    I called Delta's customer service at 10:52 am and I did not receive a call back until 4:39. I’m a loyal and frequent delta flyer as well as a gold card member. Waiting 6 hours for a call back is bad customer service and a Bad customer experience. I ended up booking a flight with another airline due to this which is unfortunate because prior to this bad experience delta was my favorite airline to fly.

    I had booked a flight in December to fly in April. I called Delta Airlines a few days before our flight to find out about Covid restrictions. I was told, "We first need to check your flight. Oh it's overbooked and you will have to fly out on the 14th instead of our booked day of the 10th." I told the lady, "No we are flying out on the 10th." "I'm sorry but they have overbooked that flight," was her response. I was floored. I again told her, "We are flying out on the 10th, we had taken time off work and were going to visit a brand new grandchild." She said, "Well we can get you on that flight still but it will cost you 43 dollars per person." Are you flipping kidding me??

    I paid it because I wasn't about to not go. But am very disappointed that I had to pay 86 more to fly when I had already paid my full airfare months in advance because the airline overbooked. Then was told we had to get a negative Covid test prior to our flight. We scurried to complete that just in time to find out we did not need it at all. Not happy with the service I received at all. Seems like some kind of extortion To me. Will not be flying Delta again anytime soon.

    Their phone support wait times are constantly over 2 hours and they don't even offer to keep your place in line and call you back when your turn is up for cancelling a flight. The flight I purchased could not be canceled online. The eCredits I had from before would never even display when I logged in to their website, I had to get a customer rep to manually make those work for me. Tried chat help through mobile app, but it timed out as I was waiting and I lost my place in line.

    Tried to reach out via Twitter and had a mixed response. Supposedly someone actually did cancel my flight, but I never got a confirmation email or any confirmation of a refund. After a 5-10 minute wait I got one response on Facebook where they apologized for a delay getting my message. After that I was ignored for another 10+ minutes, during which I created my ConsumerAffairs account and created this review. Still no confirmation email regarding the flight being canceled or any correspondence about the refund that I should be getting from canceling the day after buying tickets. Delta claims I get a full refund as long as the flight is canceled before midnight the following night and I fell within that. Have spent over 2 hours trying to go through this process so far.

    Delta intentionally doesn’t staff the desks at the gate so that they don’t have to take complaints. I have been on 3 different trips with Delta since January and whenever someone shows up at the gate desk they immediately get a hoard of people with heavy complaints and the person at the desk just says, "I’m sorry, I can’t help you." Delta does their best to ignore their customers and not provide answers. Stay away from them as they blame all of the issues on some policy that actually doesn’t exist but isn’t their fault.

    We have established a dream vacation in Hawaii Honolulu on 04/02/2021. The company I chose to fly with was Delta airline, everything was OK until the flight to LA was an unpleasant experience because of the masks. During the flight, the mask I was wearing went under my nose, and then the stewardess remarked to me to lift the mask, I was warned 3 times until she came and said it was the last advertisement.

    I wore the mask correctly. I would like to mention that I had in my arms my baby 1 year old who was pulling my mask. When I arrived in Los Angeles, someone from the Delta manager was waiting for me at the gate, when he said he wanted to talk to me about the situation. I explained everything to him but they decided to cancel my flight to Honolulu and back to Atlanta. Not to mention that I had a one-year-old baby with me and the 3 older children who dreamed of arriving in Hawaii, where the Delta airline ruined my entire vacation and that of my family.

    I had to stay in Los Angeles with the whole family, two nights while I got a call from delta airline as the whole reservation was canceled because I didn't wear the mask properly. We made other reservations with other flight companies and finally on 04/04/2021 I arrived in Honolulu. I do not recommend you to travel with the delta ever, I will give up traveling with the delta again for bad ugly behavior and attitudes that are not accepted.

    I flew exclusively with Delta any time I needed to fly over the past year or so during the pandemic. I've had great experiences with Delta in the past, but they were the only major airline I was aware of still not seating anyone in the middle. That was a huge concern for me and I paid higher fares for those flights just for that added safety and peace of mind. The app is also super easy to use compared to other airlines. Great overall.

    Delta’s customer service during the COVID-19 pandemic was phenomenal. Yes, they experienced high call volumes and initially had ridiculously long wait times. But they implemented an email submission system that was far more efficient for customers like myself. Moreover, they willingly offered a future credit, without my prompting, when my flight was delayed and I contacted them. I also had their credit card up until about a year ago. I was very impressed with their points system and incentives.

