after takeoff more than an hour later because the original issue was never resolved. Compounding their lack of any care, they then did not bother to have anyone meet the passengers or explain the next steps until an hour after deboarding the plane in the Mexico City. Seven hours later, they finally put people up in a cheap hotel after "delaying" the flight to the next morning. But even then, it was difficult to get any food or drink because the hotel had a barely functioning restaurant. Delta once was a decent airline. But they have decided to devolve in the direction of American and United. Too bad. They were the only chance the USA had of having a good airline.

Then this gate agent threatened customers that they would load the plane but it would sit at the gate until someone gave up their seat. I would rather walk than fly this airline again.

About thirty minutes later the plane was ready for boarding. The line formed for handicapped boarding and the same agent came over to me in a very loud voice and instructed me to get into the handicapped line. I again politely told her I am not handicapped and would wait for regular boarding with my family, and that this was the second time I had told her I am not handicapped.

    When the handicapped line was almost done being boarded, she came over a third time and screamed at me, “Maam, this is your last chance to board as handicapped”. I screamed back, “Maam, this is the third time I have told you I am not handicapped and I don’t appreciate you embarrassing me in front of other passengers”. I asked her name and she walked off without giving it to me or letting me see her name tag. When I boarded a different boarding agent scanned my ticket. I asked her for the name of the other agent so that I could file a complaint. She showed me her name badge and said, “The other girl is new.

I waited 45 minutes for my luggage to come out, and when it did and I discovered my broken, leaking suitcase, a friendly Delta agent helped me open a claim and assured me that I would be compensated.

    They sent a replacement suitcase, and asked me to submit documentation and receipts of the broken items, which I had shown to the agent. Almost a month later, they determined that they are not at fault for damaged contents because they "have no control how fragile items are packed" — completely disregarding the fact that my suitcase was smashed to smithereens and my items would never have broken otherwise.

    First of I paid for my family of 9 to come to Disney (I live there in the winter), they took my money for all the flights there and back for Michigan but I can not claim the sky miles because I was not on the flights.... Well you sure took my money fast enough. The other major thing is my family was expect to land in Florida at 4:20. They did not get there until 10:30. First they needed to fix something which took forever. Finally they fixed it but lo and behold the pilot's hours were up and they needed to find another pilot (shouldn't they have anticipated that during the fixing of the plane). They finally got a pilot and had to de-ice the plane (understandable) but then the deicer broke down in front of the plane and they had to find something big enough to tow it out of there.

    All this and little ones on the plane... And you bet there was no food. Then they give them each a 50 voucher because of the extra time spent on the plane because of traffic congestion???? Excuse me does the above look like that? Not only that but they had to spend it on a Delta flight...yeah right. Why don't you give them a usable credit card to grab a bite to eat or such? They barely made it back in time for the lift from the airport to Disney.

    My initial flight was randomly going to be 6 hrs late so even though I paid for direct the next best thing was getting stuck in ATL for 2 hrs. Then the connecting is delayed and they thoughtfully sent a 15 dollar airport restaurant voucher which didn't work at airport restaurants. My time is worth more than that to me!

    I have never experienced such terrible Customer Service in my life! When I went to the Service Desk to ask the employees a question about a flight an Attendant didn't want to be bothered. She raised her voice and said that, "You people don't want to read the flight boards!" I told her to do her job while she kept screaming at me to read the board. When my wife and I finally reached our destination to Love Field in Dallas, Texas we had to stay on the plane for an additional hour because Delta only has one ramp and the previous flight had some type of problem. This company needs to train their employees about Customer Service. I will never fly with Delta again in my life and I will tell my friends not to fly with them as well. They are horrible!!

    I had to travel internationally - I had 2 choices: (1) Indirect for $1600 to $1900, (2) direct for $3300. I chose the significantly more expensive $3300 option to fly direct to conserve my time and to accommodate a very strict travel schedule I had. On my flight back, my direct flight was cancelled and I had to take an indirect flight. In the process, I lost my exit row seat, my travel schedule changed from 10 hours to over 16 hours, I had to take 2 different shuttles to get to my car. Overall horrible experience.

    When contacted Delta to refund me for the services not delivered, I received a polite and apologetic email back saying "we cannot reimburse the change or purchase ticket fees and must decline your request". How does a business continue to take money for services not fulfilled? Isn't this fraud? As I look for future travel, Delta is not my #1 choice as it was in the past. I flew Qatar Airways for another international trip and it was nicer. Delta needs to learn to be an honest business.

    I booked a flight for my family to fly to California from Pa for a trip for my family. I upgraded to business class and spent a ton of money. I did this because my son has special needs and to avoid stress and sensory overload, etc. When departing CA to PA they called our crew to take care of another flight that the crew didn't show up for. Therefore our flight was cancelled. They rebooked our flight for another day. I had to pay for a different hotel, fees etc to get home. A ton of additional issues to get home.

    When flying home we did not receive what we paid for business class and flew regular cabin. When I called to voice my concerns the customer service rep wouldn’t refund my additional cost and said it wasn’t their fault because of weather. Delta reps in California told us our crew was taken because other crew didn’t show. Weather had nothing to do with it. I tried contacting other customer service and no one cared.

    Booked my flight a month ago from today. Flight leaves tomorrow. Received notification that we’ve been checked in but noticed our exit seats were taken, and we were assigned seats a row behind. Had to call and get a refund. When asked for the reason, I was told about an aircraft switch, to an exact model of the previous plane (Boeing 767)….Even if that were the case, it’s not like they wiped the whole plane and started from scratch. Therefore my seats should’ve still been honored. Granted, this is the first time something like this has a happened, but I’m very disappointed in Delta…Don’t want to say it’s racial, but it’s definitely up for debate.

    Delta Airlines is a terrible airline. They recently canceled my flight without any notice, leaving me stranded at the airport with no way to get to my destination. When I tried to call their customer service line, I was on hold for hours before I finally spoke to someone. The representative was unhelpful and seemed to have no idea how to handle the situation. To make matters worse, Delta Airlines did not offer any compensation or alternative options for my canceled flight. I was left to figure out my own transportation and had to spend additional money on last-minute bookings. The lack of communication and poor customer service is unacceptable, and I would never recommend Delta Airlines to anyone. If they can't even handle a simple flight cancellation, how can they be trusted to safely transport passengers to their destinations? Save yourself the headache and fly with a different airline.

