My connection coming into Atlanta was late taking off. Plane sat on runway for over 25 minutes. Didn’t make my connecting flight in Atlanta. The boarding door was closed early due to the flight being overbooked. Over 7 hours in Atlanta airport with no compensation not even a food voucher. Will never fly Delta again. I feel our flight should be refunded due to overbooking and my seat given to another passenger. Rude Delta employees!

Wow, delay after delay, two trips in a row. Nothing we can do about it, no perks for inconvenience. They charge whatever they want and don't have to stick to their end of the bargain. Can't tell anyone when to pick us up at our destination, 'cause we don't know when we will get there anymore!

I was mislead on the application of the Platinum American Express, Delta card in that they did not honor the 90,000 bonus miles that went with the account after spending the required minimum spending amount by 90 days' time frame. There was no communication regarding any restrictions or requirements at time of application plus not only will they not honor the 90,000 bonus miles but they are now charging an immediate $350 annual fee of which there also was no mention of at the time of application. There is no benefit whatsoever to the customer here, a complete rip off and fraud.

I had a procedure done on my leg and needed to upgrade our seating arrangements so I could have more legroom flying to Hawaii. Because the reservation had gone through a third party, the third party wouldn't make any changes. When I called Delta Airlines directly and explained my situation, Jessica stayed on the phone with me for two hours trying to help resolve my situation. She was able to get our seats upgraded going to Hawaii. I appreciated her patience, understanding, and professionalism! There aren't enough words to express how positive this experience was for me! I will definitely recommend Delta Airlines as a carrier for flights. Thank you, Jessica! Thank you, Delta Airlines!

I was onboard a 7-hour flight from Madrid Spain to JFK Airport in New York. I fainted and injured my head and back on the way to the floor. The Purser, Kelley **, was very attentive to my needs.

CHECK-IN WITH SHERRI AT THE DELTA COUNTER WAS HORRENDOUS AND TERRIBLE!! TLDR: Sherri (Delta Agent) created an issue out of thin air, showed no understanding or urgency to resolve our mismatched name issue. Took over 2 hours to resolve an issue that really is not an issue as we have flown the same flights with the same documents 6 months ago!!
I would like to preface that my husband and I are not traveling for leisure but have booked an emergent flight from Orlando to Ho Chi Minh City due to rapid health declining of my father and time is of the essence. We are also flying with German passports. My husband and I, arrived to MCO airport at 06:30 AM to check in for our flight to Ho Chi Minh City (MCO ATL ICN SGN). We allotted 3 hours for check-in/TSA screening. Shortly after Sherri reviewed our passports, reservation, and Vietnam visas, she alerted us that we will not be able to travel today due to mismatched names on the passport, reservation, and visa. We asked her to resolve and change the names on the reservation to reflect our passports in the most efficient way, as traveling today is of the utmost importance. Sherri did not show any understanding nor sign of urgency. She continued to say that we cannot travel today without attempting to resolve the mismatched name issue at hand.
She then suggested she will write an e-mail to her ICN correspondence as she is concerned, we cannot connect with these mismatched names from ICN to SGN. WHO WRITES AN EMAIL ABOUT AN URGENT MATTER?? She proceeded to write an email without any urgency. We continue to explain to her that time is of the essence. We also voiced our confusion as we have traveled to Vietnam via ICN airport with the EXACT SAME passport, green card, and visa in June 2023 with no issues. She dismissed our concerns. My husband placed my daughter on speaker phone to speak with Sherri, but Sherri said: "I don't know why I need to speak to your daughter, the problem will not change".
Reluctantly she agreed to speak to my daughter. Following reciting the problem to her once more, my daughter asked her: "You are saying 'they' are advising you to tell my parents that they cannot fly today, but who is 'they'?" to which Sherri had no answer but proceeded to hang up the call on my husband's phone. This is disrespectful and creating more confusion and frustration. It has been nearly 90 minutes now, and we began getting concerned of missing today's flight. We realized that with new regulations, German citizens with German passports do not require a visa to enter Vietnam for a stay of less than 45 consecutive days. Both mine and my husband's return flight back have been booked (12 day stay).
When presented this information to her, she dismissed us. She is telling us to standby and wait for her to work, though her "work" seemed questionable. She continuously had to call a supervisor (?) asking for guidance on how to process a name change on the reservation. We believe she should have handed off this case to another agent who is more familiar with processing these claims, as she kept prolonging the process. Finally after 150 minutes, she has successfully resolved our mismatched names and was ready to send us off but then she stepped away to tell another traveler next to us that needed to unwrap their luggage due to an old small sticker still being stuck on their luggage. Her co-worker who was working with that traveler said that it was fine, and unwrapping was not necessary. She insistent on having said traveler still unwrap their luggage.
We do not understand why she did not focus on us as we are severely late and still having to move through TSA, and is using our limited valuable time on an issue that could/should have been resolved by her co-worker. Once we received our boarding pass and passport back, we asked if we could have someone expedite our TSA security check as we are NOT late due to our own tardiness (recall: we arrived at the airport 3h 15min prior to departure), but due to issues at the check-in counter are now late. Sherri made no effort to help us and responded with "No, have a nice day". We then had to wait in line to get through TSA (we do not have TSA Pre-Check), followed by running to our gate to make it as the last passengers boarding our flight to ATL. Our experience with Sherri was nothing but negative and unpleasant.