    Simply put, I absolutely love Delta Airlines. Why? Because they make my safety and health their number one priority. In fact, I’ve only flown Delta since the pandemic began due to the fact that they’ve implemented their Delta Care Standard, which includes using refreshed fresh, outside air and air via high-grade HEPA filters inside the plane. I’ve tried to explain this process to both friends and family members, in addition to sharing their video, but they’re still under the impression that planes are using recycled air, and as such, they are afraid to travel via airplane. Thank you for all that you do to keep your passengers safe and healthy. Subsequently, it really meant a lot to me when I wrote Delta previously and received a response on behalf of Ed Bastian, Delta Air Lines CEO. Once again, I am your number one customer and I promise to encourage others to fly Delta as well.

    I want to warn other people about Delta’s penalty for customers purchasing a round-trip domestic ticket and highly encourage two one-way domestic tickets instead. There is no financial benefit to purchasing a round-trip ticket, it is simply the sum of 2 one-way tickets. There is a great penalty for having booked a round-trip with delta... if you want to make a change to one segment of your trip, Delta will re-price both portions of the ticket and charge you their current increase in price. For example, say you bought a round-trip ticket for $200 (each one-way priced at $100) and you later want to cancel the return flight. In order to do this, Delta will re-price the departure flight to today’s price (even though you’re not changing that segment) and charge you accordingly. Let’s say that new one-way departure flight is $220. Delta will tell you that you OWE them money to change to a one-way ticket.

    Had you booked 2 one-way tickets, you could cancel the return and hold on to a voucher for $100. Even if you wanted to just change a portion of your flight, you will be much better off having two separate tickets. That way you won’t be penalized with two increases of fare just to change one segment. Delta claims to be like other airlines with a no change fee, but they clearly still have predatory pricing policies in place to beef up their profits. Huge difference. Please always book 2 one-way tickets if you must fly Delta! I hope this helps someone not get caught like I did.

I am not sure how this is accurate as the previous connecting flight upgraded and is the one who gave me the information...

    I’ve been a Delta Reserve card member for 12 years and this is going to be my last flight with Delta after the lack of professionalism shown. No remorse, no empathy, no trust, and no honor with what was said. The agent said she could call a “red coat” over to assist and after discussion the situation with the red coat she told me she would not upgrade. I asked if she was choosing not to or if she couldn’t and she wouldn’t answer me. Upon boarding I took a picture of all the available open seats in Comfort and 1st class (over 20 in total). Gate 29 (2/1/202) 2100 gate/ticketing in agents = the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I recommend they read “kick ** customer service” because they need help and just lost a lot of business.

    Before taking off the pilot came to my aisle to ask if everything was going to be alright. After explaining the situation he then told me to follow up with a review. He understood what happened and I do feel bad if I “scared the front desk agent,” but unfortunately I think Deandra was just bitter and told the crew I was a “flight risk.”

    I want to reiterate that the crew was very pleasant, but the ticketing staff needs to retrained and replaced. That was the worst customer service and community of care I have ever received from a service industry. With the pandemic I am sure they can find much better agents to represent Delta. The ones I worked with at 29A were awful.

However, this next flight I am taking my dog and I am being charged a total of $310 round trip for him to go. He is a 9 lb dog, not a big dog. In addition to being charged $125 one way to fly him, he is also considered my carry-on, so I have to check my small suitcase and pay $30 for that also. So...$155 to fly with him one way, $310 total.

    I had a great experience with delta on Friday the 19th. My 18 year old son was flying to Italy alone. When he left the Salt Lake City airport he was negative for Covid. For some reason when he got to Atlanta, he tested positive. That meant he couldn't go forward and couldn't come home. It was his first time away from home and he had a complete meltdown. My son comes from a town with 600 people in Idaho and knows nothing. He called home crying so hard he could hardly speak. Long story short.... Mia ** one of your agents at the Atlanta airport got on the phone with me and took care of my son! She made sure he had another covid test, a hotel, an uber AND put him on another flight.

    Delta Airlines is advertised as the safest airline in the COVID-19 days. They may do some extra cleaning but they are not enforcing people wearing masks over their mouth and noses, and leaving it up to passengers to alert them to violations. "Oh I did not see that," the flight attendant said. You only passed this couple 10 times and you did not see it? "Oh, but he is eating," another one said. Does one have to eat on a 50 min flight?

    I have been a Sky Miles member and flown exclusively with delta for years. Never again. 6 months ago I booked with them to fly to Mexico for a wedding. My flight was canceled by them less than 10 hrs before I was to take off. Called them and the said due to weather, they canceled all flights and the soonest I could rebook was 2 days later, where it would’ve been too late.

