r/delta

Okay so I really need some advice...i booked through Delta though the connection from atl to paris n warsaw is through airfrance - a flight from charleston to Atlanta to Paris then finally warsaw was there for 5 days and then on to seoul south korea for vacation. My checked luggage was scanned from chs to atl and then never made it onto the European connection. I filed a claim at the warsaw airport and for 5 days have been told my bag is going to be loaded. Now im leaving warsaw to head to seoul with no checked luggage and no plan on if they will forward it on to seoul and basically getting the run around by AirFrance and warsaw baggage department...the thing is I really need that checked luggage because it has medicine that I told that was needed....any advice??? I am feeling very defeated

>UPDATE: Filed a complaint with Delta and DoT already, thanks yall for the kind words. I’m not even angry about the whole thing， just deeply disappointed. Why do I have to deal with this kind of drama over something so trivial? I’m not someone with a huge ego, and I never push people around, yet even a flight attendant feels entitled to walk all over me.

Hey everyone, just landed in SLC on DL1009 out of Newark and need to vent / get some perspective on a really unsettling experience today.

Earlier in the flight, I somewhat slightly helped the crew accommodate a passenger who had a sudden medical emergency.

Later, I woke up with severe allergy dryness and went to the rear galley for a cup of water. The aisle was crowded with people waiting for the lavs. There were no curtains so I stepped slightly into the galley area for 0.5 seconds to clear the aisle and asked politely: "Excuse me, can I get some water?"

Instead of a basic response, the flight attendant (identifying as Rohan/Rowan) immediately snapped at me with extreme impatience, telling me to get out because the cart will going down (note that there was no cart in the aisle and in sight, and he was not preparring the cart for next round of service) even though there was a large bottled water and paper cups right on the counter in front of him for this exact kind of request as it is a 5hrs early morning flight.

I stood aside, waited politely for about 5 minutes, and asked once more. He again snapped and told me to get out. When I called out his hostile tone, he pinched his own finger handling the cart, blamed me for it, and aggressively yelled at me three times to "get off my face."

It took another 15 minutes and waiting until the regular service round to finally get a cup of water from the other two FAs

Shoutout to FA Megan and Jesus who were exceptionally kind and professional the whole flight, but this other interaction left a horrible taste in my mouth.

As an minority passenger, being met with instant, aggressive hostility over a basic necessity felt horribly differentienial. Not to mention I witnessed a lady(White) in front of me received soda with no issues.

EDIT: I am stating how I feel about the incident, don't want to emphasize or declare it is a race thing or 'playing the minority card' as someone in the comment said. I wish I have some cards to play that would actually benefit me.

Hi! I’m flying D1 from MSP-ICN right now it’s a lovely flight. My mother died on Monday and my boyfriend left me on Tuesday. All I can do right now is listen to my favorite song on repeat and bawl my eyes out. The FA is cautious but nice.

I have 7 more hours of this. I would love to hear the story about the last time you cried on a Delta flight. Happy/funny/sad/awful. Please tell me you landed and everything worked out. Please tell me you were ok afterwards.

How do I get more delta points and best way to accumulate them?

I've never flown Premium Select, and I've never flown to Asia, so I'm "flying blind," so to speak. I assume Premium Select is basically the same as Domestic First Class, which is usually too uncomfortable for me to sleep in.

My current thought is to just cope on the outbound flight, since it's daytime I probably won't be sleeping anyway, but when I get to SeaTac ask the gate agent if they have any opportunities for me to buy D1 on the return flight.

So I'm here to ask two questions:

1. Is D1 really that much better than Premium Select? And is Premium Select really no better than Domestic First Class?
2. Anyone have a good idea on how to approach their unsold inventory? I'm guessing I want D1 if possible but I'm still not sure I can mentally handle $3500-$4000 for the least comfortable hotel room I've ever been in.

I booked a premium select seat on a flight from ATL to CPT. I usually submit for a gluten free meal but they are usually bad and many times I think I could've made due with what was on the trays (I'm non-Celiac). I know premium select has different food than regular economy or comfort plus. Does anyone know if the gf meals are the same regardless of where I'm sitting or if the premium select special request meals are better? Just trying to weigh my options of rolling the dice with the options on board (with plenty of snacks) or asking for the gf meal.

I’ve booked Delta-KLM itineraries in the past as a Platinum in MC and been able to upgrade my seat to C+ as normal on the Delta legs and also then select the equivalent seats on the KLM legs through the KLM app.

I’m wondering though if I will be able to do the same thing if booking a similar itinerary through KLM, entering my Skymiles number. Not a theoretical question as I’m seeing an itinerary for almost $1000 less right now if booked on KLM’s site rather than on Delta’s.
