We purchased 5 tickets for my family (including 3 kids ages 12,9,4) to fly YUL>ATL tomorrow at 12:46pm. We paid to select seats so we could sit together.

Our flight was canceled and now we are rebooked on the 7am flight and our seats will be assigned at the gate.

So we’ll be those assholes trying to beg strangers to switch with us so our 4yo doesn’t end up sitting next to a stranger.

It’s not because we didn’t plan ahead and it’s not because we were too cheap to pay for seat selection. We did all the right things. We just got screwed over. So if you see us early tomorrow morning please don’t be so quick to judge.

Regardless of attempting ATLEAST 75 times in the course of the past 90 minutes, your seat is as far back as it will go.

All you are doing now is crushing my computer and pissing off a generally accommodating person.

For the record, weekly flyer here and do not care if people recline. I generally don't, but I'm not going to complain to Reddit when someone does. With that said, if you cannot figure out that a comfort+ seat on an E-175 is not the same as a delta one suite on an A-350 after the first 17 attempts, I wish you nothing but middle seat in the last row for any future flight.

Don’t lie to me. Flying out of Lafayette. Announcement that ALL bags must be pink tagged and checked. I know mine fits in a CRJ700. Went up to tag it and ask why…. Basically told by Gate Agent don’t care if I know it fits, tag it, and check it FA said so. Called me rude for telling her it fits and daring to ask what’s going on. I fly a lot on Delta in the 700 and know it fits. Bought it because it does.

If all the bins were broken or something I’d understand. Long shot that would be the issue. I understand asking to pink tag ahead for full flights, but telling us it’s mandatory… don’t lie to me and then call me rude for questioning. I was perfectly polite till she copped an attitude with me.

Got to the plane and asked FA what was up. She’s says if it fits bring it on. She never mandated it….

Someone took my carry on when we landed thinking it was theirs as they were rushing for a connecting flight. I turned their bag into delta agents and that bag got back to its owner because it was gone when I went back to the airport the next day. All delta had me do is fill out the lost and found report and won’t do anything to reach out to the person who took my bag even though they must have a record of who it was! I’m 22M and can’t afford to replace my entire wardrobe which was in that suitcase. Delta why can’t you track my bag down!

I constantly see on here how bad of a redemption skymiles are, but that has not been my general experience. I tend to book my travel around the deal, not specific dates which I agree is usually expensive, but if you have flexibility you can book a ton of really awesome deals for very cheap. Some flights I’ve book recently below. All are basic economy and roundtrip.

RDU -> ATL -> BOG 17k $94 roundtrip

RDU -> BOS -> DUB 27k $45 roundtrip

RDU -> LAX -> HKG 34k $54 September

RDU -> LAX -> AKL 57k $57 November

RDU -> JFK-> ARN 23k $45 May

GSO -> JFK -> MXP 27k $45 October

Is the problem with redemptions that people are looking for specific dates?

Previous sky club there was pretty weird and cramped. Just visited this am and the new sky club recently opened. It is quite nice and now with a proper bar.

had a recent opportunity to fly AA first on a cheap miles ticket for some old AK Air miles, ANC-DFW. It is a redeye flight and 6.5hrs. AA takes God damn forever to do their meal service, like I don't need 4 courses. Cup of warm nuts, then appetizer (salad), then half ass entree, then a dessert. Just give it to me all at once so I can eat and go to sleep like Delta does. The red wine on AA was trash too, not like Delta wine is the best, but AA was not good. Also didn't care for the SCALDING hot moist towel they give you.

Served as a reminder to continue to appreciate Delta's quality and service levels!
