I took a long haul to the Philippines. During the return layover in Korea, the pilot noticed a problem with the mechanics. They worked on getting it fixed, but ended up canceling the flight. We were one of the last flights out of the night. They worked on getting us a hotel stay in Korea, handed us a type-written sheet apologizing by the time we de-planed. The next morning when they got a new plane, we were given free breakfast, terminal food vouchers before boarding, and had a snack cart waiting in the gate area, another letter of apology. and doubled my trip miles before I even landed in Atlanta. I'm sticking with them.

Yeah, I had a similar experience--not as drastic, but some problems on my journey. And, like you, Delta had resolved everything and awarded bonus miles before I even landed. They are a class act all the way. On the rare occasion I need to fly with a different airline, I absolutely dread it.

Due to mechanical issues on one side and them pushing my connecting aircraft back from the gate early on the other side, Delta caused me to miss my connection. However, they did make it right by booking me on a flight out the next day in the same class (I was flying first on that trip) and paid my hotel and meals while I was stuck in my connection city. Overall I think they are a good airline.

Numerous calls, attitude by the CSR, and I told them plainly, if you don't want my business, I'll go to your biggest competitor. They told me "go ahead"...so I did just that. I used to have a disdain for DL, because they were Continental's fiercest competitor as far as service. But now I'm glad I'm on their "side". They are a great airline.

Well, I like Delta but, one thing that really pisses me off about them is that I can’t even access their lounges at all without signing up for their credit card, even if I fly on a short haul international flight now. It really doesn’t help that they devalued their miles so much too. Both of those reasons are why I prefer to avoid Delta at all costs now. Personally I’d prefer to give my loyalty status to Delta because I do live right in a Delta hub (MSP) but, now since I get less than what I’m paying for with them, I won’t fly them. I go take my business elsewhere to Alaska (which has a superior domestic product and loyalty program), American (I have platinum status with them) or United (matching my status with them from American and have a buddy pass for right now).

@@AvaCarter-xm4ov well, right now, I’m loyal to American but, tbh my favorite one is between Southwest and Alaska actually. Southwest Airlines’ loyalty program basically acts like a cash back program while I have seen you can get really good award redemptions for tickets on Alaska on any OneWorld partner of Alaska. Due to my loyalty with American, I get the same loyalty benefits on Alaska as I do on American. I would definitely fly both of them a bit more but, they are a bit more expensive to fly on out of here. Plus, Alaska shifts from having 1 to 2 flights a day going to Seattle with a seasonal option to Portland and Anchorage, so due to that, I don’t fly them often out of here, I always have to connect in either DFW, ORD or PHX to fly Alaska.

I do it on Southwest constantly. Clearly most on here do not fly Delta through ATL. I would estimate 35% of my Delta flights are delayed there. On my last delay on a Delta flight via ATL, we were treated to a lecture by the captain about why pilots were picketing the Atlanta HQ (failure to adjust schedules to reflect the loss of 3000 pilots after the COVID shutdown). My primary complaint with Delta is the product. Book a first class flight to the west coast and 70% of the flight is on a commuter.

I find it to be the opposite...the international service is significantly better compared to domestic on DL. Anything under a certain number of trip miles, and there's just about no food offered, other than snacks. That's true for even first class. On the other hand, the international service is on par with that on some european carriers such as KL and BA. In DL economy you get a small amenity kit containing eye shades and ear plugs, and a table cloth. I think the latter adds a touch of class. And the meals are just fine.

@@EB-sh2jr Both of those points are incorrect. Delta flight attendants are paid more than quite a few unionized airlines' flight attendants. This is public information, so I'd advise you check the latest pay scales for major US carriers. Also, duty days vary by airline and no airline is permitted to make their employees work under "awful working conditions". I interact with Delta flight attendants every week and I have yet to meet any who express they are treated poorly. If this were so, they would have higher turnover rates than all other airlines. They do not. In fact, many flight attendants from unionized airlines have left to take jobs as Delta flight attendants. I personally know of several. Your assertions are simply talking points from unions, which are themselves businesses who come with their own set of pluses and minuses for workers who are required to pay into them as a condition of their employment.