    So I said go ahead and cancel it. I find out after it was nearly impossible to rebook with another airline for anything reasonable (prices all $700+ for one way) I also notice delta clearly has flights for that night and the following day. So I call them back. They said due to changes, they reinstated the flight. Cool, so they can just rebook me, right? Nope. It was already considered a cancellation, so even thought I bought my original ticket 6 months ago for about $150 one way, I would now have to pay the new last-minute price of $879. TLDR: they canceled my flight, then when it was reinstated, told me I had to rebuy it at their new price. Bye Delta. Never flying with you again

    In February 2020, I flew Delta knowing I had a medical bag I had to bring with me while I couldn't check my other regular bag. I was flying with a big group of people, and checking bags wasn't an option. So, I called the customer service line to ensure that my medical bag wouldn't count as my checked bag. When I boarded the plane, the lady scanning tickets was extremely rude about my extra bag and made me feel guilty for having an extra bag for medical equipment. I cannot travel without this extra bag, so it's impossible to negotiate. I informed her that I called customer service and they said my medical bag doesn't count as my carry on. She was very rude and seemed extremely annoyed about it. I was very frustrated with the situation and disappointed in Delta.

    Now, here I am again in October 2020 facing a similar issue. I decided to call customer service again to ensure medical bag policies haven't changed due to COVID. The gentleman that I spoke with was beyond helpful. He went ahead and made a note in my account that I have to bring this extra medical bag, so I wouldn't face any troubles at the gate. Furthermore, because of my medical condition, he went ahead and reserved me a safer seat on the airplane for my travels. He was extremely kind and understanding. He gained my trust and respect back for Delta. I wish I would've gotten his name so he could be recognized. I really appreciated his generosity and willingness to make me comfortable, safe, and happy. I'm a satisfied Delta customer once again.

    Had flights to Japan (For Honeymoon 6/26/2020). Obviously, we can't fly to Japan because of Covid-19. Travel ban is in place, but Delta wouldn't cancel the flight. Luckily, they made changes to our flights that significantly altered our travel plans, which allowed us to cancel without penalty, per their policies. We went to cancel our flights and made sure if we chose to receive our cash, instead of an E-credit, that we would not be penalized a cancellation fee. I took screenshots of the cancellation page, showing no cancellation fees and a full cash refund to our bank account. So, as you can imagine, the moment we submitted the cancellation of our flights we received an email showing we had been hit with $700s in cancellation fees. Immediately, we got on the phones to remedy this. This was on April 28, 2020.

    Now, after 4-5 calls, where we are told each time that we are going to get our money back and that this was an error, but to wait 30 business days before calling again, which we have done twice, we have not received any communication nor refund. Today, 90 days later, we called in only to find out that now, during all of this, you cannot reach the refund department on the weekends (recent change). So, we can't get refunded because they need to final review, but they cut back on labor and hours attributable to Refunds.

    90 days is more than ample time to review and refund money for a situation that their employees (and policies) told us is a sure thing and that we will 100% receive a refund for the cancellation fees (multiple individuals on separate calls). This is starting to feel like theft. Just to be clear, this is not about the flight refund, we have received a refund, but only a partial amount. We were penalized for the cancellation of our flight, despite being told we wouldn't be and being told later on we shouldn't have been either. They have not fixed it yet, 90 days later.

When we went to the airport in Puerto Vallarta, to return back to Los Angeles, the Delta counter informed us that we were no longer allowed on Delta but could not tell us why. We spent 6 hours getting ready for departure, tax to airport, waiting at airport to find out that the gate people at Delta could only tell us that we were not allowed on the flight but not why and to call corporate, which we did and got nowhere because it disconnected after being on the phone for 2 hours and then later, Delta said, "You have called too many times and if you call again, you will be barred from Delta for life." All they could come up with was that we did not wear our mask from LAX to Puerto Vallarta but we did, we had on our face during the flight and no-one ever approached us saying anything.

    We never received an email from Delta telling us that our return flight was cancelled and don't bother going to the airport in Puerto Vallarta because we won't let you on. They also claimed later that after I called from the airport, they sent another email and said to check my spam, which of course I had done multiple times and no email ever. We had to buy another flight home on American and spend money for 2 hotel nights. I asked for this report of details about this flight from LAX to Puerto Vallarta and was it a flight attendant or passenger because this has to be mistaken identity and they said if I continue to ask the same question for the details, they will put us on the list for our lifetime.