    This is not about my flight. My father and niece are flying out in UPPER class of Virgin today (01/29/23) from Atlanta. I went there to assist them as my father is 89 years old. I went to Virgin Atlantic counter. There are 3 counters with 3 people (left to right), Economy, premium economy and upper class. I went to the upper class counter and from the minute I stood there I saw attitude from lady in the counter. She was like "YOU DON'T BELONG HERE."

    She told me to come to her by waving her fingers and asked the travel documents. I gave her travel documents of my father and niece. She started showing attitude and asked my niece when was she coming back. After my niece answered she processed and printed tickets, looked at me, signaled with her hand, to keep the check in baggage on scale.. I did that. Then she printed the tickets for everything. She STAPPLED, STAPPLED, THE TICKETS IN THIS ORDER, London to Delhi, behind that Atlanta to London and checked baggage tickets.

    Never seen an agent stapling and that two in that strange order. Even though I am in front of her and I gave the documents to her she gave it to my niece. I took the tickets from my niece and checked them removed the staple because the first boarding pass is behind the second boarding pass. Then when she was processing my father paperwork she asked him when he was coming back. After he answered she processed the paper work and gave it to my niece who was standing far away while I was standing in front of her.

    I took the passport, OCI card, and tickets from my niece and looked at them. There was only one boarding pass. Atlanta to London. I asked her about the second boarding pass and her reply was “I don’t know. It did not print”. When I asked why. She looked down and said “It just printed” and gave it to me. I moved on and went to the economy counter and asked for “SUPERVISOR OR MANAGER” TO TALK TO. The lady in economy counter said “They are busy at the gates and are not available now”.

    I sent my dad and niece and after getting into the car I called delta. The agent told me that I should have insisted to call supervisor and they should have called them. Based on my experience today I believe they are acting as a group and let me go without calling supervisor. I am a Delta Platinum Medallion for last 15 years and Diamond Medallion for 2 years and with service I got I am ASHAMED to say that. IN the last 6 months, because of me, my family took at least 8 Delta One Trips. I want to file a written complaint and I want to hear form delta and especially from the agents.

    Tell me how a company can load a plane with passengers and their luggage, all appropriate customers, and meeting all criteria THEN DELTA AIRLINES, without informing the passengers, REMOVES PASSENGER LUGGAGE WITHOUT NOTICE. The airplane flies to Bermuda where passengers discover their luggage has “disappeared/vanished.” Flight members inform passengers that a huge amount of luggage was removed from the plane-before takeoff, and other “higher revenue” business items were stowed in the plane when passenger luggage was “bumped!” DELTA PROMISED TO SEND THE LUGGAGE the next day which was a LIE and DID NOT HAPPEN. In fact, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday passed and STILL NO LUGGAGE, though many empty promises.

    Imagine, going on a vacation paying to have luggage with you, and the luggage is basically discarded from plane/held hostage by the airlines, and you have no items from your luggage. DELTA IS SO DISORGANIZED, that it tried to send the luggage to BERMUDA AFTER THE VACATION WAS OVER! Even though they were well informed by us and aware of travel plans. We have flown Delta since the 1970s, and chose DELTA because of that trust. NO MORE, because they prove by action to be neither competent, organized, nor trustworthy.

Then just about to fly to first leg, they cancelled my 2nd leg flight. At MSP I pleaded to the agents at Airport and finally got a flight for SEA. I reached 5 PM PST in Seattle (After so many cancelation). My next flight to final destination (PDX) was 7:56 PM. They kept delaying the flight till 1:45 AM and finally announced that flight is canceled. Really. They did not book me to any flight and did not offered any hotel. What do I do at Airport.

    My parent immediately booked tkt for next available flight at 7:30 AM for a premium price of ~$520. (A flight which usually cost under $100) Early Morning When I reached to the counter to see if I can use my original last leg so I do not have to pay double. I was told they can't do anything even though my original tkt was till PDX. Desperate to go home first time after 1st Semester of my college I boarded the flight on my new tkt and saw empty seats.

    It is just ridiculous when Airline try to make money and not care their Customer. My parents have to shell out $520 just to fly me from SEA to PDX even though I already had a tkt up to PDX. What a Shame!!!. I have spent more than 10 hrs and their customer service is just going in circle and not willing to help. I hope Delta would listen through this feedback. Let us see what is the impact of giving feedback. Anyone listening. Customer pain points!!!! To all NEVER TRUST DELTA and its CUSTOMER SERVICE.

    I never had good experience with this Airline, but my last two experiences are the whole new level. In summer of 2022 I was booking flights back from Europe for my family and they double charged me for same flights and took them 3 weeks to refund the money. In December they canceled our flights to Colorado last-minute two days in a row, and would not rebook us until well half way into our vacation. Insultingly they tried to offer us a layover flight in Los Angeles, on day 4 and even that without a guarantee that would make our direct flight I paid more for, an 8 hour travel. We spent two days including Christmas Eve trying to get a resolution with customer service (if you can call it that). We lost all the money we paid for our stay in Colorado, and ended up staying in Atlanta for the holidays with no plans, and no vacation days left.

    My emotions aside, this company simply does not feel the need to care for their passengers. Our well being and experience simply takes the backseat, and their frontline people hide behind the process and simply shrug it off. We are simply cargo to them, and cargo can be shuffled around and delayed with no consequences. They surely do not live up to their tone-deaf advertisements they make us watch prior to takeoff.

    What grinds my gears even more is that they will make you move a pound of luggage from one bag and right into another because of 'weight limit'... Defies all logic. All bags - by weight and volume still ends up on the same plane. Why would a company have processes in place to add to the passenger (cargo) frustration, and intentionally not do anything about it. They fully capable to provide everyone care, but they make conscious effort to not do that. They ask us to complete surveys, and I'm sure they get plenty of feedback like this, but they simply chose to not do anything about it. What a shame...

Then I call again and tell them to reroute the bag to Norfolk, Virginia where I’m spending Christmas with my family.