I booked direct with Delta Airlines last year, 2023. The trip is for May, 2024. I splurged for my 77 year old husband (Bucket List, to Belize) A first class trip for 2, $3300.00 each. Crazy I know but at our age this could be our last. I have just learned that this fare will not allow using the Delta Lounge between flights. They're reasoning is they are trying to control numbers in their lounges. I never dreamed that paying for first class would put us in that category. I would like others to know this and not be as shocked I am.

I normally do not love writing reviews like this, but seeing as I tried to go the right route and use the Delta app to share my concerns and no one helped me after multiple attempts of complaining. Our flight changed gates 20 minutes before boarding, boarding was delayed, and they are giving zero apology or remorse around the situation. Atlanta airport sucks in the first place anyway because everyone is so rude and will literally berate you in the security line, but I thought at least the airline would care because they are literally getting our money and not providing 5 star customer service. The fact that the boarding and now flight is delayed is absolutely deltas fault in my opinion.
I’m also tired of giving reviews to airports that don’t care or listen and continue to be okay with having a 1 star rating, so maybe the airline can send the message better. Care about ALL your customers. Care about our time, money, and mental health. That’s not much to ask when you are a business that has been around for centuries.

This has been a long nightmare. I am a regular passenger, always traveling in first class. On 03/06/2023, I was returning from Lima to Atlanta, and as usual, I requested assistance with a wheelchair. A person from the Unifi company picked me up from the gate and dropped me off at the Delta Sky Club in Terminal E. However, upon being dropped off, I noticed that he took my carryon (a Tumi Carry-on worth approximately $6,500 in personal items).
I realized this three minutes after he left, so I immediately went to the counter at the club and asked for help. They attempted to contact the individual and the company but despite my 3-hours connection, they did absolutely nothing. They provided me with information to start a case, which I did with Delta’s lost and found (report #**) and I followed all their instructions. I’ve only received emails with apologies, and they haven't found my carry-on. Since I didn’t register my carry-on as it was a personal item, Delta says they are not responsible.
I’m very upset. Every time I have called, they have told me different things and said I needed to go to various places, but they have given me no concrete information. The last call I made, they said that Delta keeps lost and found items for 1 year, but today 02/20/2024, they said after 3 months Delta sent all lost and found items to Alabama. Delta’s training of their people is lacking, and I have confirmed that the “Unifi” works directly with Delta Airlines.
I am here at the airport again, trying to get help, but once more, people are just telling me different things. In the end, the only conclusion is the guy who picked me up from the gate on 03/06/2023 stole my carry-on with all my personal items, not just the expensive Items but also other important things that were significant to me. The staff at the delta club were so incompetent; they didn’t do anything to assist me beyond trying to calm me down and wait for my next flight. This is unacceptable. I am a 68 years old woman who always spends thousands of dollars to travel in first class for safety, and Delta employees have stolen my luggage, I am tired of emailing and opening cases; this is UNACCEPTABLE I'm a member of Delta Sky but the service and the people are horrible.