    My husband and I had purchased tickets to fly out of Houston to Paris July 10th, we received an email simply stating that our flight was cancelled- they did not call us or make any attempt to rebook us even though there was another flight the same day available on their website. So we called and got ourselves rebooked on that flight, two weeks later France announced that they are not opening borders to Americans due to COVID19 so we were forced to cancel that flight and they refused to refund us fully, charging $350 per ticket for a cancellation that was completely no fault of our own.

    We called to ask for a full refund and they simply refused because the flight itself was not cancelled even though we would have not been able to legally enter the country of the destination. Ethically, they should waive all cancellation fees when the cancellation is a direct result of the pandemic and not the choice of the customer. When asking for a credit to use on a future flight instead, they again refused saying that they had already issued a partial refund. Absolutely unfair and no help at all.

    In February of 2020 we purchased tickets for travel to Mexico in May. We had a different airline also involved in this trip. The flights to our destination were cancelled due to the Covid 19 epidemic, and the other airlines involved had no problem in replacing the points we had used to book this trip. So, when the trip was booked, it said Delta Airlines, then once the reservations were made, it came back that the flights were on AeroMexico a partner of Delta Airlines. We have contacted the booking company, Capital One travel, which they have been most helpful, but they have mentioned that the refund needs to come from Delta, however, when I go to Delta's website to cancel, it won't allow me to do so.

    In speaking with a Delta rep, I am told we have until February 2021 to rebook, however, this isn't possible due to allotted vacation time that we have. I have spent countless number of hours on the phone, have filed a complaint with Delta, but just find this entire experience overwhelming! Even if they allowed us to book at a later date after February 2021, that might work, but we would prefer to just have the points put back on our card. We didn't have a choice in choosing this Covid 19 epidemic, but I would think we should have a choice in when we can travel next.

    I will give a shout out to Alaska Air, who was more than gracious to put our points back, no questions asked, but this was the flight going to Mexico that was cancelled. How is it that Delta expects us to fly back when we don't even have a flight there?? We are waiting to hear back from them, but from what we have been told by a Delta Rep, it doesn't look promising. This entire ordeal has us just baffled and upset.

    On Thursday, April 23, 2020 I flew on Delta fly DL1306 with my 82 year old dad. He had a very hard time walking from parking garage to ticket counter. As soon as we entered the ticket area I told him to sit on the bench. I appeared to be the only Delta customer and I went straight up to counter where 3 Male service reps were. I checked in with both my dad's and my ID. The rep offered me a wheelchair for my dad. I had already registered for wheelchair assistance online. I turned to look toward my dad and another rep had him in a wheelchair and pushing him in my direction. I exclaimed HOW NICE!.

    The rep waiting on me said GET YOUR TIP OUT!. I didn't understand why he would say that. I am a great tipper, btw. All the reps laughed. I approached my dad and his rep and I guess because I didn't have a wad of cash in my hand the rep walked off. I had my hands full and no idea how to operate the chair. The rep yelled from afar, "YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE LATCH IN WHILE PUSHING."

    We arrived in Salt Lake City but had a connecting flight. This time a Delta rep was waiting AT THE PLANE with a chair. This rep pushed my dad all the way to our connecting flight BUT my dad needed the restroom first. The rep dropped my dad off at our gate, pointed back down the hall we just came from, telling us the restrooms were back that way. He then TOOK THE CHAIR AWAY. My 82 year old dad had to limp slowly back down the hall; it was far enough away that I could to actually SEE the restroom signs until we were about 4 gates and shops away. Of course, he then had to also walk all the way back, negating the assistance altogether.

    We arrived in Seattle. Wheelchair was waiting in the waiting area. This rep assisted us all the way to rental car, which was in another building!! So sweet and polite. Tip was $10. Clearly DELTA doesn't have a set standard organizational wide and each rep has their own set of policies. I did tip these reps but I regret tipping the one in Salt Lake.

    Delta is refusing to cancel a flight to Japan which has banned us travelers. Delta is doing this to subvert the DOT ruling on refunds for cancelled flights. Delta is issuing E-Credits which can be used later however will most likely raise prices on future flights forcing passengers to pay more for the same flights they originally had and would have taken. Delta is practicing malicious behavior towards US Passengers. Airlines are being bailed out, I am not! Delta should be forced to give a full refund to international travelers who have flights scheduled within a 2-3 month period while the pandemic is active and travel bans are in place. If Delta does not refund these types of passengers a class action lawsuit should be considered on behalf of USA Passengers.

