Flight 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!

Poor 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?

Do not fly Delta Terrible Airline, not at all interested in the customer. Payed extra on top of seats already booked for extra legroom but once on board the seats did not have extra legroom at all. They refuse to refund me the extra money and want to offer me a discountvoucher for my next flight. Really!!!!! I don't get what I pay for but you keep the money Delta?

Worst airline ever! Worst airline ever!! we bought a seat for our son and the seat was given to some one else we had to hold him! AVOID THIS AIRLINE THEY ONLY WANT YOUR MONEY!

Strongly recommend avoiding Delta I would recommend avoiding Delta if at all possible. We had booked to fly from Atlanta to Dublin but ended up having our flight delayed 2+ hours. During the delay, the Delta desk agents would not answer any questions about the cause of the delay or how long the delay would be. The staff overall seemed to not know what was going on and even later stated that they "needed to go see what was going on" before they would be able to provide a departure time. Overall, the impression is of a poorly run airline, with staff that were unable or unwilling to answer any questions.
