5 Tips For Flying Delta Airlines (DO NOT MISS THIS) 

Awesome!!

Same! We were a week away from Japan, S Korea and Thailand... Soo many hours planning and it's been a mess. About to go to Thailand and Singapore in Feb. I'll be doing videos. Delta took good care of us. Hope you have an awesome trip!! Went to Dubai in March was awesome

I’ve thought the same thing for years!

Then you can lose that overhead bin space.

Not if you fly first. You're guaranteed overhead space

Every time I fly I think why don’t they load the back first? Seems to make more since to me .

They did this during the pandemic and it was perfect, everyone aboard including myself agreed. So much easier

So true! All true! Thank you for watching

Awesome!

Awesome! Delta is great. Hope you have an awesome flight!

For sure! You'll have a blast on Delta.

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you! Glad it helped

oh for sure

You're welcome!

Hope you still had a great trip! Glad you found me. More Travel tips coming 😁

Oh yeah, been there. The worse is if the flight gets canceled or something goes wrong. I think Expedia is the best one if you have to go with one. I'm sure you'll have a great flight! Just booked a ticket on ANA yesterday for our Thailand trip 😉 great to hear they are awesome! Have fun on Delta!

Have fun!

They don't normally do offers on something small like main to + sometimes they do first class deals when you check in Plus planes are pretty full these days so if you want it, get it.

Delta is awesome!

Would you recommend doing comfort plus for international? What's the difference?

Comfort Plus gives you a little more leg room, and dedicated space above you. That's about it. For International, I recommend Premium Select (more like First Class Domestic Flights) except you can recline a lot more with a footrest and have bigger screens and better service. (Also known as Premium Economy). The only difference in Comfort Plus vs Economy Main is a little more leg room. Next is Delta One which is more like Business Class than First but offers usually a POD, Lay flat beds, more privacy, better service, better meals, etc... Hope this helps

@@Zachus oh thank you very much!

✌️😎⚡️⚡️ great video.. thanks 🖐🌲

Hope you have an awesome flight!! Hawaii should be awesome!!

Sounds like an awesome trip!! Love Barcelona and Rome! Italy is one of my favorite places. Spain is also really nice though. So much to see.

Have an awesome flight

You can check other things then luggage but it will cost you the same as luggage unless it's an odd item or oversized like a cello... then it could cost more

Flying to London is super easy. Did you see my video in that flight? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PlEBgdqRhxk.html You'll have a blast.

I prefer isle, exit row and front row seats, if I can get them. First Class is always nice as well.

Awesome!

Awesome! Have fun! Be sure and check out www.YourSpendPower.com for more help ;) You'll love Delta

@Zachus thank you, that link shows up as an "error"

Sorry about that, try this zachus.me/SpendPower

Yep if you fly a lot then Pre-Check/Global are worth it, but you need to fly a LOT to make it worth the cost and effort. Pre-Check is domestic USA Global Entry is for international flights coming back to the USA to speed up getting back in

Doesn’t matter how often you fly. Delta American Express reimburses you for precheck and global entry. Precheck cost me nothing through my credit card and it took me 10 mins with an appt and I had my KTN number in 2 weeks. Lasts for 4 years. Even for 1 flight a year it would be worth it.

​@ShelbieMolnar-sl7vr HI, I'm just looking around to get Pre check for NY first time and I just read you got it for free with your AM card, what I have to do?