I don't fly much and I have flown AA, Delta, and Frontier. I preferred Delta. I recently took a trip with my children and was advised by the guy at the baggage desk that I would be refunded my baggage fees if I applied for the skymiles card. I don't need a skymiles card, I rarely fly. I also am aware that my credit is not great and to be honest I have enough credit cards I didn't want anymore, however, the employee Daniel ** at the desk in Miami assured me that he could take my 2 large bags that are $30/each and take the carry on that I had which would be an extra $30 to just be convenient as I had children with me. He wrote his email down and told me just send him the screenshot where I applied whether approved or not and he would remove my baggage fee. I did that and still have a $90.00 baggage fee.
I contacted customer service and talked to 3 employees and managers and was advised they would not make this right and refund me based of a misinformed employee... a Misinformed DELTA EMPLOYEE. This alone will be the reason I never fly with delta again. Sad because the flight itself was absolutely great! Delta needs to hire better customer service employees!

When my recent flight out of Boston Logan was delayed getting to Salt Lake, the help desk provided hotel and meal vouchers, and when during this trip I was injured due to a employee not following the instructions of the help desk, Delta provided additional hotel and meal vouchers.

Even though I am a flying Blue GOLD member with priority access, I was profiled and discriminated upon by an airport supervisor in Calgary, who refused to attend to me after a flight cancellation, but was quick to assist a couple of ** folks who were on same flight with me. When I filed a complaint, Delta customer service were quick to defend their own and their image, rather than address the issue. Based on the report of the station manager who was nowhere around the scene when this happened, Delta was quick to dismiss my complaint and even went ahead praising the work ethics of the supervisor.

So I flew to Mexico on 01/07/2024 from JFK, New York, and when I arrived on vacation in Cancun, I got my luggage off the belt with my name on it and the tag. Same bag I traveled with. Took a $60 cab to the hotel, opened it, and it was full of baby clothes and medicine. I returned with another $60 cab to the airport, filed a claim, turned back on the 14th of that month, and got a call that it was there. Picked it up, opened it, and it was the same one that I sent from Cancun. Delta is asking me for original receipts. Are you freaking kidding me? Who in this world saves receipts? I have over $3000 worth of items in my luggage, and no, I have no receipts because who would have thought that you guys would steal or that your low-income, underpaid luggage team would. Someone, somewhere, stole my luggage while it was in your hands, and nothing is going to be done. I’m really, really upset and devastated. It totally messed up my trip.

The Delta Airlines customer service. 3D’s. Dysfunction and disinterest followed by dismissiveness. A corporate culture generally reserved for cattle. I’m in my 60’s and recently retired. Always figured I’d travel the World a bit and recently flew Delta in premium economy to Australia from Los Angeles. To start, I was eyeing an economy ticket at a little over $1,500 which seemed reasonable but everyone I talked to who’d been said the 16-hour trip was a killer and at 6’ 2” and way less bendy than I used to be, I’d be far better off in a premium economy seat. Those were almost $4,000, however. Anyway, after a lot of thought, I decided to get the premium seat by using nearly all the American Express miles I’d collected since becoming a member in 1984. It took 370,000 of them!
To cut to the chase. The outgoing flight was ok. It’s long but the seat was roomier and comfortable. The cabin attendants excellent. The food was a bit odd and came in flimsy brown cardboard, (I imagine recyclable) tubs. Those were challenging since it was a bit of a race to consume the food before the containers dissolved in your lap. The flight back, however, was an absolute nightmare. First, it was completely booked. Jam-packed. No issue there but the seat I was assigned was in terrible shape. Not only was it old, worn, and dirty. It was also defective. After takeoff, it only reclined after one of the attendants gave it a surprisingly vicious shove. This, however, appeared to upset it, and for the rest of the flight, it repeatedly extended the lower footrest by itself.
I’d tried the footrest option on the way out but, (clearly designed for much shorter people), it pushed my knees up into ear warmers. Anyway, this, now rogue device would slowly extend by itself, pinning the backs of my legs to the seat in front. I’d drift off a bit only to start dreaming I was being attacked by a saltwater crocodile. Jokes aside it was painful. No matter what the attendants tried to do, there was little I could do other than carefully extricate my legs, (think scrapes, chaffing and the auto removal of socks), then, with their encouragement, stamp it back into place.
Various suggestions were made to try and keep it from repeating its inexecrable extension to no avail. Wedging blankets, pillows, and even water bottles between it and the floor were all defeated. As a result, I spent most of the flight walking the aisle since there were apparently no other seats available at all. None. After 14 or so hours I’d have been happy sitting on a toilet, but they were all so busy as to suggest that would only add insult to injury. The purser (very nice) made a complaint on a tablet for me. At the same time letting me know that he was aware of my seat’s misbehavior and that several seats on that plane had already been flagged as having issues but none had yet to be serviced/replaced.
Ok so, again cutting to the chase. I heard nothing, so I complained online. I rapidly received a scripted, platitude laden auto response/apology and told that 5000 miles had been credited to my account. FIVE THOUSAND MILES. That’s less than one and a half percent of the mileage cost of the flight. Talk about a bone. Anyway, it felt like a slap in the face. A kiss off and so I wrote to them again. I basically explained and clarified this wasn’t about a malfunctioning ear bud. It was a serious issue that had me unable to sit, relax, snooze or sleep for ALMOST 14 HOURS.
This is what they (or more likely AI) wrote in response. “We do appreciate your persistence regarding this matter. As you requested, I have again reviewed the matter to see if I overlooked anything that might support a more favorable conclusion. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can add to what has already been stated in our previous correspondence. I am sorry we aren't able to resolve this matter to your satisfaction. Any further communication would not be productive and we will not respond again regarding this issue.”
Wow. Ok then, (Baa/Moo). I’ll just limp back to my pen/corral. My conclusion? Don’t fly Delta. It sucks. As does their corporate, kleptocratic culture of profiteering. A wretched, avaricious pursuit of profit. Free of any sense of culpability, common sense or decency. Money over literally everything, anything and very sadly, anyone. We are cattle to them, plain and simple. Any ideas/suggestions as to what to do next?