    At the very least Delta should not issue credits but A voucher that guarantees the same seat and flight times if the passengers are choosing to fly to the same destinations at a later day. This would ensure that the passengers are not going to be taken advantage of and forced to pay more simply because Delta wanted to be unethical in how they handle their passengers during this crisis. Passengers should consider visiting the Department of Transportation, Better Business Bureau, Trip Advisor and every other review sites to file complaints.

    Pretty sad that other companies have refunded a few friends of mine that were supposed to be traveling. Even Allegiance refunded one of my friends. Delta is a very well known airline, you’d think they’d care a little more about their customers instead of trying to hoard the money.

My wife became very sick with a nasty sinus infection and as the Corona-Virus was in full swing many people began cancelling trips. I am close to 70 years old and felt it was not a good idea for my sick wife or myself to travel at this time. This was an unusual experience as I am sure it was for everybody. Our flight down to Nashville was with Jetblue. They immediately refunded our money with no problem.

    When calling Delta it took 2 hours of waiting time to get through and a ridiculous battle to get them to refund our money. They fought me every inch of the way. They beat me down to a point that I finally took what they offered which was 100 buck per ticket which was a total of a 200 dollar loss. We felt that under these condition they would simply refund our money our of good faith. I will never fly Delta and would NOT recommend to anybody to use them. Remember my wife was very sick and the Corona-Virus was in full swing. Seems like it would have simply been the right thing to do.

    There were 0 flight options available to get us to Idaho Falls that fit our schedule. She gave us 2 $150 vouchers as if that would help. We rented a car and drove the 3 hours to Idaho Falls. The return trip was much smoother. I spoke with the customer service complaints and was refunded for the portion of the flight we were bumped from, received $200 in gift cards for other businesses and was refunded the extra cost of the car.

    Immediately upon sitting in our assigned seats which were located in front of the seats with the emergency exits we noticed the seats backs were positioned in a straight up position. The backs of the seats were curved so our upper backs curved into them. The head rests pushed our heads forward so that our backs were in a C shaped position and our heads hung forward. After takeoff we discovered that nothing about the seats were adjustable. They were fixed in that position for the entire site. The position we were in was not just uncomfortable but very painful both to my neck and back as well as to that of my companion.

    I requested a seat change because there was a vacant seat available across and up from us. This seat was extremely comfortable. I do not feel the originally assigned seat was safe in the event of an emergency and was definitely not designed correctly. They should be removed.

(I love flying Delta and have yet to have a less than stellar experience). My husband called three times to verify all the things needed to be done for our dog prior to our flight. We spent $300 for a pre-flight vet check, as well as purchasing a kennel ($109) that met the airline’s specifications. We were told to have him to Delta Cargo four hours before the scheduled flight. Upon arrival, the temperature was 19 degrees. We were told they wouldn’t take him unless the temperature was 20 degrees, even with the required documented pet variance. We had to leave our dog with our daughter, hoping to fly him the following day.

    My husband again called Delta Cargo and whomever he spoke to said there shouldn’t be a problem getting him on a flight with the temperature above 20 degrees. Again, my daughter took him to Delta Cargo two days later and was turned away because his kennel was too small (the one we specifically bought for the airline’s specifications). They even told her Delta doesn’t fly large dogs anymore!! After speaking with Delta four times prior to this, why didn’t they even mention this!?! Save yourself a huge amount of stress and money! Don’t even consider Delta for flying your pet!

    My flight from Las Vegas was late. Delta auto changed my flight assuming I would miss the connection. The app said D32. We were in A terminal in Atlanta. We ran through airport, caught train and ran to D32. Wrong gate. The attendant, Dan, was quite rude. He would not let me finish a sentence & kept repeating "It is what it is. Go down the hall and get help". Followed by interruptions to say "go on now". The app now shows my original gate with the new time. The help desk said D32, the app says c. We went to C thinking it had changed again. No, it has the original gate with the new flight at D32. When I approached Dan about the confusion he rolled his eyes, sighed and said, "did you talk to who I told you to talk to?" I was sent back to the help desk.

    I am a Skymiles member and have flown for almost 20 years. The Delta app caused me to miss my flight, make me wait 4 more hours in the Atlanta airport, and the desk attendant was unprofessional and rude. A person commented "If he doesn't like his job he should do something else". We did not deserve any of this. I should be home already.

