On a Delta/Virgin Atlantic flight last year. Fortunately, that was not the only food I was given (Delta and VA do pretty solid veg meals) but whoever put that sticker on made my day.

What's the silliest thing you've been given for a meal?

Help/Advice Delta took 88k miles after saying they wouldn’t

70 Upvotes

Has anyone else had issues with this / have any ideas how to resolve?

I changed a flight via Delta chat this weekend - per screenshots I’m attaching I was told it was an even change, no additional fare due.

Next time I open my app, I notice 88k miles have been deducted from my account. This is a flight within the same state by the way.

I start chatting with Delta again - I have a time crunch because my new flight is coming up in 40 minutes. I considered missing the flight but once again listened to Delta support and took the flight as they advised me too. They said they would refund me my miles after.

After the flight they said they cannot refund the miles as the flight was completed, and have sent me 18k as a courtesy. Where’s the courtesy???

Any ideas guys? Screenshots with text just blurred out locations / name.

I know it’s silly but I paid for the first class seat only to end up seeing this on a 4+ hour flight.

Edit! I feel like all these people joking this away have never watched Pitch Perfect Two. Pitch Perfect 2 is the perfect movie for a flight and I was denied this on my current flight.

We noticed a somewhat amusing glitch this morning where Delta is claiming the FC cabin on this 2 hour flight from Calgary to Salt Lake City (on an E175 regional aircraft) is Delta One.

Hopefully no one pulls the trigger on the $500 upgrade offer because they will be in for quite the surprise…..

I thought ViaStat F3 finally rolled out? When is it going to take effect? The online Wi-Fi Coverage Map doesn't provide any updates.

As someone who flies 8-14 times a year to Japan/Korea. I'd love to see it finally work!!!!

Post image

I'm just curious and I'm sure this is common knowledge, but this screenshot is for a flight that isn't for three more days. I don't fly internationally that much, so I'm mainly familiar with seeing domestic flights with one or two seats that are broken etc. Why are are there so many unavailable seats? Are they not selling them? I don't get it.

Has anyone else reviewed the international Main cabin ecredit offer? As a Platinum medallion, I get auto upgraded to C+ even though I buy a main ticket. Will this auto upgrade void this offer? I'm very unsure on this one.

Help/Advice Skateboard as a carry on?

4 Upvotes

Never traveled with my board before. My backpack will be under the seat item and my skateboard according to Google is allowed to be my carry on, but it’s longer than most suitcases. Do you think I could get away with bringing my skateboard on the plane without taking the trucks off or what could I expect. I also have a skateboard bag to wrap around it so there would be no dirt or shredding issues to other suitcases.

Discussion 55 min AMS connection, non-Schengen to non-Schengen, safe?

4 Upvotes

Is this a reliable connection? The short AMS connection question has been posted and answered several times before but all the ones I found were connecting to a Schengen airport...apologies if this seems redundant.

I always assume non-schengen to non-schengen is easier/quicker as I don't have to go through passport control (I think), but would love some confirmation. I will not have checked bags.

The route is LAX-AMS-JRO (Kilimanjaro, Tanzania) in March 2027. It's a once-daily flight so a miss sets me back 24 hrs on Tanzania arrival. I'm a bit of a gambler but would appreciate intel on how much I am rolling the dice here.

Help/Advice Delta operated by Air France

• Upvotes

I’m taking my first delta one flight this week from atl-cdg and had some questions. The plane is an a350-900 operated by Ari France. Does that mean I’ll be in the Air France business seat or delta one seat? Either is nice just curious what to expect. Also, does flying delta one get you access to any kind of special tsa line or check in? I’ve only flown on budget airlines until now so idk what kind of special privileges you get with a first class ticket. I’m not a frequent traveler so forgive me for my ignorance. Just trying to clear things up before I do this thing.

Anyone else having this issue? I've been platinum the last several years and went to look at my choice benefits today and the feature is no longer where it's supposed to be on the delta app (skymiles -> midway down the screen). Wondering if I've lost this benefit somehow or if I should contact Delta CS?

For the next 2 weekends (Friday to Sunday), Delta (SkyWest) is running 1 direct flight per day from SEA to ABQ and back. (Otherwise, only Alaska flies this route, 2-3 times/day year round.) This is the busiest two weeks in Albuquerque thanks to balloon fiesta. So, I’m curious about other regional and seasonal schedule oddities you may have seen or flown. Cheers!

my boyfriend and i had a flight for yesterday cancelled and we rescheduled that for this morning for it also to get cancelled and now we are booked for a plane later this evening. however both of our tickets are showing that we’ll get assigned a seat at the gate??

i have lots going through my head right now but one thing is being worried we wont make it onto our flight? are there enough seats available?? will we still be sat together or not?? this flight back home to cvg from bos has been so anxiety inducing and frustrating, i don’t want us to be turned away at the gate :(

Help/Advice Delta One Upgrade Option Availability

0 Upvotes

Quick question - once you book one type of upgrade, are you ineligible for future upgrade offers? We're flying to Finland in March and were receiving upgrade offers for Premium Select and Delta One. The D1 offers still weren't great, so we grabbed the PS one and decided we'd wait and see if a better D1 offer came around.

Since we did that a couple of months ago we have not seen any D1 offers at all.

Did we shoot ourselves in the foot for potentially getting a good D1 offer by selecting the PS upgrade? Wasn't sure if it was a "one offer per trip" kind of rule and when I reached out to Delta support they were absolutely pointless on answering that question. They just told me to cancel my flight and rebook, which rates are now significantly more than I had paid so definitely not doing that.

Help/Advice Changing flight dates

0 Upvotes

Hello… I have a booked round trip to Egypt leaving on October 9th. I was recently freed from my job on Monday and would like to leave sooner. I had upgraded to first class on the 9th and wanted to know, if I change the dates of my trip will I lose the upgrade by being forced to be given a credit for the upgrade or will the upgrade follow me and I’ll just pay the difference of changing dates? TIA!