We purchased changeable tickets in Jan. 2023. We had change in plans and had to postpone flying. We were issued an e-credit that Expires 1/30/2024. Notification from Delta said trip had to be Booked by that date. When contacting Delta we were informed not transferable and trip had to be Completed, not Booked, by 1/30/24. When booking the original flight there was no stipulations (transferable and exp date) noted. When speaking with Delta supervisor I learned e-credit might be transferable depending on who purchased original ticket AND trip would have to be completed by 1/30/24 if domestic, but if international flight the trip only had to be originated by that date.
These many stipulations are nowhere to be found on Delta website. It seems rules are made up as they go…. Poor business practices are endless with this company.

Flight from Atlanta to Milwaukee while sitting on my flight before take off. A cockroach ran across the seat next to me and ran across my coat that was laying on my lap. Initially I thought it was a spider because it was moving so quickly. I turned on my phone to video the gentleman next to me kill it. Absolutely disgusting. I reported this to customer affairs. The response was brief and unapologetic, never once asked for the video. Delta Air Lines' cleanliness and customer service is going down faster than a pro skier at the US open. Ever since they were awarded contracts they show less and less concern for their customers.
On several Delta flights they offered cups of water to customer,,,”cups” ,,,like there was a water shortage. Not a small bottle. A cup.

I’m a longtime medallion member and reserve card holder. Delta completely screwed up my travel and offered me crumbs as a resolution. Firstly, a maintenance delay caused an extra 3 1/2 hour layover which caused me to miss my connecting international flight. I spent those three hours on the phone with DELTA. Looking for a new flight. They had to send me to another airport I had to wait again and then to London where I had a 12 hour layover, London doesn’t have a Delta lounge so I had to pay to stay in the Virgin lounge. Then I had to fly economy, down from first, from London to my final destination. Then my luggage was lost, and I went a day and a half without my bags not to mention all these delays and layovers caused me to miss an entire day and a half with my family who I was visiting. So I spent over three days about 10 hours on the website using the messaging service to try and extend my stay to make up for last time.
DELTA’s messaging service is completely useless, long delays representatives, leaving and sending you to different representatives, chat crashing and having to start all over, etc. Needless to say, I was unable to extend my stay. Then Delta changed my return flight and gave me a 13 hour overnight layover in Atlanta. The lounges close at 10:30 PM so from 10:30 PM till 6:30 AM. I had to sit in a terminal or sleep on a bench. All this and Delta offered me a $250 flight credit.... I will never use Delta again, even if it cost me more.

