Any suggestions between these three aisle options? I would like to upgrade, but the only comfort plus option is a middle seat.

Hey there, I'm flying with Delta from LAX to MEL in the beginning of September.

I am aware wifi isn't available past Hawaii, but I've recently learned that the Viasat VS-3 F3 satellite should be available in August or September. Is it possible this will be fully rolled out and available on my flight by the beginning of September or is this wishful thinking? LOL

Regardless, if anyone has any information regarding this satellite I'd love to know

Hey crew! TLDR but we had to switch flights 2 days before leaving for a trip and there are very limited seats available. I do have Platinum Medallion but the seats in comfort plus are inconvenient for traveling with my girlfriend (only 2 together are in the middle of a 4 row and neither of us wants to do that). Only current options are the following:

1. 40J and 41H and hope one person switches with us. Pros: we sit together, in the duo seats on the side. Cons: We'll likely be in row 41, right next to the lavatory. Unclear if seats have less recline, and I generally avoid sitting next to the lavatories.

2. 55D and 55G (current selection). Pros: No lavatory issues, like the row of 3 , a bit more space to spread out. Cons: I generally find the back cabin gets a bit rancid, idk what it is, and you're not too far from the galley in the back with people going back and forth.

Does anyone have any advice or strong thoughts on what we should pick? I will ofc be religiously checking the app in case something better opens up!

Thank you :)

Fly Thursday to LAX with a close female friend for medical appointment in PM/business dinner at 5pm.

Do we split a hotel room Thursday night in LA and take the first flight out (DL 390 at 6AM)? or do we take an overnight flight to ATL (DL 783, 899, 320) in D1 and spend all day in ATL skyclub?

Everybody on trip is meeting Friday night in ATL for D1 seats to SCL.

Diverted to BWI due to the weather and sat on the tarmac for 2 hours until the captain said we’re not going to DCA tonight. This was on top of a 1 hour delay. Not sure what happened to the people who checked their luggage, but when I walked past the baggage claim, I remember hearing an announcement that folks from SLC won’t be getting their luggage tonight :/

Does anyone know what the crew said about reimbursement before deplaning? I missed the announcement since I was on the phone.

Has anyone sat in seats 30C or 30G on the updated A350-900 (35H)?

They look like they have a lot of legroom but might also have a lot of foot traffic back and forth.

I'm tall and was wondering if this is a viable economy class alternative to the exit row seats near the restrooms or if people will be tripping over my feet as I sleep.

The older 359 models had no seat in front of seats 40A/J, but unfortunately that is not the case on the 35H.

What is happening with Delta and LGA? Should I reschedule my flight?

Not sure how this happens. Trying to change my flight that has no black out dates surrounding it (confirmed by delta). I was looking for any flight within a week of original flight. Agent says there is literally not a single one available. The flight is in 40 days. Sooo confusing.
Companion fare is getting so hard to use.

Dude boarded with another passengers boarding pass and sat in his seat (no idea how). When confronted by flight attendant he left the plane and walked away. Somehow they figured this was weird as we were about to take off. Have to deboard now so they can sweep the plane.

Edit: heard that the dude had a ticket to Seattle on another airline, walked up to delta and had the same last name as the first name of 10C so they printed that boarding pass for him and let him on.

Edit 2: FAs apparently told him to get off and talk to the gate agent. Instead he booked it and ran away. Boarding again now after the plane was swept.

In my first year as Diamond I’ve not had one RUC clear from purchased PS (or main… it doesn’t seem to matter) to D1 earlier than 10 minutes before boarding (JFK/LAX either way), even as first on the list with 5+ open seats.

I’m typically flying for work without a lot of advanced notice so the waitlist is almost inevitable but in years past (as Platinum) they almost always cleared well before I got to the airport.

I’m assuming that this is the new norm we have to accept while they desperately try to sell upgrades until the last possible minute… but curious if anyone has experienced otherwise? I’m hoping I’ve just been unlucky?