    I texted the rep again using the Delta texting service to make sure it was going there. They said yes it was going to ORF airport and that there was no update in the system yet. I wake up today on Sat Dec 24th to find out my bag is now going from ATL-CLE on DL 1355 even though I specifically instructed Delta two times over phone and text service to deliver it to Norfolk, Virginia.

    What a joke. So my fiance and I booked the flight 6 months in advance because it is extremely difficult for us both to take off work. She is a banker, and I work in EMS. We both got approved for 2 weeks in December for our anniversary trip and not to mention, she is from there and hasn't been back since she moved to the USA 13 + years ago. Delta decided that for *their* convenience, they would take the liberty of adjusting our flight to have a 5 hour layover in new york. I specifically set up the flight so that it would be direct, not a 10 - 12 hour experience. Her family is supposed to meet us at the airport, and rolling in at midnight on 12/1 is not going to work for them. We also booked a rental to be picked up on 12/1 and this causes obvious problems with that too.

    I called, the first representative was very bland and not empathetic to the situation at all, so I asked to be transferred to a manager. The manager, Mark, was also extraordinarily bland and refused to do anything about it. He said the only thing he was willing to do would be to either schedule us on a flight later in the day for less layover time (but still landing at midnight) or push our trip back a whole day to the following day. Major inconvenience considering the car situation, it's our anniversary, and the fact that when I book a flight - it is booked for what works with our schedule. I don't book it to be chopped and screwed around for the airlines convenience.

    When I asked mr. Mark for a partial refund or a voucher/upgrade, he would not do it and again was very bland. To put it bluntly, I'll not be flying Delta in the future and I'll be sure to share my experience everywhere I am able to review this airline/anytime anyone in my life brings up wanting to take a trip anywhere.

We will miss our connecting flight to IAD because there are no flights that late - and will spend yet another night in a hotel in Atlanta. We will NEVER fly Delta again.

    Delta Airlines Turned My Trip with My 3 Kids into a Complete Nightmare. We were flying from Atlanta-GA to New York, then Tel Aviv - Israel. A trip that I had been doing for years with different Airlines. On December, 18th 2021, I got to the Airport 3 hours before the flight, as they requested, but the check-in line was moving extremely slowly. After about 1 hour and a half, I asked an employee to please help us make it in time for our flight. He assured me that we had enough time. Another half hour went by and I saw this person again. I went towards him and said I had one more hour to my flight with my kids and there were still a lot of people in front of me. Again, he was dismissive and said we would be able to make it on time. We finally made it to the check-in desk, got our boarding

    passes to the NY flight and the connecting flight to Israel and ran to security.

    I took it upon myself and apologized to all the people we were passing to get through security and get to our gate. Just as we got to the gate, the plane was already moving. We got there late. I was livid and I made it very clear that I was angry. The problem was that they knew we were on our way. We had already checked in, our names were on the list with assigned seats, and we had the boarding passes in our hands. I’m willing to bet that due to extremely bad management, they overbooked the plane; that is why they quickly closed the door and allowed the plane to take off. Eventually, a Delta Employee was able to put my kids and I on another flight to NY. Guess what happened again? When we got to the gate, they had just closed it and refused to reopen it.

    I said to the employee “You knew we were on our way, our names were on the list. Why didn’t you wait for just 2 minutes?" She did not answer, but again it’s obvious that they overbooked the plane. By now, I was going to miss our flight to Israel as well. I don’t think there was anyone on that terminal that did not hear my voice when I was yelling and screaming off the top of my lungs that Delta and its management are nothing but screw-ups and they don't care about their clients. At this point someone came and told me she could help and would make sure that I would be on the next flight. However, we were going to miss the flight to Israel but there would be another flight in the evening that we would have to wait for (if I’m not mistaken about 6 hours). I did not care. I asked her to do whatever needed to be done.

    She started transferring our boarding passes from the flights we lost to the new flight to NY and the flight to Israel that same evening. However, she was only able to issue my and two of my kids boarding passes, but was having a problem getting the boarding pass for my other son. Time was getting very close to the
    flight going to NY, so she asked me to leave and in NY they would get him the boarding pass. When we got to NY, the first thing I wanted to do was to get my son his boarding pass. I went immediately to the Delta desk; the person there was taking forever, then someone else came in and started asking my son

    for his permit to travel and his Covid test. I told them that we had already been through this and he already had a boarding pass, but because of Delta’s poor management and flawed service, we lost 3 flights.

    All they needed to do was transfer his boarding pass to the next flight. However, this process was also taking long. They kept on asking him unnecessary questions and he was only 15. Until I blew up and gave these idiots a piece of my mind; so they decided they were not going to help us at all. At this point,

    it's obvious they had no idea of what they were doing. My son told me just put me on a plane back to Atlanta and we should continue to Israel. Of course, I did not agree with that.

    We went to another Delta desk and I told my 21 year old daughter to stay in line and I would go and use one of the phones that connect directly to Delta. We worked on this Issue for 2 hours, which seemed as long as 2 days. Finally, we got his boarding pass. By the end of this horrible ordeal, we were so disappointed and so disgusted with Delta that we promised it would be our last trip with these ignorant, incompetent, and unprofessional people, and we would tell about our horrible experience anywhere we can.

    I am a tourist and I was treated like I was cattle in a line. I can’t imagine how they treat residents. Disgusting women at the counter felt like she had the right to berate me and treat me like I was doing something wrong because I walked up to the counter without being called even though she gestured to me to come to the counter. Start looking at the people you hire as customer service should be your first priority. I’m so glad I have no other internal flights with Delta. Avoid as much as you can unless you don’t mind being treated like.

    Delta Airlines is horrific and should be reviewed for ethical standing with BBB. They kept us on tarmac with no valid reason except for minor issues for 4 hrs. Advised over and over just waiting for approval to take off, as all surrounding flights took off without a hitch. Then said they had to do a manual countdown due to electronical countdown not working. Then Advised we would be returning back to gate where we would be updated with flight status. When we arrived the gate staff was RUDE, NASTY, UNINFORMATIVE, INCONSIDERATE. Yelling at customers.