    The exit light fiasco. To start my wife and I require assistance to get to boarding gates at airports due to her knees and my COPD. Last year we flew Delta through FLL and found a very irritable Delta staff at D8 gate. We arrived at the gate in wheelchairs and decided to give them up and walk down the ramp to board the aircraft. When pre-boarding began we started down the ramp and was stopped by one of the staff and were refused preboarding because we did not have wheelchairs. This January 26th we were sent to gate D6 to board and the same group of staff were working that corner of the terminal so we knew better than give up our wheelchairs. Delta had put two departing flights in that corner of the terminal that would both board and leave at the same time.

    When it got close to boarding time naturally both gates filled with passengers to a point where both arriving flights had problems offloading. The staff lined up 18 wheelchairs at our gate including my wife and I. The mob of people was crazy and in a hurry to board as if it was first come first serve boarding. Our gate announced that there would be a 3-hour delay and our new flight time would be 4:00 PM. Delta needed a part for the plane and would have to be flown in from Atlanta to be installed. We along with 200 other passengers inquired about our connecting flights in Atlanta where we were flying too and where the part was coming from. Some were found other flights and some like us had to wait and were given alternate connections.

    At 4:00 we boarded the plane and the "EXIT" sign was installed. Then the crew happened to remember after 3 hours that some of the luggage had to come off of the plane and be sent to other planes which passengers had been given. So for 30 minutes more they unloaded all the luggage, sorted out the few pieces that belonged on other planes and reloaded the remaining luggage. We were finally on our way to ATL. We arrived with 10 minutes to swap to our alternate flights because we had missed our original flights. The Delta staff member in ATL had only sent 12 wheelchairs all for baggage claim. People were scrambling to find wheelchairs but there was no one to push them in Concourse A. We were heading to Concourse E and did not even have wheelchairs on our alternate flight listing. We had now missed our alternate flight to BNA.

    The attendant at the gate we landed at gave us another alternate flight to BNA via Concourse E. We had now 30 minutes to get to E and no wheelchairs. That's when a young girl found us chairs and after a while found another girl to help push us part of the way. They found another person to replace the other girl and we barely made that flight. Through the whole process, Delta employees just did not care about us. The employee in FLL did not process our assistance request and the Delta employee in ATL did not try to assist with transportation. Next time it will not be Delta that we fly.

    Flied twice in 2019 summer with Delta, both return NY flights canceled, had to change my plans and return home on second day, being routed to another city to get home. So many flights back to NYC, believe Delta overbooked all flights. Their services were horrible, gave your seats in last minutes, when asked, let you check the black screens. Opened complaints after travels, got $25 back for each person for one flight, nothing for another flight. Two cancellations caused us a few thousand dollars additionally. It was so frustrating and helpless specially when you traveled with a big group with friends and families. Will try to avoid Delta in the future as possible as we can.

    Damaged baggage procedure from the flight from January 2019 is never to end. What one should do to have it concluded. A seafarer has been dealing with this for a year now. Numerous e- mails, calls, misinformation that payment has been settled, but actually it has not, not followed up- time gaps filled with silence, family members being embarrassed over x visits to the bank and being sent back, precious work breaks spent resolving and chasing assistance, new account opened specifically for this case in order to do something from my side and still nothing. An ongoing nightmare with Delta Airlines over a single damaged luggage case. Disgrace!

    I travel as a family of 4 with 2 kids under 6 years of age. As a family we had over 400lbs of luggage allowance and we used less than half and yet the Delta staff made big fuzz about being 3-5 lbs above in a couple of luggages. So we had to bend backwards to redistribute belongings for 30 minutes. Then we get on the flight and we have again allowance to put 4 carry ons in the overhead bins and this century old attendant (just to give a sense of her experience without discrimination) gives us hard time, discrediting the allowance of the two tiny kid’s backpacks and doesn’t let me put my own backpack in the overhead. I tell her she is unreasonable and argue of my rights and she threatens to throw me off the flight!?! This is Delta, a crappy airline without sense of what service business is about and with personnel incapable of using judgement and reason.

    I am traveling with my son who has a disability. We arrived at the airport very early on a connecting flight in 3 hours that is half empty. I asked to be put on this earlier flight due to a high winds advisory in my home airport and my son's disability, which makes long waits in a busy place challengings. I provided documentation from weather.com of this advisory. Delta loses nothing by putting me on this earlier flight and only to gain my customer satisfaction. However, their customer service agents refused offering no explanation. Teresa at Montego Bay was my last conversation and she was not polite or helpful. I have routinely made similar switches to an earlier flight on Delta and other airlines even when no wind advisory existed. I will think twice about using Delta again due to this poor service.