I have been a loyal Delta customer, often traveling with my husband who holds Silver and Platinum status. However, my recent experience on flight DL1667 has left me deeply disappointed. Despite being a frequent flyer, I encountered a distressing incident involving flight attendant Fatima, who seemed to selectively target my AWAY carry-on for checking. Her abrupt and rude response to my genuine confusion over the matter raised concerns about the abuse of power. Recording the encounter, I was shocked by the lack of consistency in the responses from Lead Flight Attendant Nikki and Fatima. The subsequent request to leave the plane by an unnamed woman, without explanation or courtesy, added to the distress. Seeking guidance from Delta customer service, the captain's involvement resulted in my removal from the flight based on Fatima's claim of feeling unsafe with me on board.
This incident, triggered by a simple issue of how my carry-on was placed, calls into question the professionalism and judgment of Delta's staff. The subsequent delay and inconvenience of being rebooked on a later flight only deepened my disappointment. As someone who has positively contributed to Delta's image through influencer content, I cannot help but wonder if my experience would have been different if I were of a different race. In conclusion, I am compelled to share this experience to caution fellow passengers about the potential misuse of authority by Delta staff. While I have cherished previous experiences with Delta, this incident has left me contemplating a shift to another airline. I believe passengers should not face removal over trivial matters, and I hope Delta takes steps to address such concerns for the well-being of its customers.

We spoke with Korean Air representative on the phone and they, too, were concerned about this issue. I emailed with Delta (which I kept) about this situation but all I get was a cold shoulder in the end when asked about compensation for accommodation and flight cost.
We flew on United and EVA which they were understanding to our situation that we got new flight booked the next day. Please help us about this situation because it became a financial burden to us now. We felt Delta Airlines don’t take us seriously about this and brush this off. Never want to deal with them. I emailed DOT about this too.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

I am so disappointed with your new Sky Miles policy! With my new job, I was so excited to maintain and grow my Gold Medallion Sky Priority staus. Now you have made it nearly impossible to do so, since I am required to book my business flights with a company credit card. My miles flown really don't count anymore?!! . So much for rewarding customer loyalty. Every flight going forward will be a slap in the face as I continue to book business flights, watch my miles build, but then also watch my staus disappear. Absolutely horrible. Might as well book with Southwest and save the company some money on most flights. Oh, and I don't care at all about the stupid Sky Clubs. I just want to be able to build my access to the other perks, which I deserve if I continue to fly with you for my many upcoming business trips!

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. You can keep my Diamond card. After all, they’re inconsistent, but at least they’re rude.

We arrived to find that the doors had just shut…ughhhh that feeling of travel upset was overwhelming. We were tired and exhausted and just wanted to arrive home. The next flight out was in the morning and we would not have arrived home until 4pm on Thursday.
We waved at the pilot in extreme hopes we would be allowed on the flight. We arrived at the gate at 8:44 for a departure of 8:45. He was the absolute answer to our traveling prayers! The pilot motioned that he saw us and he allowed them to open up the gate to let us on!! Thank you thank you thank you!! We enjoy flying Delta and do often! This would be the reason why!! So appreciated. Thanks again for helping these tired traveling customers out!!

The Delta App makes researching, booking, and checking in a breeze! I especially love how it gives the option to view flexible dates when researching flights!! 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.

I am beyond with this airline, they are the most unprofessional ignorant company. 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. This has cost us thousands in flights and hotels due to the terrible staff with Delta/WestJet Airlines. I will make it my mission in life to make it well known what a terrible airline they are!!!

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.

Our outbound flight to Jackson was so significantly delayed, due to maintenance, that we missed our connection to St. Paul MN and there were no additional ways to get to Jackson that day. 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.

I traveled round trip to Canada and had to purchase a lay over flight because there was no flexibility for direct flights with decent arrival times. I had delays on BOTH trips (on 8/3 and 8/13). 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.

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!!!

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???

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. They were once among the best, but that is not longer the case.