DELTA AIRLINES needs to be put out of business. Recently had a flight from DTW to SAT. The cabin temperature was around 85 degrees. As I was getting off the plane, I approached the crew. I asked them what was wrong with the ventilation system. The lead attendant blamed the pilots. The pilots were silent. Airlines regularly return to the departure airport when passengers get sick. Many passengers were complaining to the FAs. The crew was required to turn around and land. This captain decided to press on putting the passengers and crew at risk. I am reporting this to the FAA. What else was wrong with the plane. On the approach, I could see the outboard flap vibrating severely. Multiple maintenance personnel were inspecting it with flashlights after we parked. I have a return flight from SAT To DTW in 4 days. That will be my last flight aboard any Delta plane.

This is true, they also contract out to Frontier, Alaska, United and Spirit airlines. These people choose to live and work in these areas, but have a chance to move to a station and work for Delta Air Lines. I work with an individual who worked for Unifi (he actually worked for DGS, same company but changed the name.)

while Delta is doing well right now......they just gave their pilots a huge pay increase and operate the oldest fleet among the biggest carriers(many 757's, and 767's)...faced a brutal winter at MSP....and do not really have a great history in highly competitive environments(AA easily pushed them out of DFW some 25 years ago)...DL may more than others be temporarily benefitting from the disaster Southwest has become...and both Breeze and Avelo are looking to expand....particularly in the east..... a Delta focus....

William: Picking and choosing a lot of information there… 1). The two other legacies are about to announce big pilot raises as well. 2). Aircraft orders are ongoing to include hundreds of 321 NEO’s, 737max, 330 900’s etc. 3). Debt is way down compared to AMR 4). 25 y/o info on a base closure in TX really isn’t relevant since mergers, 9/11, recessions, and covid have hit since… 5). Even with tough winters in MSP they continue to have better on-time stats 6). If breeze and Avelo are going to become major competitors they’re going to have to attract labor somehow and I don’t see them being more enticing than a legacy while keeping their business model and cheap fares.

I've been flying United and Delta a lot lately; United is ALWAYS late or delayed. Delta has been spot on for the past few years. I recently flew Delta to Tokyo from the US-I sat in the Delta One business class and was treated like a king. One of the flight attendants said that she wanted to "win me over for Delta" and gave me a very nice bottle of wine right before I deplaned. Give me free stuff and treat me right...I'm sold LOL

Constant watering-down of the value of your frequent flyer miles. You may feel like you have lots of miles until you see the ever-increasing amount of miles you must use to book a trip. Delta FF miles = fools gold. Prices are forever on the rise, too

Delta butchered our flight to Europe last summer so bad I had to file a complaint with DOT , after DOT contacted them they did work with us on the issue , and we finally made it to Europe , on the way back to US I somehow end up blacklisted on “terrorist” list which caused unreal inconvenience and stress , I think someone in Delta put my name in the computer because I contacted DOT , however we’re flying to Europe again this summer , but not with Delta , I made that sure, and I’ll make sure we never fly Delta again

I have 56 segments so far this year with Delta. 1 cancellation ( Red Eye from SEA to ATL) & 2 delayed flights ( more than 30 minutes) The flight was cancelled but Delta rebooked me to another flight which was 6 in the morning & gave me a hotel stay & 250 dollar credit & 20000 skymiles. My original flight was leaving at 12:30 am anyway so not bad for a 6 hour delay/cancellation.

An idea for improvement. This is kind of an Obsessive/Compulsive video IMO jerking back and forth from effussive praise to really strong complaint. I'm not sure viewers will find that style pleasant to watch, maybe tone both down a bit. Also Delta got rid of 747s and MD88's over a year ago. Not trying to be a jerk, just giving constructive critcisim. Thanks