    I booked a flight before the holidays and had to make changes, the online system would not let me so I had to call and have an agent cancel the flight. The refund never got posted to my account, which started a bunch of calls from my end and multiple agents trying to figure out what's going on. I have been given multiple conflicting stories and several apologies which still did not fix the problem. A part payment eventually went through and I had to call again and was told "another department deals with this issue, call them". So again more calls were made, this experience has taken close to 4 hours of my time over many calls to get this situation resolved. Delta should have much better safeguards in place for customers' returns of money. Being told that system errors are the cause are not good enough explanations and how many other times could this have happened to customers??

    Traveled from SFO to MSN (Madison, WI) through Delta. I had the connecting flight from Minneapolis−Saint Paul International Airport to MSN. Since my seat (flight DL 1309, departing at 8:40 pm from MN on 3rd of January 2020) was not allocated I went to the desk requested the woman to allocate my and my wife's seat numbers. She said she was working on that. After an hour I went back to the desk, she rudely responded back with a question, "Did I call your name." I was waiting for the announcement of my name and it never happened. She announced more than 20 people for seat allocation. After the Boarding announcement, I panicked and went back for seat numbers. She gave a rude look and printed 2 boarding passes with seat numbers different rows for me and my wife. When asked her she said 'thats all I can do'. I'm unable to conclude why such a bad treatment to me. Is this because I have a brown skin?

    We were scheduled to take Delta flight # 6196 at 9:10am from RDU scheduled to land at 11:26am in Ft. Lauderdale. Granted there were some weather related conditions, however our flight landed 5 hours late and we missed our cruise ship and thereby our entire family vacation for Christmas. Unfortunately, only 3 hours of the delay could be contributed to the weather as we had been told the final two hours of the delay that we could not take off due to missing crew, so the plane could not fly. Delta failed to keep passengers well informed and did not offer assistance to those that would be missing connections or their entire vacation due to the delay and lack of appropriate staffing.

    We were stranded in Ft. Lauderdale upon landing and no offer of assistance due to their delay was provided by Delta. We personally contacted Delta upon landing and placed a complaint with corporate and have not received follow up or a response. Also, our agent at American Express Travel attempted to follow up on our behalf and she was told the Delta rep was “sad,” however the entire delay was due to the weather and it was unfortunate we were told there was an issue with the crew therefore there would be no offers of compensation by Delta for our missed family vacation. Totally unacceptable. We were there. The plane was missing crew or we could have taken off two hours earlier and made our cruise ship. That is not the weather, but poor management.

    Delta “claimed” to our Amex agent that again this was all weather related and Ft. Lauderdale was closed. Maybe at some point, however in the last few hours of our delay, we heard other Ft. Lauderdale flights being called and leaving RDU...just not ours. Would be helpful if Delta was upfront, honest, and assisted their passengers as opposed to shrugging their shoulders. Not cool and there should be offers of compensation made to ALL passengers on that flight for the horrible experience. We weren’t the only family that missed the cruise ship on that flight and had their Christmas ruined.

Weather is not the issue and we were all on the plane boarded at a reasonable time. I do wish that Delta would realize that people would like to know what is going on. Simply giving us the information would go a long way to reducing frustration. Thank you.

    I planned a trip to Las Vegas from 30 December 2019 until 5th of January. Arriving on December 30th to Las Vegas I found out my friend got into Hospital. I called SkyMiles account support telling them I have an emergency, and if there is a possibility to change my flight ticket to Leave as soon as possible right after landing in Las Vegas. It was 2 am on December 31st. The gentleman on the phone tells me, "Yes no problem we will charge you service fee 150 dollars." I was happy and thankful for such a quick resolution. Arrived to Miami, I found out they used miles from my booked trip December 30 - January 5 and also charged 46.000 miles in addition to $150 fee. It was never mentioned during my conversation with the agent that they will charge my miles to change the trip date.

    I called Sky Miles support again and got transferred to corporate. All what I got, is "we will mention this and create a case but nothing really we can do, you used the service." Of course I will use the service. How would I know I got charged 46000 miles when my flight is in 3 hours after the conversation. So I got ripped off 150 for the service fee, and 46000 miles for one way ticket which was never mentioned in conversation. So why am I even paying 150 fee for the service. It is funny. I paid 150 to get myself ripped off 46000 miles. Disgusting business and company.

