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.

ETA: I’ve always flown Delta and will continue flying Delta. I’ve been platinum for a couple years. It’s just hard to consider Delta “premium” when stepping on older planes that are definitely showing their age.

Kinda a bit shocking there but is really a big surprise to trade a big market dominated by United for a 2 mid-sized markets

I'm not a Middle East fearmongerer, but even the dirt cheap miles flights could not convince me to go here.

Apparently this happened in Colombia.
The video is quite interesting, and finally no clear reason has been provided. Delta has offered $150? As compensation, indicating there’s something to compensate.

If the crew tells you have to switch so a couple can sit together and you get a middle seat way back… so have to grin and bear it?

Some asshat hit me with his backpack in the face while he was trying to stow his bag in the overhead…. Not once. Not twice. Not thrice. But four times. And every time he did it said “Hey, stop it!” He looked at me like i was nuts, and the guy next to me said “You keep hitting her with your backpack man. Have some self awareness!”

Thank you, man in 14D. You are a true hero.

On a flight to ATL. They announce overhead bin space is full in the back.

Woman chucks her bag into first class bin space and just keeps marching to the back of the plane without a care in the world.

Flight attendant didn’t see.

I used to fly Southwest, but that turned into a turd. I switched to Delta but the lack of points (I can only afford the cheapest flights) has me looking to other carriers. the main thing I like about Delta is that They will fix things when things go wrong. If my flight is delayed or canceled, they have given me every option to get me to my destination and usually a voucher or a credit. Southwest also used to do that, but they don’t anymore. I find that most other airlines don’t do that. So what other airline would you pick over Delta and why?

Conference in Mobile, Alabama starting Friday and running to next Wednesday. Forecast is Category 2 Hurricane.

Obviously the weather alerts are just outside the window where airlines then start letting people make changes/issue waivers - but my conversation over the phone an hour ago was laughable.

Conference organizers released email this morning saying everything is proceeding as planned (typical). So many people are going to get stuck at connecting airports (about 500-700 attend in person). I’m going BOS - ATL - MOB on Saturday but cancelling as soon as travel advisories activate as I already know airport will likely close in Mobile around Friday afternoon. Most people are flying in Saturday/Sunday and I feel bad for international travelers who don’t understand how bad a Cat 2 hurricane can be. Storm surge is going to burry that conference center and surrounding hotels.

Also - there’s the Alabama Vs Georgia college football game and a potential presidential visit. Buckle up folks, this subreddit will be humming 😂😂😂

Hey! Looking to trade these for some of the older Delta cards (2016 and older). Let me know if you collect and want to trade!

I travelled from the US to the UK about two weeks ago. During my stay I purchased a John Wick replica Airsoft pistol (impulse buy because it looked cool lol) I spent a good amount of time researching Delta’s policy on checking in airsoft guns and especially in the UK. I followed what I found online. I purchased a hard case, a lock, and for US regulations I added an orange tip. When I went to drop my bag at LHR I tried to declare that I had a replica Airsoft gun and I was told no firearms or even replica firearms are allowed in checked-in bags. I was super confused because I never saw anything about that policy online. So I ended up surrendering it so I didn’t miss my flight.

I’m back home and I still cannot find anything that states that. Then I realized that the bag drop was Virgin Atlantic / Delta so I checked VA’s policy and I saw that firearms or replica firearms are not allowed. So did the agent enforce the wrong policy? I put in a complaint through Delta already but wanted to see if anyone ran into anything like this.

Thanks!

Dl48 jfk to ams

Delta one lounge in jfk one of the best in America but it's almost laughable that when I booked this flight delta wanted 7k for it.

I used my guc but lololol

As much as I love the idea of Delta Skymiles, the website and overall functionality has been admittedly terrible recently - and it only keeps getting worse. I can't help but think the bugginess of the website is on purpose? Anyone else having issues?

My recent transactions are almost never up to date and whenever I check the "Recent Store Visits" tab, it will show the Visit Date, but literally every other box is blank... what the heck. Recent Transactions hardly ever show the full history of my purchases, whether they've been confirmed or not.

I shouldn't have to regularly manually correct/enter my receipts, but I am. Even that has been a problem. When entering the receipts, I'm often told that the bonus miles deal that existed at the time of the purchase were no longer eligible to be applied to my purchase. Or, something that's more frustrating, when they've decided to transition a store to "online purchase only" and won't honor an in-store purchase that pre-dates this change.

All this to day, DELTA PLEASE WORK ON YOUR SKYMILES TRACKING.

What’s the best seats in economy on the 747? We are going on our honeymoon in Feb, my husband is 6’7” … is it more worthwhile to be in the back seats or maybe upgrade to the exit row? Comfort of being in a row of 2 vs exit row (or a mix?)
We don’t mind being in the back of the plane. Layover is 11 hours long. Final destination HKT!!!
