It is easy to fly with Delta Airlines: reserve the ticket on delta.com. or the Delta-app, where you can book seats, baggage, and check in (24 hours prior to takeoff). Check baggage regulations: there is one free carry and one personal item; the checked bags attract additional costs unless one has a status or particular cards. Check-in at the earliest possible time, at least 2 hrs under domestic and 3 hrs under international flights and check in using self-service kiosks or mobile boarding passes. As a Sky Priority member, Delta provides check-in and boarding expeditions with Medallion. On board, there is Wi-Fi, free messaging, movies and snacks. Upon arrival, follow the bags with the app and analyze the rewards offered by SkyMiles. In case of delays or cancellations, also book again in the app or call Delta support.
I’ve flown with several airlines over the years, but my experience with Delta Airlines genuinely stood out — not just for the comfort on board, but for how smoothly everything went when I needed to make a last-minute change. I figured I’d share my full journey here as a mini “how-to” for anyone planning to fly with Delta soon.
So, a few months ago, I had a family emergency and had to fly from Seattle to Atlanta with barely two days’ notice. I didn’t have time to scroll through endless travel sites, so I called Delta Airlines directly at 877-297-0699, which turned out to be a lifesaver. Within minutes, a live rep helped me find the best fare (actually cheaper than what I was seeing online) and even explained the difference between Main Cabin and Comfort+ seating.
When booking, Delta gives you plenty of flexibility. You can do it online, but honestly, I recommend calling 877-297-0699 if you’re dealing with any complex travel plans, group bookings, or special requests. I was traveling with a carry-on full of gifts and needed to confirm baggage limits. The rep walked me through Delta’s current baggage policy — one free carry-on and a personal item — and even checked if my credit card status qualified for a free checked bag.
They also emailed me all the details instantly — confirmation number, seat assignment, and baggage info — so I didn’t have to worry about anything slipping through the cracks.
A week later, I actually had to extend my stay by two days, which is where Delta really shined. Instead of trying to modify the ticket myself online (which can get confusing), I just called 877-297-0699 again. The rep found a return flight that fit my schedule and waived the change fee since it was a Main Cabin Flex fare. I can’t emphasize enough how nice it was to talk to a real person instead of navigating an automated system.
Delta’s “no change fee” policy on most U.S. routes has made life much easier, especially for travelers like me who don’t always have a fixed plan.
Onboard, Delta’s service was exactly what I’d hoped for. The flight attendants were warm and professional, and I noticed how clean the cabin was — something I pay close attention to. The free Wi-Fi and Delta Studio entertainment options (movies, live TV, Spotify playlists) made the 5-hour flight fly by. The snacks weren’t bad either — those Delta Biscoff cookies are dangerously addictive.
The seats were comfortable enough, and even though I didn’t splurge on Delta One or Comfort+, I still had plenty of legroom. They’ve come a long way with their cabin design, honestly.
Here are a few tips I picked up:
Flying with Delta Airlines really restored my faith in airline customer care. From the first call to 877-297-0699 to landing safely home, everything felt smooth and well-handled.