    I love most everything about Delta--flights on time, top notch planes, wonderful personnel--except their fares, specifically from Atlanta to international destinations. Their pricing is egregious. You can check most any gateway to Europe (and elsewhere) and from Atlanta it will be $800, but from Boston, New York, even Orlando/Miami, fares will be $300. A specific example. Fares to Paris for Jan-Apr are $300 from Boston; $274 from New York; $356 from Orlando. But from Atlanta? $814! When will the unfairness to Atlanta travelers be eliminated and whoever is "in charge" will make landing slots open to discount carriers like Norwegian, Level, or Condor?

    Today I was scammed by Delta Airlines and I will continue to let as many people of the world know about my experience today. Today I purchased a comfort plus+ flight from Spokane, WA. to Las Vegas, NV. Today it was $348 to fly from Spokane, WA to Las Vegas,NV on flights 4111, and 2637. My return flight was also $348 to fly from Las Vegas, NV to Spokane, WA on flights 1226, and 3624; since both flights were the same it would be $348 round trip total. We realized that we misread the first flight and thought it was an AM flight. We were told by the system that we could change the first flight at no additional charge (so it was also $348). It let me pick the seats and I thought, WOW that was easy and all of this within 15 minutes of the original purchase. The confirmation page comes through and it changed the second flight to main cabin (x).

    The site did not tell me it was going to change the second flight, IN FACT it showed me that it WOULD NOT CHANGE since the flight I changed was $348 as well. After talking to two representatives that REFUSED to honor the prices I was told I would get and paid for the second flight originally. They told me that they can't change flight prices and that the second flight is now more expensive and I will quote them "a glitch in the system that is known that happens and I get calls about it everyday". So basically I can get the first flight for $348 but the second flight.... the one I never changed I had to pay more for ($365) when I changed the first flight without notice from Delta. Delta nice way to get more money from people without telling them in advance. Instead I have had to explain myself multiple times to representatives that can't and refuse to help you. I took screenshots and I have my receipts from every change.

    I should not have had to pay any extra money for the flight I never changed. This is a SCAM. I will report to every media outlet that I can of how I was scammed by Delta Airlines. I will show them the proof. I have screenshots and email receipts. My husband and I will never fly with Delta EVER again because I do not feel appreciated and feel taken advantage of. I don't want my money back. It's not the money...it's the principle that I was scammed. Never in a million years did I think Delta would start treating their customers this way.

    This morning I tried to book tickets using the vouchers given to us due to another awful experience with Delta last March. Starting at 6:30am pst, I tried to book tickets online. The Delta website would not allow me to book, saying my card was not authorized. I called my credit card company and they told me that Delta was not even trying to authorize the charge, so I tried again through the website. Same issue. So I called customer service and sat on hold for an hour. The rep took 25 minutes to get my reservation working and quoted me the correct price that I had been seeing online, then said she needed to put me on hold for 3 minutes. 10 minutes later she came back online and quoted a new price that was $50 more expensive per ticket than the previous one!!! Of course, I said wasn't acceptable so she transferred me to a supervisor, Al, in Atlanta, told me the same thing and that there was nothing he could do.

    So even though I spent over 3 hours of my day trying to book tickets, which I couldn't book due to glitches with the Delta website and then my hour long wait on hold, I now would have to pay $150 more for the 3 tickets that I had been trying to book for 3 hours!!! This is my third horrible service experience with Delta in a row. So sad. They used to be my favorite airline.

    At 2:20 pm I waited an hour for a return call back In order to receive information on my upcoming flight. The Delta agent said because of my Economy fare he was not able to check me in and that I needed to go to the airport in order to check in. Given it was an overbooked flight (which he told me over the phone), I would have to show up and see what was available. Then less than an hour later I checked my email and saw a check in email from Delta. Completely opposite of what I was told on the phone, that I could not check in until arrival at the airport. Unreliable, Not congruent, Low customer service rating. These are the statements felt from my experience checking into Delta.

    Because of the poor customer service by phone and the email to follow, I would prefer to look for another airlines. I flew Alaska to my destination and it was so easy! Not only was Alaska accommodating and easy to navigate for check in, they gave me the option to spend more money and upgrade my seats which I did. Unfortunately I would have been more than happy to give Delta more money and upgrade my seat but there was no option for an upgrade as the level of ticket I purchased had no chance of upgrading! Completely uncalled for. If I knew there were no upgrades, or options to move into a more comfortable seat, I would have only booked with Alaska. I do hope they change their policies and allow upgrades as they become available. As I sit waiting for my last flight out, the agent told me due to my Econ tickets, he could not move me up from the last seat on the plane! Best of luck fellow travelers! I hope this helps.