I'm assuming you are talking about a voucher the airline gave you? Anything like a promo code is at checkout. usually referred to as a discount code. If you're talking about a special event, code, travel, agent, code, meeting code you apply this when searching but you have to click advanced search, and then usually near the bottom you’ll see a place for meeting code or travel, agent code. All new travel videos are going to be at RU-vid.com/ZachusTravel and yes I'll add skymiles to my list. That would be a great video. Thank you for watching. I hope this helps

That sounds like an amazing trip!! Have fun

If you are a SkyMile Cardholder and you purchased your ticket with your card then you will be in the first group behind First Class normally.

depends on the card. Delta Gold, platinum, or the top tier card. generally you'll board Main 1. (unless you're 1st class/Comfort+)

Always on the buy direct on the bottom of

No, you cannot take any liquids through security. They will throw them away. You can only take sealed snacks through security. You can take a Yeti or Water Bottle that is metal or plastic for works outs like this one amzn.to/3JVvgfa but it has to be empty, then you can fill it up with a water fountain or at the bathroom or buy cold water and pour it into it. For the battery pack, do not pull it out. Leave it in your backpack or bag. I leave mine in my suite case through security. Have never had an issue. Don't start waiving it around though. I carry 2-3 normally depending on how long the trip is but never pull them out. Hope this helps! BTW this is true for all airlines, it's TSA regulations through security to get into the gates. Hope you have fun on your trip!!

@@Zachus Thanks for everything, even your fast reply. Jackie

I would start looking now. Setup Google trackers and wait to find a good price you like.

For international I recommend premium economy. Those will be worth it for anything over 6+ hours. I don't think $325/per person for comfort+ is worth it. Also known as premium select with Delta. Hope this helps and hope you have an amazing flight 🎉🎊

@@Zachus thank you!!

If the tickets were bought together then just one check-in is required for all. You'll get the option to check-in just you or everyone. Once check-in is completed they can refresh their app and get their boarding pass. If bought separately then each person will have to check-in. Have an awesome flight

@@Zachus Thank You for the help!

It's all about miles not much else. If you want to earn miles get another card that's not branded to one airline, then you can use them on different airlines. I'll do a video on this... good idea. thanks

It doesn't matter when you check in, they assign seats after everyone else is assigned that paid for them and if you bought them together they will try to put you together but there's no promises. Best thing to do is go to the gate and ask them when you in pre-boarding.

You received a booked ticket as a gift? It may be that they had closed any upgrades at that point. I'm not sure without looking at it. Sorry you couldn't upgrade. You can always ask the employees at the gate or when you check bags. They have more power and can see more than is available online.

You can bring snacks just not liquids through security. Great way to save

Not sure I understand the question? Make a line?

International is an entirely different thing. Most of the flights are full by check-in. Upgrades aren't handled the same as they are domestically. Comfort+ is not worth $500 extra in my opinion. I would look at premium select (premium economy). Those are bigger seats, more leg room, more free stuff. How long is your flight?

@Zachus thank you for the input! I am flying from Knoxville TN to Zagreb Croatia. I cant get there in under 2 stops so that part sucks. I also don't have Points saved yet to do it that way so it's all on me. Main cabin tickets are 1850 atleast so I was thinking to upgrade to comfort + and have that extra leg room and guaranteed bin space. Im highly considering flying carry on only

I wish I could be more help. Comfort+ isn't a lot more legroom but the carry on space might be worth it. Croatia is on my bucket list so I hope you have an awesome time. One day I'm gonna get over there.

@Zachus thank you! I was born there so I'm going back to visit family I haven't seen in a decade. It's amazing! Definitely go!

Insurance is a scam. If your flight is delayed or canceled the airlines have to accommodate you. It's Federal law. They will rebook you, pay for hotels and even give you a refund. I've flown many many flights and had this happen many times and never had insurance. Save your money. PRO TIP

Coming to the USA there are no vax requirements and Delta will not ask you. Going to Canada is a different story from what I've heard. No USA Carriers have ever required any vax of any kind, all normal. I hope you have a great flight!

Anyone can check a bag, it's $30 for the first one and $40 for the second one, up to 50lbs per bag (23kg)

You won't see this until you get your boarding pass. Then it will show you what group you are in. Hope you have an awesome flight! Where are you going?

@@Zachus ok because mine e-ticket going to hit my cell on the 11th next month I'm going to head out to the airport on the 12th and going to Egypt to get married

Yep, you'll check in 24 hours before your flight and then you'll get your boarding pass. For some international flights you have to go the check-in counter at the airport to show your passport, get VISAs etc... then you'll be issued your boarding pass. Egypt is on my bucket list for sure. Congrats on getting married!