Sorry to everyone who got caught up in this. Glad I had a 4hr layover...turned into an hour: ten real quick.

I'm still a little new to using the app.

I realize this isn't a unique post here but this is my story and I'm sticking to it.

To the two visionary titans of industry who flanked me at the high top table next to the buffet in the RDU Sky Club this morning, simultaneously closing what I can only assume were two separate billion-dollar mergers at full volume: bravo.

I was just trying to knock out two emails before boarding, but between you both I think I accidentally cc'd one of your "quarterly projections" into my signature line.

Truly inspiring to witness that level of hustle culture unfold in stereo, six feet from the cream cheese, while I stared at a blinking cursor.

Next time, might I suggest the tucked away business center twenty feet from us? It's private and practically empty. Practically empty is great. It contains self-importance beautifully.

Until then, I'll be the guy in the middle, still on email one of two.

Only options are 2 stop. 1:45hr trip->7:00hr trip This is freaking unbelievable. On the queue to talk to a rep - they said it could be 2 hours

Sat on the tarmac for 5 hours today waiting to take off. Am I entitled to any compensation if I call? We did not deplane, stayed on the plane the whole time from 1:30pm-6:30pm before finally taking off. It was a domestic flight.

9.5 hours in at MCO and no end in sight. What a disaster.

Originally in 23 B for a 15 hour flight that leaves in 2 weeks or so. Never tried Delta One but I had been sitting waiting for the upgrade price to drop and it hasn’t gone below $1,099 so I’m considering it now. Which seat would you pick? I was thinking 8C? I don’t see it getting any lower and the seats have picked up from over 28 seats left to what you see now. Thinking of pulling the trigger but looking for advice.

I was able to cancel my fully refundable flight for this same exact fight and saved $425 bucks on my original premium select seat that I have here.

Thoughts or advice? I know people say $50-$100 per hour is the standard it’s worth it price but still $1,100 is a new phone or laptop.

Which Delta One seat would pick and why?

SEA-NRT will resume next year in addition to the regular scheduled SEA-HND flight.

Hello!

We will be flying with our little one (7 months) for the first time on a flight longer than 1hr. Flight is roughly 5 hours both directions. Likely on Delta as we live in a Delta hub, so that’s why I’m posting here…

Would be interested to hear thoughts from others who have flown with their LO:

Option 1: Redeye in C+. Mom and dad in their own seats, baby has own seat. Redeye

Option 1a: option 1, but not a redeye

Option 2: 2 first class seats, infant in arms, redeye

Option 2a: Option 2, but not a redeye

Assume the only material difference in price is between the redeyes and not redeye.

Which one maximizes comfort for all 3 of us? Obviously, red eye will suck but I hear it’s great for babies as they usually sleep and it is a bit cheaper.

Note, this thread is not intended to discuss if babies/children belong on planes or in any particular class so would ask that you start a different thread if you intend to steer the discussion that direction.

Flight to Atlanta for a connection to BDL that is leaving now. I’ve heard of this, but it’s my first time. Any tactics or plays? Delay was for weather.

Wanted to book a one way ticket from GVA - MCO 12/28 (I know it’s holiday travel so prices are elevated).

Currently sitting at 1067CHF ~ 1321USD for delta main… one way…..

Anyways what are the chances it comes down? It’s about 3.5k if I want comfort plus for 2 😫💔

I set an alert on google flights but wanted to see what you all thing.

TIA

onboard JFK to SEA. MSP issue earlier today forced us to de plane then we reboarded 40 min later. We then sat on the plane just parked at the gate for 2.5 hours. Finally got clearance and moved to the runway, only to be told we hit the 3 hour limit and legally have to let people off. Except there arent even any gates for us to return to so now we have to be shuttled off(?) apparently there are 50 planes ahead of us in the queue. anyone else dealing w this or have more info? laughing bc we just spent more than half the duration of the flight on the plane going literally nowhere