    I have incurred additional costs due to Delta (for parking, hotel and cab). Did not advise on vouchers applicable to delayed flight and refused assistance. Left us pretty much stranded. Referenced me to check my emails. However, my phone died while waiting idle due to no charging ports on the aircraft. Finally said flight canceled due to weather. However, there were no weather issues until 11 pm. Our take off was scheduled 7:59 pm. After all of this... then entered the flight as NONREFUNDABLE. I usually travel Jet Blue and do not have this issue. However, speaking with some other customers this a regular occurrence with Delta.

    I booked a flight months in advance and chose a window seat for my seating assignment. My husband checked in online the night before the flight and the seats were the original seats from the original reservation where I was at a window seat. At the gate during boarding. I was handed a ticket that my seat had changed to the middle seat right next to the window seat I had reserved. I told them I don’t want to sit in the middle and they said the flight is full (of course, the flights are always full) and they told me there was nothing they could do. So they changed my seat at the last minute to a middle seat and weren’t about to do anything about it. Another reason why this is my least favorite airline to fly. To fly. I avoids them as much as possible.

    Kiwi.com and Delta Airlines are truly a match made in customer-care purgatory. Sorry for the abrasion, but my small talk currently just Kamikaze-jumped headfirst out the 8th story of my Seoul, S. Korea 3-day layover. A layover I never required, much less a layover outta MY pocket with days of expenses to be incurred here, but this is how manic & irrational some airlines are with this Pandemic. I’ve never seen such wild inefficiency, since perhaps 9/11.

    This is a story about how a 39 hour journey from the Western continental Americas, sadly, became a 5 day trip, chock-full of obscure flights, lost suitcases, international airports on graveyard shift, and crap food to hold me over while I slowly worked my way back to the Eastern hemisphere of Indonesia. My home away from home for decades, equipped with children and a career I need to return to with some semblance of a plan… However, that plan is being obliterated by Kiwi.com/Delta Airlines as I speak! I’m sitting here, 10 kilometers from Incheon airport, where I shall sit until the first flight to Bali that has a seat available, is willing to transport me.

    This is all Delta’s doing at the moment, and I cannot believe my own story as I sit back and revel in it while typing. Kiwi.com, however, as a travel agent, is rather complicit in my defenseless position. Why, you ask? I’d be happy to tell you my itinerary was put together by Kiwi.com, with a seemingly flawless algorithm, until I realized that this itinerary relies on every facet of transfers, Covid testing, and airline employees executing their job duties in a timely, effective manner. When this chain is disrupted by merely one weak link working for Delta Airlines, I became occupational hazard in the flesh… Missing flights, having to pay unreal sums of money because we have flight stewards who aren’t attuned to my needs.

    Okay, so I know this is a little cryptic, as it has been for me in real time here in Seoul Incheon International Airport. I started July 26th, 2022 with a flight from Austin, Texas, USA scheduled to 8pm… From there to go on to Houston, TX with an 11 hour layover before boarding my Seoul, S. Korea flight, and ultimately from S. Korea to Bali, Indonesia. Home Sweet Home! My first July 26th flight from Austin to Houston was canceled and rescheduled for the following morning - requiring my 2nd flight from Houston to Atlanta (where I would make my connection to Seoul and onwards home to Bali) to be delayed. This was flight DL1315.

    I had downloaded the Kiwi.com App as recommended to receive updates and none of this information was posted there. Kiwi.coms’ app was actually such a joke, that my google profile became the de facto OS for me, alerting me to flight delays and suggesting nearby hotels.

    First off, I am a foreign national in Indonesia, and my passport and visa paperwork clearly show this. However, the woman at the Delta boarding gate in Houston insisted her computer was not up to date on the half a dozen different visas Indonesia gives its ex-pats, and that I could only enter as a tourist. “Fine” I say, “enter me as a tourist.” But a tourist must show an outbound international flight to enter Indonesia. Naturally, as a permanent resident of Indonesia, I had booked a 1-way ticket home to Bali. Despite all my pleas and gov info from Indonesia Customs online, Delta would not allow me to board the seat I paid for until I ordered an outbound ticket from Indonesia… So I ordered one, right on the spot, for a couple of hundred dollars, and just barely made my flight out of Houston.

    Okay, off to Atlanta, and to catch my Korean Air flight on time. I was concerned about making my connection in Atlanta, and considered purchasing an additional flight to arrive at the correct time in Atlanta, but as Kiwi.com require passengers to board all flights booked or risk the remaining flights not being honored, I had no choice but to get on the flight I had been assigned. That DL1315 flight landed in Atlanta at the same time the flight to Seoul was scheduling to take off. I ran and ran hoping for a delay but arrived to an empty gate in Atlanta. My Korean Air flight (Operated by Delta, mind you) had gone. This is now the 2nd flight in the chain that I wasn’t able to board on time. Flight DL7850. One Delta staff lady there was extremely kind and helpful and I received a complimentary night in a nearby hotel with food vouchers. I would get back on my flight the next day. Unfortunately this is also where the real problem began.

    Delta could only rebook the Seoul to Bali leg of my journey for 3 days ahead later than my initial arrival date. I would be in Seoul for 3 days at my own expense. Korean airlines would not take any responsibility as they had not made any errors - saying it was Delta’s responsibility, and my tickets did indeed say Delta was the handler of Korean Airlines. ALL the flight numbers started with “DL” , which is Delta. Essentially, as soon as I boarded that flight in Atlanta to Seoul I was no longer Deltas' responsibility, and that I should appeal to Korean Airlines from there on out. Okay, so far I’ve only lost a couple of hundred dollars on, and that was much less bothersome than the thousand dollars in lost wages and the financial struggles of finding an additional 3 days childcare in Bali where my kids were awaiting my return.

    And so began 3 days of being bounced back and forth trying to get home to my children, my clients, and the Hormones that a 51 year old woman must stabilize for harmonious, day-to-day life. I repeatedly pointed out to Delta and Korean Air staff that my official printed itinerary showed Delta as the operating Airline on all flights, but they continued to deny the ability to help me, saying that authority to change me to an earlier flight would have to come from Kiwi.com., who, by the way, don’t have any real Customer service line, nor a functional way to assist their customers in such urgent situations. Their automated help line is not helpful. Their redirection to a flight expert service that promises a real human (at an annual price… NO JOKE) is only available if you have a phone number that begins (+1). I messaged repeatedly asking for a solution to this and got the same robot generated reply.

