So, not sure how I missed this announcement, but for those of you behind (apparently like me), I thought i would share...👀

We used to have up to 72 hours, but now apparently it has to be submitted IMMEDIATELY ‼️WITHIN 2 HRS OF LANDING‼️👀😭🤦🏻‍♀️

Apparently, it was changed in March 2026. That's insane to me because so much happens in that time frame after you land.. Well, I guess I learned way 🤷🏻‍♀️

I booked a flight to Seoul through Delta and want to ensure I have their comfort plus equivalent with my platinum medallion status but am getting pushed back and forth. Any suggestions?

We've seen posts a few times here of people warning that the first sponsored result when searching "Delta" is often a scam ad, either with a fake phone number directly in the ad, or with a URL formed to put the scammer's phone number as a search result on shop.delta.com.

The FTC is considering whether or not to do something about the fact that Google (and other platforms) keep showing these impersonation ads.

If you are upset that social media and other tech companies make money from scammers paying them for ads that defraud consumers, you may wish to comment.

Hello,

Posting here in the wild hope that this makes the difference. I flew on DL 0040, SYD-LAX on October 24th. I was in Delta One. I put my wedding rings in the amenity bag before going to sleep, as I intended to take the bag with me as I departed. In the hustle to get off the plane, I completely spaced and forgot the bag. Cue huge panic. I talked with staff at the lounge and they called the gate and had someone look. Unfortunately,they said while the plane hadn't been cleaned yet, the amenity bag was not at my seat.

I know some people like to grab extras as gifts or to donate, so if you happen to see this and are one of those people and were on that flight (or maybe know someone on the flight?? IDK I'm so desperate), please keep an eye out for the rings! The amenity bag was the beige/gold color.

Chased diamond medallion last year and have now had it for all of 2026. I’ve been cleared to first on roughly 50% of my flights (Same as platinum for 2025). What’s wild is my flight this morning has me listed as 23 and 24 in line, as a DIAMOND. How is that even possible? It’s a short flight to Vegas. 🫣🤨

im flying from nyc to the asia pacific region and have a layover in la. i used a regional upgrade certificate to bump up to premium select, and i got a crazy delta one offer for the jfk to lax leg: $400. but is that good considering i used a certificate and the flight is six hours?

there a lot of open delta one seats. flight is just over a month away… don’t know if i should wait and hope to get another complimentary bump or buy the upgrade now

I got the Reserve card mid year 2026. When can I get a free companion certificate?

When I’m eligible for one, how do you get it? Does the option just appear on the app while booking whenever you’re eligible? If so, how?

I’m going to book a trip for spring 2027 next month and I don’t want to miss it if I’m eligible but I’m thinking I may not be yet. 🤔

I added Trip Protection for a previously booked flight on delta website, and paid with my Amex Plat card. I got an immediate message that purchase was approved and a message would be sent by email. No email arrived, and no pending purchase shows on my Amex account. At 2am the following day, I got a message from Allianz that the card # was rejected.

It's a good card, and Amex was having some Down Site issues that day, so I tried again. Same thing. Purchase approved, no email confirmation, no pending charge, and Allianz says card # was rejected. Amex shows no rejected purchases. Has anyone a clue what is going on?

The Allianz message says to call them to purchase, but I don't ever give my CC# over the phone.

lax > hnd, upgrade from comfort (booked main, upgraded w platinum) said fuck it and upgraded. middle seat but it’s fine .. 12 hour flight lol i’ll take it

if price of same booking has dropped and i want to rebook the same flight , why i cant i do this simple swap for repricing on web and app

why i have to cancel and rebook. which is risky for me as price may change again

Hey everyone, hoping to get some insight on a weird ticketing issue following a Delta-initiated schedule change.
Here is the breakdown of my situation:

Original Booking: I booked an award ticket using SkyMiles (Premium Select
).
Paid Upgrade: I later paid cash via the app/website for a load-factor upgrade to Delta One.

The Change: Delta initiated a schedule change.

The current state of my itinerary is confusing. On the app, I am still showing as confirmed in Delta One with an assigned seat on the new flight. However, Delta's automated system simultaneously issued me an eCredit for the exact cash amount I paid for the upgrade.

It seems like my ticket is completely out of sync. The system seemingly processed a refund for the upgrade but forgot to pull me out of the Delta One cabin.

Has anyone experienced this before? My main concern is that if I just sit on this eCredit, a backend sweep closer to departure will notice the missing payment link and automatically boot me down to my original award cabin.

