GBOn my flight to Saint Martin and the return flight to Tallahassee On my flight from Tallahassee, Florida to Atlanta, Georgia we were told that after we had already boarded the plane that there was an uneven weight in the wings so we had to wait until the fuel truck came back to the plane and added 500 gallons of fuel. Because of that I was late making my connecting flight in Atlanta. After standing in line for 15 minutes, waiting to speak to somebody in customer service the man behind the counter not so nicely. Explain that my connecting flight was also delayed and that they were actually boarding. I got this information sent to me in a text 15 minutes before , the plane was too board! as I’m sure you know the Atlanta airport is not an easy airport to get from one place to another so I had to at the age of 73 run to my next boarding terminal. On my return flight from Saint Martin to Atlanta everything was going pretty well until we boarded the plane and for the next 3 1/2 hours all of us on the plane had to listen to a child literally scream for 3 1/2 hours. I know that’s not your fault but unfortunately, the last five or six rows at the back on the right hand side of the plane the movies weren’t working. We couldn’t even put earplugs in to drowned out the screaming child. I will say that the flight attendants did try to get the TVs working, but they never did work for the whole flight . We couldn’t even download a game because they wouldn’t download my whole experience with flying on Delta from the beginning of my vacation on April 3 to the end of my vacation on April 10 was a stressful, exhausting, bad experience I don’t believe I will fly on Delta again . My friends I was meeting in Saint Martin had flown on American And had no problems. I think I’ll stick to cruising.

DEFlight Flight Dear Sir or Madam, We had booked a flight from Atlanta to Düsseldorf on 27.7.23. (DL 90) When we sat on the plane, we were told that we could not take off due to a defective engine, they were trying to start the flight manually, this takes up to 2 hours. After 2 hours we received the message that the engine had to be repaired. After waiting a total of 6 hours, IM flight time with 2 small children, without internet and with only water and cookies provided, we were then told that we could no longer take off as the flight hours had been exceeded. When we got off the plane, the counter was already soooo long that we didn't want to/couldn't wait in line with our small children. And we were assured that we would automatically be booked on the next flight, the next day at 11 a.m., and would only have to come to the airport for boarding. We could also book a hotel ourselves. So we drove to the hotel. On the ground, my sister chatted with Delta for HOURS to find out that there was no flight the next day. After a lot of back and forth, we were booked on a Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt. So that we could get home safely with the children, I booked an expensive transfer from Frankfurt to our home, also on the assumption that this would be taken care of. When we arrived in Frankfort, our luggage was there and we realized that we only got vouchers for Delta, which are neither transferable nor valid for more than a year. There was NO response at all to inquiries from our lawyer. We are hoping for a reasonable compensation as our whole family are actually good and satisfied customers of the airline!

ARPoor loyalty program since 2023 Their service on board is EXCELLENT. They offer good food, entertainment, and information. I used to love Delta but their new Skymiles program benefits only rich people. It's MUCH HARDER to earn status. They want to push Delta Vacations (I get better options and prices elsewhere). It's just not worth it. They have also limited benefits from credit cards, which makes it even less worth it to travel with them. Why bother?

FRNul point Nul point. The rating here on Trust Pilot does not surprise me. Should have checked before we booked! Missed a connection. Delta's fault. Girl at lounge was kind (we had to go there to ask what to do - no other guidance) but otherwise complete lack of empathy from Delta staff at Boston. We are very frequent fliers and know what good looks like. Never again. KLM (who we booked with), what were you thinking code sharing????

GBEasy to change the ticket name! I wanted to change the name of the passenger on my ticket and so I reached out to the help chat on Delta's website. EJ helped me after I was forwarded to them through the chat bot and the interaction was super streamlined and easy. I filled out a short form with the name change and then it was done, just like that! No fee, no waiting days, absolutely amazing. For United Airlines, to do the same thing, I talked with an agent for 30 minutes for them to tell me to request a refund that I may not even be qualified for and then buy another ticket. So, I am very satisfied with Delta's customer service and system.