    And the really fun part? Get this: When my flight in Atlanta landed late that day, and my original Korean flight left on time without me, my luggage actually got transferred to the plane I missed! So yes, now I have no idea when I get another flight out of Atlanta, and I also have 0 clean clothes or hygiene while in limbo. I mistakenly thought I had seen the worst of this trip at this point. Now because I was never designed to be a Korean tourist for 3 days, and instead should have only been in Korea on transit layover, Bali-bound…there was a few curveballs much like the Houston experience where I had to order a separate departure from Bali in order for Delta to even allow me to board.

    So it went like this: after my sleepover in Atlanta due to my Seoul flight leaving me, I awoke and headed straight to the airport 3 hours early to catch my NEW Seoul flight… I wanted to be prepared for whatever came my way, seeing as how this trip had already been pretty eventful in all the wrong ways. So it started with me approaching the Delta counter with one heck of a story and my boarding pass. Little did it matter however, as I was promptly told I could not board the plane to Seoul without a negative Covid test… This research I had already done and saw no guideline about needing a negative test so long as I’m double vaxxed. Apparently now that I’m gonna be a tourist of Korea for 3 unwanted days, I need a rapid test. And of course, there are no testing facilities in the Atlanta airport, so I get to pay for a return trip taxi to get me to the nearest testing facility and back. Awesome, there goes another couple of hundred dollars!

    So I return to Delta gate, thinking that as much as this company seems to want to keep me from boarding this flight I paid for, I’m golden now and I will absolutely be on my way and HEY, just maybe, just maybe my luggage will even be there in S. Korea waiting for me. Oh, but wait: fail again! Now I’m being told I cannot board the plane without first applying for a Korean E-visa. And for whatever reason, the ticket clerk who informed me I’d need to go buy a Covid test before permission to board Delta flight operated by Korean Air DL7850, for whatever reason she did not tell me about this stipulation at the same time I was taxiing off to the testing center. I could’ve done this in the taxi on the way to the testing center and gotten the approval before I even returned to Atlanta Airport with my negative test results.

    So I can hardly believe my ears when she tells me I’ll have to apply for this E visa first, and this is where I just began bawling because it became painfully clear to me that the same staff who I’ve paid to get me home to Bali on their plane, is actually the same staff that are doing everything they can to STOP me from boarding that plane. By the time I pulled my composure together and finished the Korean E visa application, boarding has already begun and I had yet to receive email confirmation of my E visa.

    So yes! I also missed this flight and was looking at another day in USA, when a really helpful Delta employee who had borne witness to my perpetuating disaster, offered me a plane to New York where I could catch another Seoul S. Korea flight that night, versus staying another night in Atlanta. This would NOT be my flight scheduled for the 27th, DL7872. In fact, I wasn’t a passenger on any of the three flight numbers I paid to commute on. Every single flight I boarded was an alternative flight number. As it stood, I was busy emailing Kiwi.com and after more than 24 hours received an email asking me if my problem had been resolved yet. What a cop out!! That email was.

    I use to love Delta. This year it is clear that something is very wrong with their operations. Having medallion status will not get you any better results. I have experienced significant delays time and time again. They are unapologetic for the inconvenience that they cause you. They offer you nothing in return for your troubles. They refuse to refund you unless a trip is delayed 12 hrs. It is absurd that the threshold is so high. Especially considering that all they do is have delays now. I was loyal to Delta because the customer service was good. They were never the cheapest option but it felt worth it at times to spend more to fly Delta. I can no longer say that. Now Delta operates like every other airline. Save your money and find the most affordable flight and use a good travel card to rack up points.

    Flight initially delayed for >3 hours. Finally boarded and took off. At 5 pm the plane landed in Charlotte as it was diverted mid-flight claiming for passenger safety. Not sure how they did not know they can't land in LGA before taking off. In Charlotte, they delayed planned take off for 3 hours, each time pushing it back by 1 hr increments as we sat on the plane. Finally at around 9 pm they announced the flight is cancelled as they don't have a co-pilot. It took another hour to collect our bags from baggage claim. In return they sent an apology and a voucher for a hotel in Denver!!!! Finally this morning they sent another $50 voucher as if that makes up for anything and ruined our plans. I lost my hotel booking in NYC that was paid for. I had to pay for my hotel in Charlotte. I lost my Broadway show tickets. I also had to pay another $800 for a return flight from Charlotte to Denver because my travel plans were for one day only.

    During this entire time I was unable to get in touch with any customer support staff from Delta despite waiting on the phone for > 2 hrs. It was impossible to have any customer care representative contacted and they claimed it was due to high call volumes. I was also trying to reach someone through text messaging starting at 9 pm. They got back to me at 3 am the next day waking me up from sleep. I have flown with Delta for many years and this was by far the worst experience I have ever had.

    My husband was deployed in Romania and had to come home due to his mother having late stage 4 breast cancer. I booked his ticket for him for $300. Upon checking in at the airport in Raleigh, the clerk could not find his ticket. His mother died that morning, and we had to get him on that flight to his parents' house. The only other seat available on the flight was a $1700 first class ticket. I was forced to buy it so he could make it to her funeral. Upon getting to the gate, the gate clerk found the original ticket but could not refund the first class ticket because we had checked a bag under the first class ticket. We tried finding an agent in the airport to get this fixed, stood at the desk for 15 min, and no one showed up. We had to board our flight.

    I finally called Delta, got put on hold for 50 minutes, and an hour on the phone later, was insulted by Delta because they only offered me $200 for the mistake. Now I have to file a complaint with them, wait for a long time to hear from them, just to argue with another representative about giving me a full refund for a mistake they made. Delta is going downhill, and they're doing it quickly. I will never fly with Delta again after this.

Per the company website, Refunds issued to original form of payment will take 7 days. I waited 2 weeks and called. After waiting on hold for over an hour, I was told the refund department was behind and that it might take 20 days.. I waited 21 days and called back again after another hour and a 1/2 on hold I was told that my Refund was processed and that I would receive it by end of week.

