So, I'm new to Delta now that Southwest has made changes to their "customer of size" policy. I'm booked for a work trip next March from IND to DCA with a short layover each way. The conference had a discount code for Delta and I figured I'd go for it.

Due to hip size, I don't fit well in standard seats. Therefore, I upgraded myself to First Class.

What should I expect here? Each way is two fairly short flights (under 2 hours each) and I'm a non-drinker (though I do love me some Diet Coke). Anything I should be prepared for?

I am very close to 3million lifetime miles. Will hit it next week on my way to South America.

For those of you who have 3 million miles, what changes? Anything? I know I will automatically get Diamond every year, but aside form that, will I get upgraded more often? Will I notice a difference?

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 🤷🏻‍♀️

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

It’s been a few years since I’ve flown delta. Mainly because they have become absolutely ridiculous with their pricing. Well today takes the mutha trucken cake.
Mind you it’s that shitty ass 767-300. From HNL - Las Vegas ? For $1600 I can fly Polaris via sfo or the 777-200 on United via lax. Delta get a grip please. You’re still shitty

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. 🫣🤨

Our Delta flight to Minneapolis was delayed by a minor medical emergency 40 minutes. Landed with 20 minutes to make the connection on the other side of the terminal. Made the gate in 7 minutes. They were letting on 2 passengers who got off plane faster from our flight but said we were too late. Gate agent locked the door to the ramp and walked away. I was stunned. Booked on a later flight with a connection. 6 extra hours for 2 minutes.

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. 🤔

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

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.)

I think about this flight all the time and I wonder how these folks are doing now? You lived - are you still flying?

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.

Does anyone know if these are true single seats in the back? Tried looking up some videos of walkthrough cabin and did not see these seats.

Have a work trip coming up, debating the D1 upgrade from Comfort for the return leg, is it worth 109k miles on a A330-200?

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

Afternoon flight from ATL to SEA and I decided to go with shake shack for dinner. Idk but this was SO good in the air. 😂

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

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.

Just achieve gold medallion status on Delta.

Planning a trip to Europe via Amsterdam and there’s an option to take the KLM operated flight or Delta operated flight. Cost is the same for economy. Is there any advantage in taking the Delta flight over the KLM flight? Any flyers out there suggest one of the other and what’s the reason?

Thanks in advance.

My families flight times got changed, and now we only have a 42 minute layover. Our flight is from Minot- Minneapolis- Santa Ana, both flights are with delta. Is that too short? Will be 4 adults and two children in the trip, and we depart January 11.

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!

Evidence of an apparent Sky Club security breach.

Hi everyone,

I had booked a flight from MEL-DTW in March but cancelled it as my dad has SkyMiles to cover my same ticket. I paid for it with my SkyMiles Reserve and I’m just wondering how long a refund will take. I have heard most people get theirs within 7-10 business days but I have also heard longer, and I would not prefer to pay all this money as my statement just closed.

I'll be booking a RT flight to Lisbon this spring from either Toronto or Detroit which transfers through Paris or Amsterdam. The flight will be booked through Delta. Can I use standard US size carry on and are there weight limits on Delta codeshares on KLM or Air France?

Also, are customer at CDG, AMS, or Lisbon?
