Delta Is DESTROYING Every Other Airline. Here’s How 

Yeah ... but who would have thought that raising prices and cutting on miles benefits would bring in more profit.

Methinks you didn’t watch this “commercial” in it’s entirety, because it definitely was critical of Delta.

“Boeing has added features, some you might think are a bit weird” Right…

Yeah, I had a similar experience--not as drastic, but some problems on my journey. And, like you, Delta had resolved everything and awarded bonus miles before I even landed. They are a class act all the way. On the rare occasion I need to fly with a different airline, I absolutely dread it.

I just came to this video because I was so impressed by them. Storms on the US east coast this weekend. my plane got delayed and so I got rebooked and then the rebook was overbooked. They gave me $900, free hotel, food vouchers, and skymiles. Lifelong customer coming there way!

Most airlines do that it’s in The policy and law in the states

You were on Delta Air Lines going to Manila? Or Korean Air? I didn’t know Delta does Manila

Partner flight. Delta from ATL to Korea, then Korean Air to Manila@@mr.international23

You could also stop in LAX or SLC.

Well they have a TGIF’s and Blue Moon Cafe at Atlanta Airport so it’s good to grab lunch.

Kansas City to détroit to Honolulu

Scenic stop?

KC to Detroit was my last vacation...Where’s your home?

😂😂😂 Oh my goodness

I bet he is getting it from Delta's sponsorship and marketing teams.... lol....

​@ml_g this is Delta propaganda at its finest

@@ml_g they are still a great airline 😂

Maybe as a pilot you could talk to customer no service and ask why I only get .5 ounce of nuts in Premium Select.

You had a great time I guess. Where are you from buddy?

Did you hook up with him in Paris for a Bud Light?

Family Ties

@@AvaCarter-xm4ov , huh?

I’ve never had a problem with United 😟

@@managed9348 , great for you. I've never had a problem with Continental either, until they merged with United. After that it was all downhill. The final straw was last year November when they gave me the hardest time using my miles for an award trip. Numerous calls, attitude by the CSR, and I told them plainly, if you don't want my business, I'll go to your biggest competitor. They told me "go ahead"...so I did just that. I used to have a disdain for DL, because they were Continental's fiercest competitor as far as service. But now I'm glad I'm on their "side". They are a great airline. It's sad, but now I have over 244,000 miles just sitting in my Mileage Plus account.

United has better first class service though

Positive

We must fly together sometime ?

Give Southwest a try bro

same here, except my home airport is ATL so even better haha

@@AvaCarter-xm4ov ...SWA? You mean the company that keeps stranding thousands of passengers due to archaic technology meltdowns?

It’s indeed amazing. What are some features you love?

Arrive alive is better than any on-time records!!!!

Think I had same issue. Really sucks! How did you get over it?

I don’t fly Delta, it’s as simple as that

Ill bro...So what’s your favorite airline?

@@AvaCarter-xm4ov well, right now, I’m loyal to American but, tbh my favorite one is between Southwest and Alaska actually. Southwest Airlines’ loyalty program basically acts like a cash back program while I have seen you can get really good award redemptions for tickets on Alaska on any OneWorld partner of Alaska. Due to my loyalty with American, I get the same loyalty benefits on Alaska as I do on American. I would definitely fly both of them a bit more but, they are a bit more expensive to fly on out of here. Plus, Alaska shifts from having 1 to 2 flights a day going to Seattle with a seasonal option to Portland and Anchorage, so due to that, I don’t fly them often out of here, I always have to connect in either DFW, ORD or PHX to fly Alaska.

no you can you just have to buy the membership.

That’s just your situation, gotta pay to play.

@@Cannoli978 LOL Naw, there are way more tricks that you can use. Fly round trip to somewhere else that they fly to cheap and then fly from there where the air fares are 1200.00 less. For flying to asia you can fly to JFK, ATL, ORD, etc etc. or even drive to Grand Rapids and fly from there on the exact same flights plus one more for 800 dollars less.

In general, Delta is also more expensive for Domestic flight.

i too think the 500k claim was a bit skewed. i've never seen it that much when i do an internet search

You are a frequent flyer for both United and Delta geez you must fly every moment of the day to get both. Because it's nearly impossible. If you are going to make a made up story make it believable. Oh well...

@@jamesf791 You must work for Delta.

@@alooga555 actually just an intelligent person who caught you in a fib

@@jamesf791 I wish I could DM the actual card I have

@@jamesf791Intelligent? Right…

I’ve never heard bad things about klm or Air France in general. Nor virgin Atlantic.

I find it to be the opposite...the international service is significantly better compared to domestic on DL. Anything under a certain number of trip miles, and there's just about no food offered, other than snacks. That's true for even first class. On the other hand, the international service is on par with that on some european carriers such as KL and BA. In DL economy you get a small amenity kit containing eye shades and ear plugs, and a table cloth. I think the latter adds a touch of class. And the meals are just fine.

Which is why delta is trying to compete ONLY on service long haul instead of price and raising prices while keeping the same services domestically and even competing on price.

probably easier to get into the star alliance clubs because they aren't as popular as the delta lounges because of the overcrowding complaints. simple logic

I do it on Southwest constantly. Clearly most on here do not fly Delta through ATL. I would estimate 35% of my Delta flights are delayed there. On my last delay on a Delta flight via ATL, we were treated to a lecture by the captain about why pilots were picketing the Atlanta HQ (failure to adjust schedules to reflect the loss of 3000 pilots after the COVID shutdown). My primary complaint with Delta is the product. Book a first class flight to the west coast and 70% of the flight is on a commuter.