    When I did not receive the refund I called back And was told that it has not processed yet but that they would be able to take care of it. After putting me on hold for a few minutes, the 3rd customer agent that I spoke to finally was able to process a refund. Although I have still not received the funds to my credit card, it is now showing as processed as opposed to to pending. With the state of the economy and the fact that people live paycheck to paycheck it was absolutely ridiculous that I had to wait this long for that amount of money to be refunded to a credit card. It was worse that I had to call 3 times waiting on hold almost 3 hours total to finally get it resolved solved. No wonder people are no longer flying with these airlines.

They had canceled the flight and sent a notification after 10:30 pm the night before where I already had gone to sleep. In the morning morning I received a notification that my flight is at 6:00 am. I was a mile away from the airport in Uber I received another update that my flight is at 2:30 pm. I was going to IAH to BUF. I decided to stay at the airport to take the changed flight. Flight was delayed several more times through the journey arriving at BUF nearly at MIDNIGHT (12:00am) where I was to arrive around 11:30 am that morning.

    2nd Issue: I bought another ticket from BUF to IAH in June of 2022. This time I had a conflicting schedule and could not fly that day and canceled the ticket 30 minutes after I purchased it for a full refund. I got a confirmation email saying REFUND CONFIRMATION REQUEST, then in another area of the DELTA App it says your case is being processed and refund should be in 7 days. I received a notification on Jun 20th of my flight being still active. I called Delta and they said it is being processed and there is nothing on my part to do at this time. Today I received a notification again that my flight is in 2 days.

    I called Delta again and this time the rep. tells me that I didn't cancel my flight and she just canceled it and sent a confirmation.

Rep doesn't even know when this refund is going to be approved and the funny part of this purchase is that it says HASSLE FREE 24HRS. CANCELLATION!!!

We had no other options in that moment to look for another hotel in a foreign country at that hour, and there were no other rooms available.

    We submitted a complaint, got a case number. No one got back to us ever. Two months and hours worth of phone calls later I finally get someone to work the case, only for them to tell me that Delta has a max of $500 cap for extra stay. We were not trying to have an extra free night of fun, we had responsibilities pending, it was a total nightmare. This entire experience left us feeling like flying anywhere with Delta is a huge gamble now. No one is safe with these flight cancellations.

    In January 2022, I booked a flight home...first class. My flight was rescheduled. I was given a seat in coach on both flights! Last week I was flying back from FL to TN. Delta kept delaying my flight later and later. It caused me to have to call out of work at a hospital (I am a nurse). I informed the CSR that I just want a refund. He said that they could do this. Just called Delta, there was no refund in progress. It took 50 min of waiting for that call to begin. When I asked about the first class flight in January, I was told that I had to call another number. I did so. That wait for response is over 3 HOURS!!!! Seriously! Customer service has NO meaning at Delta!

    Delta's non-international first class is to me, a waste of money. I travelled from Sarasota, FL to Kansas City International return and spent $293 extra for first class over the comfort plus seating. Both trips were via Atlanta. I had never travelled first with Delta, so thought I would give it a try. You get early boarding, but as your seat is designated, that is really unimportant. There are as much booze and hot/cold drinks as you want, but no food, only snacks. The second leg, ATL-KCI, was over 2 hours. Delta should serve at least a sandwich/yoghurt etc for that duration. As the journey is under 900 miles you are stuck with snacks.

    The seats on the Boeing 757-200 and 737-900 have no lumbar support at all and I found them very uncomfortable. Bring a pillow or inflatable cushion would be my advice. On the 737, I was at the back of first class and my seat had zero recline. It was all that was available when I purchased the ticket. I had 2.5 and 3.5 hour waits at Atlanta for the next plane and was hoping as I paid for first class, a lounge would be available. No such luck. You have to be an international traveller or own a special credit card, like Delta's own or I think, AmEx.

    On Delta's website, I could not find any info about lounge availability, so emailed them. I'm still waiting for a reply some 3 weeks later. I tried to call, do you really need me to tell you the wait time? It's true you have 21 ins of seat width and 37 inch pitch. But for a lot less money, $293 in my case, you can get Comfort Plus with 34-inch pitch and 17.2 inch width. Very disappointed with value for money, I would not waste my time paying for this seat, you may think differently of course.

They even kept the 99 dollars they charged for extra weight on my luggage. The audacity and lack of professionalism of these people is on a whole different level.

When I arrived the self-check kiosk wasn't working and the line for Delta bag check had at least 200 people waiting. There were only 3 bag checkers working and no one from Delta was giving information to the people in line. I waited in line for 2.5 hrs. to be told they can't check my bag my flight had left, I then waited in the rebooking line for another hour before realizing that my trip was ruined.

    If 0 was an option on likeliness to recommend I would have put 0. Upon retrieving my bag from baggage the hardcover of my suitcase was completely broken in and a wheel was broken off of my suitcase, the bag zipper was also broken and my bag was partially open. My boyfriend's suitcase was left in New York. I went to the baggage office where they told me I had to fill out a claim online. After waiting three hours on the phone to talk to someone I was able to file my claim and found out that the baggage service at the airport should have done this when they said I had to do it online. A month later I called back and wait another three hours and they say they will be getting back to me soon.

    The bag they destroyed was a part of a set and was the largest one of the set, in total the set was $250. Their resolution was to give me $125 even though I sent them a tag that showed the exact bag they destroyed was $200. Suzettra the baggage manager I spoke to on this was extremely rude, spoke over me and when I asked to interject after she gave a monologue she actually told me no and continued to talk over me then ended the call. Absolute worst customer service I’ve ever experienced they ruined my bag and gave me half the cost to replace it as their “resolution” and then their baggage manager was extremely rude and unprofessional. I have never experienced worse customer service from an airline in my life. I have never been so appalled by an airline's customer service. United and American have always been great to fly.

    On April 7th I checked in at Atlanta airport very early. Arrived at the gate, printed on my boarding pass so there were nobody at the gate. Monitor showed Atlanta flight on the screen. Later on, I suspected something was wrong because there were not more info on the screen. I didn’t hear no announcement or text or email informing that the gate was changed. I asked a worker and told me that the gate was changed. I walked as fast as I can because the boarding time had passed. Arrived at the gate and flight was still opened. The flight was delayed. I approached to the assistant and when I tried to talk, she didn’t let me talk, just told me to move to the other side and she started checking in two men and let them inside the airplane. I knew they were standby passengers. Then, she started talking to another man that was trying to get into the same airplane. Then I explained to her and shower her my boarding pass and she didn’t even looked at it. She just told me to wait and went inside.