@@Zachus I do know it says online you can get the visa for 30 days at the Egypt airport for only $25 USA money

Flying is a lot faster and easier. I see people traveling with kids all the time, every flight. You guys will be fine and watching videos like this will help you be prepared for anything. One thing some people I know do, is take away screens for a couple of days, tv, games, etc... so that when they introduce them on the plane it helps keep them focused 😉

I'm flying in October with almost 3 y/o. Don't worry, it's all going to be good. My advise.. make sure you have something like iPad or Kindle ready, the moment they allow it you can turn it on and your kids "disappear" for couple of hours from radar:) I flew with my little one when she was almost 2, then 2.5 and now in October would be third time. Explaining what's going on is a huge part of keeping them calm and relaxed. Good luck with everything!! Oh, one more thing. I treat my daughter with Mamba, the chewing gum for kids so start and landing is something they looking forward!

can you bring a water from home?

No you cannot. You cannot pass through security TSA with any liquid drinks

Yeah the bigger planes do. You are also probably flying long haul international planes. It's getting better but it is still spotty so better to be prepared. I've also been on a plane with a charging port but it wasn't work.

No, Comfort Plus just gives you a little more than economy. You still have to do General Boarding unless you are Pre-Check or CLEAR

Wait…pre check/clear has nothing to do with boarding.

No they do not, they are TSA Security upgrades. A lot of airports are getting Clear now, which is a scam if you ask me, but you pay a monthly or yearly fee and you can skip ahead some in the security lines, then the post popular is Pre-Check which is done by TSA/Gov you pay a yearly fee for and go through a screening process, this lets you skip ahead and not have to take off your shoes, etc.. Then there's Priority which is for First Class passengers you can skip the general security line and usually get through a lot faster. Boarding is determined by your airline based on the Rate code you bought. Each class as rate codes. Also based on status with the airline etc... Hope this helps

There are no guarantees. They will place you in empty seats. When you get there you can go to the gate and ask them. They may be able to help.

You buy water after TSA. 🤷🏻‍♂️

You can take sealed snacks through TSA Security but no liquids like water and coke. After TSA on the way too your gate, this is where I highly recommend stopping in a store or at a vending machine and getting water and coke (or/and juice etc). Then this will help you be in control on the plane. Does that help?

Thank you for the clarification!

I think you're thinking of TSA security. There are stores all over the airport that sale drinks. You can take water, come, juice, tea etc into the plane and consume it. You can also carry your own alcohol onboard, but you cannot consume your own alcohol on the plane. Everything else is good. Sorry someone misinformed you. I've flown fort years ago over the USA and world and almost every airline. I never fly without water.

If you booked all of them together you can check in everyone at one time. Everyone person will then get their boarding pass in their app IF you provided their SkyMiles number while booking. If you didn't, you can login and add it later then it'll show up for them when they sign in. Hope this helps

Just got back a couple of months ago from HND Tokyo, hope you guys have a blast. I'm confused a little, you said Comfort Plus but then 2 seater, did you mean Premium Select? Comfort Plus is still economy, which is normally 3 seats or even 4 to a row. (3-4-3 is most common). Offers more legroom, and some free perks like snacks and drinks. Its around 11hr flight so I would recommend watching some of my long-haul flight videos. You'll want to get compression socks and get up and walk around several times, stretch and drink plenty of water. Its basically like a normal airplane seat, with a little more leg room and recline. I would encourage you if you can afford it, to upgrade to at least Premium Economy 3 Things You need for Long Haul Flight ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F1UOW5BPwEo.html 3 Tech Tips for Long Haul Flight ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jextIkZUcXc.html 10 Tips for International Flights ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yA8Y4p5xYj4.html I have some new video coming of our flight from NYC to HND on ANA Airlines.