@@franklawson7428 i was delayed from ATL to DEN once for 2 hours because they couldn’t get pilots there on time. otherwise i delta has been great to me

I'd say this depends as much on what airport you're in as what airline you're flying. And I've been screwed over by Delta and American running late and making me miss a connecting flight, with Delta twice in fact. Interestingly, the only one of the major 3 that hasn't blown this so far for me is United, usually considered the worst of the three.

@@franklawson7428 i've done my research. delta has a much larger network to cover than southwest. apples and oranges bruh

Me to. I HATE yucknited!!

Comical story...too bad this is not true

i see it's still 2500 miles. go to their website and submit your request or you can call reservations

That route is actually operated by SkyWest, not Delta. The crew & plane are from SkyWest.

Pilots are too picky. Though we do have to put up alot up front to get there, there does need to be return on investment at some point.

Out of all the airlines delta pays there employs the least.

​@@psycoape5753 bruh.... this is false... stop lying lol

cut pay? where are you finding this information...? interesting

@@psycoape5753 it's actually the opposite; they pay the most

At least delta has the best cabin crew AND doesn’t KILL your dog. United has the worst staff i have ever experienced and they also beat up others. At least delta gives you refunds for cancelled flights

@@maxsaviation9512 I got bumped while flying a bereavement fare. "My family is literally dying" doesn't warrant a response of "you can wait in atlanta for two days." I am not a fan of most american carriers, but Delta's LaGuardia hub was the stuff of nightmares. I almost exclusively fly Alaska or JetBlue these days.

United never refunded my cancelled flight from New York

Facts. Where are you from?

Don’t you think Southwest is a competitor?

Airports are not run by the airlines, but by the city. When you buy a ticket you are paying the city for the service.

That's due in large part to the "pressure" of unionizing - just having the threat of forming a union is enough to force DL bosses into treating employees well

That’s because they have better management than United who threaten you every day

@@anishde5555 Oh absolutely. It adds a lot of pressure on management to keep them happy enough not to unionize.

The delta employees are union except for the attendants and they are paid less then the union airline attendants and have awful working conditions compared to unionized attendants. 16 hour scheduled work days and minimum 8 hour crew rest unti the Federal govt stepped in

@@EB-sh2jr Both of those points are incorrect. Delta flight attendants are paid more than quite a few unionized airlines' flight attendants. This is public information, so I'd advise you check the latest pay scales for major US carriers. Also, duty days vary by airline and no airline is permitted to make their employees work under "awful working conditions". I interact with Delta flight attendants every week and I have yet to meet any who express they are treated poorly. If this were so, they would have higher turnover rates than all other airlines. They do not. In fact, many flight attendants from unionized airlines have left to take jobs as Delta flight attendants. I personally know of several. Your assertions are simply talking points from unions, which are themselves businesses who come with their own set of pluses and minuses for workers who are required to pay into them as a condition of their employment.

737?

737?

737?

does jetblue fly to europe or asia or the south pacific like delta does? not a gotchya question i just want to know

I miss the delta 747-400 though

We’ve added over 200 Airbus A321’s to the fleet and counting with Brand new A321NEO’s, A220’s and A330 NEO’s. Our A220’s will phase out the 717’s over time. The A321’s will phase out the 757’s and the A330’s will phase out the 767’s.

@@dougmitchell20 yeah but they only have a hand full of the new a330-900neos not enough to replace the old 330’s.

I hate those crammed Boeing’s. The delta A350 is more comfortable and you don’t get treated horrible by the worst staff on united!

@@maxsaviation9512 dude that happened like 5 years ago and I’m sure delta doesn’t have the same problems. Probably with delta they don’t have enough of them the 787 have way out sold them they all have issues. Delta is just to cheap to spend money and they use more JV to fly internationally that’s why they have to pay their pilots more to be happy. United 787-71 planes vs delta 21 a350 they have a long way to go.

767-300 = 2-3-2

This is true, they also contract out to Frontier, Alaska, United and Spirit airlines. These people choose to live and work in these areas, but have a chance to move to a station and work for Delta Air Lines. I work with an individual who worked for Unifi (he actually worked for DGS, same company but changed the name.)

William: Picking and choosing a lot of information there… 1). The two other legacies are about to announce big pilot raises as well. 2). Aircraft orders are ongoing to include hundreds of 321 NEO’s, 737max, 330 900’s etc. 3). Debt is way down compared to AMR 4). 25 y/o info on a base closure in TX really isn’t relevant since mergers, 9/11, recessions, and covid have hit since… 5). Even with tough winters in MSP they continue to have better on-time stats 6). If breeze and Avelo are going to become major competitors they’re going to have to attract labor somehow and I don’t see them being more enticing than a legacy while keeping their business model and cheap fares.

Let me guess, you booked with a 3rd party... All airlines do that when you book 3rd party. Don't blame an airline for this

Flight Attendants, as well as other work groups, periodically hold votes on whether or not to unionize. They, themselves, have repeatedly chosen not to unionize.