    Minutes passed and I saw the screen that changed the status to close. Later on she came back, she started assisting the other man, gave him another flight. Meanwhile, I waited again for her. She never talked to me or told me what was going on. I asked her a couple of time and she stayed quiet. She just was in the computer. Until I got upset and asked her one more time what happened. I asked her if she was going to let me in. It was like I was talking to the wall. Then, I told her that I need to get into that flight. She stayed quiet. This was a really frustrating situation looking this woman doing nothing for me, at least to give the info that I needed.

    Finally, when I asked her to let me in, and if the flight was closed, then she told me yes. Her excuse was that they called me and I wasn’t there when passenger were boarding. I told her it wasn’t my fault, the gate changed and I wasn’t notified. She ignored me again, and then I started telling her why she didn’t let me in when she saw me 10 minutes before the flight was closed, and that I knew she gave preferences to people in standby that me. She just told me that she was going to try to help me but because I had an attitude, she wasn’t going to help me, that I need to go to customer service instead and she left me there like I was nobody.

    What kind of customer services this woman has, she was unprofessional, she ignored me since the beginning, she lied to me, she fooled me like I was a kid. If she would have explained to me since I got there, I would understood. This is unacceptable and intolerable. I never have such a bad experience with Delta before. I asked for her name and she didn’t tell me. I wish you guys know who was the person “in charged” that day and that time. She should received a warning and re-trained her how to take care of customer.

    They left us all stranded in Atlanta overnight without giving us food vouchers or motel rooms. They said it was due to the weather and not their fault. That was a lie. We had a strong tailwind the whole entire way to Atlanta that only helped make up for the hour it took the one poor baggage handler to load the whole plane by himself. Any time you try to reach customer service, you are on hold for a minimum of 3 hours, but don’t waste your time, they will only make up excuses or lie to you. Worst flight experiences and worst customer service of all the airlines. Most unhappy employees too.

    Delta let me pay for a first class ticket, allowed me to check in and receive a first class ticket. And then at the last minute they bump me down to economy! No explanation!? No refund?! No credits! Just a run around and pass the buck with the explanation that need to call customer service. Wait time you ask? 4 hours!! And then I find out that’s a “great” wait time as it is usually 8 or more hours. What?!

    So I get to fly in the back at the price of a first class ticket and this is “normal” according to the gate attendant that tells me she can’t do anything to help me as this happens “all the time.” Come on Delta! Try harder. You’ve lost a customer for life. Even if they did offer a credit, what am I going to do with that? Get another overpriced ticket and get screwed over on that one as well? Good plan.

    Delta's customer service is non responsive and can take hours to connect with. The virtual log in system is unpredictable, difficult to access and unreliable. Getting clear information is virtually impossible. I have resorted to leaving 5 hours early for a morning flight so I can speak to a human, check in and access my boarding pass.

    Can you imagine a help line with a 7 - 9 HOUR wait? Delta either has a very serious problem with their reservation system or they really don't care to talk to their customers. Or, there maybe another issue at play. We made reservations using SkyMiles. After several days of not getting a confirmation number or ticket number we found that there was no record of our reservations. Trying the help line, as discussed above, was not an option. So we decided to rebook the very same flight. Imagine our surprise when the flight now cost more than twice the SkyMiles than the original reservation. So maybe the reason for the "lost" reservation was to be able to jack up the cost of the reservation?

Well Delta now says I need to pay another 60. To pick seats for our round trip. And said my issue is with expedia. However everyone sitting around my daughter will be the ones with issues now as they will either be sitting by someone clutching their stomach and crying or vomiting on them. But delta does not care and Expedia says they can refund My money and I can re book.

    Now we travel Saturday and I booked weeks ago. So the flights are even. Higher now. So good luck if you book with Delta and end up near my daughter. I can either afford to rebook or pay more to delta for seats. As I am fighting for disability and on top of that had a death in the family that requires me traveling tomorrow the day before the airplane flight from hell will be happening on delta if my daughter gets stressed.

    I don't usually make post like this but I am absolutely SICKENED by the service we have received from Delta Airlines today. Leaving our home at 1 am to make it to the airport in St Louis early for the flight, my mom was greeted with a 1.5 hr wait at the bag check and ticket desk. She didn't even make it to security. Once they FINALLY addressed the 50+ people waiting in line, it was to tell them all that after their hour and a half wait the plane(s) had left without them. They stranded 50+ people at the airport. And when they told my mom the lady at the counter scoffed at her as if it had been her fault!

    I spent 7 hrs on the road this morning having to go back to pick her up after their failure. After contacting the chat online I was transferred to two different agents who told me three different stories. (Yes you read that right.) Ultimately I was told I have to call in not use chat (after 2 hrs of chatting) and call in to receive a 4 hr wait time on hold! Stillll on hold. So here's one for you Delta Air Lines.

    Today because of your horrific customer service:

    My mother was disrespected in public by your rude employee.

    I lost $75 worth of gas.

    I lost $625 of potential income for the time I spent having to travel to and from unnecessarily due to your failure.

    I put just short of 500 miles on my car.

    My mother will not get to go see her first grandchild until we receive your "possible" refund in at the earliest 7 business days....too bad this week was the only time available in our family's schedule.

    So here's to you Delta. We will never fly with you again and will be sharing our story far and wide. You can bet on it! UPDATE: 4 hrs on hold and they closed for the night without answering my call. UPDATE: after holding another hour and a half this morning to delta. We found out the lady at the airport didn't refund the ticket! Also they will not make this right and said compensation is not due to us.

    My sister-in-law booked tickets through a third-party vendor at a discounted rate for our upcoming wedding. The ticketing agency did not follow through and book the tickets. She was not notified. I called the third-party agency who blamed Delta and claimed they had notified my sister-in-law which they did not. Further review on BBB website shows that this company does the same exact thing all the time.