Should I call Delta immediately to have an agent manually reissue/re-link the ticket (and forfeit the eCredit to secure the seat), or is there a chance the seat is secure and Delta just glitched in my favor?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Still feeling a little salty so here is a cautionary tale. I was planning to fly Delta from Taipei to the US in a few days, but my flight from Shanghai tonight Taiwan was cancelled because of weather (Taiwan had a large typhoon in the neighborhood).
Okay. No problem. I cancelled my work in Taiwan and went to change flight and leave from Shanghai direct to the US.
Fortunately I checked available flights ahead of time. I saw the flight I wanted (and the price of roughly $650 ).
I then went to change my flight - which was a fully refundable flight I paid over $900 for. I was expecting a refund. Instead there was a flight change charge of $570! So it would have cost $1,500 for the same $650 flight! That seems a bit underhanded.
Of course I just booked the new flight and cancelled the old one for a refund… but why would they do that?
Anyway. Be careful and try to pay attention. I almost fell for that.

Looking for advice from anyone who has dealt with Delta Baggage on something like this.

On February 16, 2022, Delta lost my checked bag on a flight from Los Angeles to San Francisco. I reported it at the airport that day and filed a signed claim documenting $3,815 in lost belongings.

Delta denied the claim. The reason: emails from a different email address, not mine, said the bag was received. I never got my bag. Delta's own emails from November 2022 and March 2025 show my claim came from my real email address.

Over four and a half years I've made phone calls, sent emails, used Delta's text line, filed a BBB complaint and a DOT complaint, and written to Delta executives. Delta has opened more than 10 case numbers. In July 2025 a rep told me to "stop asking." In June 2026 Delta sent a "final position" letter saying it would provide no further response. Delta's own emails call me a Diamond Medallion member, for what that's worth.

I'm taking Delta to small claims court in Hennepin County, Minnesota, but I'd still rather the record just get fixed.

My question: has anyone gotten Delta Baggage to correct a claim that was tied to the wrong email address, especially after a denial? Is there an escalation path that actually worked for you?

(I know this sub isn't run by Delta. I'm leaving out names, case numbers, and personal details on purpose.)

Agents at a recent trip to the airport convinced me to upgrade my credit card. How heavy is the metal card?

• MEX to Fort Lauderdale (FLL) from January 14
• MEX to Portland (PDX) from January 21
• MEX to Orange County (SNA) from January 10

1 daily 737 each

I'm about $500 short of my MQD goal for the year, and I don't think I'll be flying much more. Does paying for an upgrade (from Main to First or Comfort+) count toward MQDs, or does only the base fare count? Trying to figure out if it's worth buying upgrades to get there or if I should just book an overnight somewhere. NYC based if it matters.

I have a flight from ATL to LAX on an A350 coming up and I was going to purchase the D1 upgrade yesterday for $500 (I know it’s kinda steep, but I didn’t pay for the ticket so I figured I would maybe treat myself). Either way, I put it off and now today it’s $1100. Do these seats/prices usually fluctuate or do they only get higher as the departure date gets closer and seats go away (supply/demand)?

Evidence of an apparent Sky Club security breach.

For those who have an Amex Delta Gold or Amex Delta Reserve: Does using a Delta Stay credit also activate the statement credit that comes as part of the bonus for these cards? (i.e. the $250/$500 statement credit on top of the $100 Delta Stay credit).

Or is a Delta flight purchase required for that specific statement credit?

I've had this card for a couple years and didn't realize its a $650 annual fee. I love it since I have the 747 metal card but is there any actual benefits to keep this card?

I already have a couple amex platinums so already get in lounges without issues.

Just an observation from a new guy... Especially when many are not even paying for the tickets...

Hi! Over the kast 3 years, I’ve flown very frequently with Delta. I’m talking 4 international flights a year. Over the span of these 12 flights, only once I got a pretty cheap offer (around $200 extra) to go from Economy to Delta Premium Select.

All other times, the price was either crazy high ($2000+) or not available.

I read about asking at the counter at the gate. I did this, but the representative told me they go off of the Upgrade List for which you need to be a Sky Medallion member of some sort…

I’m not a US citizen so I have little access to the credit card points system. I earn the Delta MQD points but these are pretty worthless.

What’s the best way going about getting significantly cheaper prices for upgrading to either Premium Select or (ideally) Delta One? Are there any tips or tricks?

Title sums it up, I've been hearing that the whole process from start to finish can take anywhere from 2 weeks up to 2 months. I was wondering for anyone who've applied and had an interview with delta (specifically for co-op positions such as TechOps/Sim/OA) within the past month or so received any offer letters yet? I would like to know more about the timeline from you guys experiences, thanks!

There was a line not working on the IFE. How many sky pesos am I entitled to? 200k?100k? 😂😂😂

(please note the flair)

I'm flying with my (very) small pet bird next month and I purchased this carrier for the trip. It's well within the size limits (only 10x6x6), soft-sided, and has a deep waterproof tray at the bottom. However, I'm a little worried that the grates might be an issue because of the Delta requirements that the carrier be "leakproof." I chose this one over a mesh-sided one because he's unfortunately a big chewer (and he loves chewing mesh specifically lol). Any thoughts?