Delta delayed my flight 5 times and changed the hat 3 times before cancelling the entire flight. Delta emailed me vouchers for food, hotel and transportation that were not valid and had expired within ten minutes of receiving the email. I spent 4 ish hours in lines trying to rebook my flight. I was finally able to rebook my flight and it was delayed. I spent a total of 28 hours in the Atlanta airport with hundreds of people sleeping all over the airport. No management at Delta tried to help anyone that I could see. Many Delta employees tried to help but without backup from management they were unable to anything to help myself and most of the other travelers. My future travels will never be in Delta Airlines.

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.

Delta is supposed to be the best airline out there. Not by a mile. I have actually been treated better by United. I joined Delta's mileage program and they bumped me to Gold because that was my status with United. After 3 months, two international flights to Europe and multiple domestic trips across the US, they downgraded me to Silver. During those 3 months I have given them a lot of business and they treat me like crap. I am going back to United come next year. This people have no mercy.

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.

I.e. stranded for two days to go an additional 2 hours of distance worth of a drive, no hotel accommodations and told that if we had complaints to talk to Customer Care. Some of us found car rentals but at a charge of $400 because of one-way fees - which Delta said they would not reimburse for. This is just one leg of the trip.

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.

I asked why that wasn't disclosed during purchase of the flights and charged at that time, and I was told it happens later and is billed at a different time. I have never heard of this practice. Now I am paying an extra $39.99 on top of the original flight price just to have the same exact seats that I had already paid for.

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!!!

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.

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. POOR POOR customer service for a MAJOR flight issue that was completely their fault.

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.

Delta has allowed an individual to use my email address to send notifications such as flights, with included Times, Flight Numbers, Destinations, SkyMiles Numbers to my email address. This should be a security incident. I've attempted to call and resolve this for a year by proving my identity with a scanned driver's license yet they still allow updates to flood my inbox. My own travel itineraries and communications get mixed with all the emails that do not belong to me and I receive delayed flight information while I'm on travel which causes distress and confusion. Their repeated response is they cannot remove my email from anyone's account even though I have validated that my firstname.lastname email is myself and that the names on the accounts using my email are not me.

Just had a recent flight with Delta. On the trip home I missed the flight. Called within 4 hours and they charged me for two tickets. Went to the agent at the airport and she said it happens all the time and they should not have charged me. Said if I would have came in and not called there would have been no charges. The agent told me she could not believe they charged me and to call for a refund. I called and they said absolutely not. I will never fly Delta again. My company has 2,500 traveling employees and they are not booking Delta again. They pretty much used delta exclusively.

I am appalled by how terrible the customer service at Delta is. No human answers the phone, there is no way to talk to a representative. On the chat, the rep answers every half an hour to my questions and he doesn't even answer the right question. Terrible.

As I was trying to start preparing for my son's flight you must keep in mind he is mildly autistic I had always used Delta Air Lines because they had been exceptional in the past but this one was not so great. I won't use them again. Right from the start there was problems with communication. The agent did not want to look at different dates. There was also problems with his English so it was hard to understanding him. It takes me two and a half hours to get to the airport and I'm sitting here and just I'm learning that the airline is running a hour late which will be putting me an hour late getting back home. I'm very dissatisfied with their service and it will probably be the last time I use their services.

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.

Flight was delayed over 2 hours waiting on a pilot. Was notified by Delta of this issue 7 hours before take off making me lose a day of meetings. United may lack some amenities or charge for some, but haven’t had the issues I have had with Delta. Avoid this 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. But Delta is now just more of the same American garbage.

This airline is inconsistent with its customer service. It's a hit or miss in my opinion. My last interaction was in March and the boarding crew forced me to check in my carry on along with several other customers, despite the fact that my ticket included a carry on luggage. The worst part is that their incompetent baggage handlers damaged my suitcase. I reached out to Delta and they didn't provide a satisfactory resolution to replace my suitcase. BUT once I got BBB on them through the Lord's wisdom they came correct and offered me a replacement through their site! If you have issues with Delta make complaints with BBB so they can be held accountable!

Horrible airline! Purchase 2 tickets together and they split up the family and they don't care. The agents at San Antonio were rude and made comments like "you aren't that far apart" so the gate agent didn't find it important to help a family together. 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. Pretty sad seeing as it was always my preferred airline but I guess they do not care about customers especially after they have made plenty of money off of them.