    I spoke with a very kind representative at Delta whose name was Autumn but she could not help. I asked to speak with a supervisor just to see if they would be able to honor the price (current price was now double price from 2 days ago). Supervisor came on was quite rude from the get-go - laughing at me when I asked if there was anything they could do. I asked to speak to her supervisor because I did not like her tone or the way she was speaking to me. She refused. Told me "there is no one here who will speak with you. And you can call back tomorrow but I will add a note to your file that we will not be helping."

    Terrible customer service - I understand that the issue was on the third-party side but then Delta should not send out CONFIRMATION emails. If the flight is not confirmed, then don't say it is. And if your supervisors are that rude maybe it is time for some re-training so that they have a better understanding of compassion and empathy. Delta is a large company and I don't think standing by the discounted price FROM 2 DAYS AGO would have caused them significant financial burden, but the double price will certainly be a financial burden on my sister in law. Do better Delta.

I checked in my 2 bags, etc. The ** male agent sounds foreigner. I believe from Africa. I hear an accent. He gave me my check-in ticket and wrote gate F14 and explain to me how to get there. He was acting sort of strange. He was done with my checking and was walking pacing as if he was thinking so I asked him if he was done with me. He respond yes, so I asked for my passport and ID card. He's acting strange like not wanting to give it back. I sat there at the gate for 3hrs and 40min. and notice the screen never change to show Panama so I step over to the counter, talk to the female agent and ask if I am at the right gate number going to Panama city Panama. She said, "No ma'am. This was never the gate to Panama city Panama."

    I said, "OMG, now I'm going to be late to get there." Instead of her calling over to let them know I am on my way she never did. I'm sure they would have waited for me to board, just so I won't miss my flight. And she told me I have to go downstairs to take the train to E-15, and I had time to get there. Everyone was already on board. The only person I saw was a Officer and I told him what had happened. He said he was going to talk to them. I saw the plane sit there for 3min at least then backing up slowly. Then he returns with a female agent who was very unprofessional and rude not even caring. Blaming me instead of the ticketing person who wrote the wrong gate number. All of Delta's workers look out for one another. She just directed me to some help center. Said they'll have to rebook me.

    I feel Delta is irresponsible and misleading with information and not caring, hiring anyone without experience. Why do they hire these people that doesn't know a thing!! They gave me the wrong GATE # first of all. Had me missed my flight today then blame me on top of it. I paid lots of money for first class and ended up staying behind because of them leaving me behind and not getting to Panama on the date I wanted to be there, they could have use their intercom to call my name or someone should have known that I already checked in so I am there.

    Our trip began in Fargo ND on 2/12/22. After boarding the plane and waiting quite a while we were told to de board because of mechanical issues. Because of this we missed all our remaining flights and ended up waiting 4 hours until the plane was ready to fly again. We finally make it to Minneapolis MN and are forced to get a hotel for the night, which Delta did pay for after talking to 4 people. But they would not give meal vouchers or anything else to compensate for our lost time and money. We also had to pay for our own ride to and from the hotel. So it’s 5am the next day now and we go from MSP to ATL. We have to run to make our connecting flight and then deal with pretty unhelpful gate attendants. But nonetheless we make it on board, where after sitting for about 15 minutes we are told there is ANOTHER mechanical problem with the plane. So we sit and wait another hour before they finally get on and tell us to de board again…

    So I am now sitting in the ATL airport writing this review not knowing when I’ll ever reach my destination of San Juan PR.

I took my 1st leg no problem. Ready to board in Atlanta, going to LAX, and was asked over the pa to please come to the podium. I did and was told I needed to board immediately as an immobile person was being put next to me. They hurried me into the plane and surge enough they bring this guy, who reeked of **, and put him next to me. The flight attendants then upgraded 5 or 6 people to 1st class, the upgraded people started demanding stuff and that was the end. The guy next to me passed out upon takeoff. I couldn't have got out to use the restroom even if he was awake. I went the entire trip not being able to get up and use the restroom.

    I fell asleep and kept feeling something hurting my legs, I thought it was a backpack. When we landed and lights came on I realized he had taken off his prosthetic legs and threw them in my side. He had taken all of the space in the middle also. When we were waiting to get off plane in LA I asked flight attended to use the restroom. Which he told me I couldn't till they took him off. After approximately 3/4 of the plane got off they stopped it and took him off.

    First of all, maybe they should have given him his own row since it wasn't sold out, or, put someone who hadn't paid the fare with him. It was beyond annoying. I wrote to DELTA and was told they could offer me $150 giftcard. Seriously, for a $1,200 trip? Unbelievable! I don't want to switch to American Airlines, the only 2 that go out of my local airport, but I seriously feel they didn't give a hoot about my problem.

I gave them my confirmation number, they found it in their system, and they could not tell me why I could not board the plane. I ended up having to stay an extra night at a hotel nearby, then I tried calling Delta multiple times with no answer. I ended up having to pay over $2000 to get back home in addition of my original ticket. There are also a lot more issues to add to the laundry list but I will keep this brief.

    When I try to contact Delta on their corporate line I have not had any success to get through to a live agent. Multiple instances from contacting them they say there are higher than normal call times, then they say there is a five hour wait or longer, after being on hold for over an hour, their phone disconnects me every time. I try to take care of things online through the Delta website and send a formal complaint, and after waiting two weeks they did not respond.

    So I sent another complaint on their online portal, and they say it could be after 30 days before they respond to me. So I go on Facebook, and I chat online with Delta for over an hour, and they say sorry we cannot help me. They told me I would need to call their corporate line again. I called them again tonight, with a 3 1/2 hour hold time. I got disconnected again after about an hour. Super frustrating. I do not believe I will fly with them anytime soon.

    My connecting flight was canceled while I was still in flight. I begged EVERY Delta representative to please connect us asap as our son has seizures and is on seizure medication and is staying with our older daughter. We have to pick him up tonight as we sent only enough medication for today. He needs his dose tonight. They were polite but kept claiming unable to accommodate our life threatening situation. Maybe they are ignorant of how dangerous this can be? We didn't throw a fit. But kept telling them our son needs his next dose and pediatrician office is closed. We are so utterly disgusted.

    Thanks for your vote!
