I was about to comment how being a former crew member in the US for JetBlue how unfortunate it is that we’re given so little time to clean between flights, but oh my god this was on the ground for 24 hours! I could’ve done that whole aircraft 10 times!

As I always travel in economy, I rarely have these disappointments, simply as my expectations are only that I won't die in an air disaster. I would be livid after having paid US$3000 for that ticket.

This is Delta in a nutshell since the pandemic. I flew to Amsterdam over the holidays, and the experience was similar to yours. As a Diamond member, I don’t think I can continue to invest in their programs if they don’t get their act together, and quickly! Now with Delta charging a ridiculous amount for flights + their point devaluation, there is just an abundance of good competition for international flights nowadays

On my last flight there was fecal matter on my economy seat, I wouldn't sit down and told the flight attendant, I was told there were no empty seats on the flight and was given a blanket to sit on. It was disgusting and no one should be expected to sit in fecal matter. They should have had it cleaned and sterilized being its bio hazardous material. Nasty, just nasty.

As a DL frequent flyer (Diamond Status) thank you for shedding light on this issue. It’s pretty consistent these days. I feel most pandemic-related cleaning practices have stopped while other services like poor food and amenities in domestic F are still somehow reduced, with the blame on COVID… Flew this bird reverse SEA-JFK as a red eye last year so I slept in the crumbs vs seeing them. Great vid again. Keep it up!

Definition of taking one for the team. It's a shame that there's been basically 0 changes (except getting hot food) since your last vid exposing Delta.

Love the brutally honest reviews

It is unfortunate that in this day and age, it was thaaaaat flithy! Also with the competition in the U.S. you would expect a certain degree of quality with the product. 24 hours on ground. No excuses for that! The toilet looked nasty, keeping in mind it is 'business class'. But as always a brutal and honest review, thanks Will!

I’m a delta aircraft maintenance technician and it’s unfortunate that the cleaners did a sub par job cleaning that aircraft. It’s not always like this hope you fly delta again.

I’ve only flown Delta for the past 8 years and unfortunately your review is spot on. Delta One simply isn’t worth it. The last 3 times I’ve flown I’ve experienced what you did. They simply don’t clean those spaces. I’m hoping to go to Europe soon and doubt it will be on Delta. Btw love the videos. Keep up the great work.

I carry Wet Ones and wipes on all trips. I wipes the tray tables, arm rests, TV screens and belt buckles. The cleaning crew will never be that detail unless you're flying with Emirates. Take the wipes into the bathroom because you'll need it there as well. It's a shame but it's true.

The issue with the spiraling down of customer service and fleet care with all US travel companies is that they really do not care, never did and never will. As long as they sell tickets and are able to meet their profit margin, they are happy. But fleets that are operated out of US, like the name brand Middle Eastern and European flights, simply enjoy competing to satisfy their customer, the American culture of "I don't care", "who cares", "it's not my problem" and "who give a s$#t", has extended into the American business models for as long as their company meet their profit margins.

This made me laugh. Those of us in economy are struggling to maintain our sanity and are treated like bottom feeders in a pond. I really feel for you. Bottom line is there is no accountability for the executives who most likely have never had to deal with any of this. The staffing is bare bones and if you don’t get to a connecting flight, they will find a way to wash their hands of the whole business, as per their business model. You barely even touched the tip of the iceberg…

I was a Red Coat until a few months ago. The claim of how they care about cleanliness is a total sham. All they do is that spray, which is something. But they don't give a F about actually cleaning. I brought this up repeatedly to management ( in Sea), and they could care less. Can't risk a delay in boarding metrics to clean up. I used to take wipes and try and clean at least the first class cabin as much as I could, but after about 5 months I gave up wasting my time. Why care more than management?? Truly a shame. They do so many other things well

Love your reviews Will!!! It's a shame Delta's not living up to its standards. Even Air Koryo is better than this lol

I was 2 seats behind you on this flight and figured I would be seeing a review. (Actually snapped a picture of you at work on this January 10th flight). Didn't notice the uncleanness but I guess I also was not conducting a review. The meal was well done, I had the same ribs... so nice to see hot food back with Delta. Must say, as is usual with Delta, the crew was excellent. I fly them regularly (DM) and I am so thankful that even through the last 2 years this has not changed. Thanks for the great review and keep up the good work!

Why don't you ever mention to the crew the state of the cabins? I think it would be helpful to the audience to know the crew's response in case we ever find ourselves in a similar situation.

My mom is a delta employee so I fly Delta a lot between their house in Texas and my University in England. I sometimes get to fly Delta One. Honestly I just feel lucky to have a bed on a long flight. But, after her benefits changed and I’ve experienced Virgin Atlantic, the difference is astounding. Delta is just… underwhelming. If I was having to pay as much as other people invest into first class, I would be extremely disappointed in their service and cleaning compared to other airlines.

Maybe Delta should allocate the money spent on that cleaning advert, to actually cleaning their planes lol.

Thank you for addressing the cleanliness issue, I love Delta but they really need to step up their game, specially during COVID times. Flying next week and will bring lysol to clean everything.

I fly weekly since 2019 and I'm amazed at how the planes were not deep cleaned during covid downtime.The time between landing and boarding isn't sufficient to clean those planes! I've been on planes and the door handle breaks off when trying to enter the bathroom.

I just flew out on Delta 6 days ago (round trip) and just returned home. I was not in first class or any special suite, just regular domestic. I didn't have any of that. The plane was quite clean so I'm not sure why some planes are cleaned while others aren't.

I’ve flown Delta on and off for the last 40 years, and their planes have never been clean. The crews are generally snippy, too, and I don’t ask for anything - it’s just an observation from watching them interact with other passengers and amongst themselves. I fly Delta as a last resort.

When the topic about the filth was brought up I figured it to be cause of a short turn around and cleaning crews were unable to complete the job. But when it was mentioned that the plane had been sitting for 24 hours prior to departure, that's when it has to be said the cleanliness ball was dropped.

This is why I own an rv. Public seats, bathrooms, showers, beds… I just can’t.

The cleaning lady at my job, used to clean the Delta places. She said they only have 7 MINUTES to clean the entire plane. Said it was impossible to clean an entire plane in that time, they do NOT clean the seats or anything. Please bring alcohol wipes and clean everything you will touch. This was precovid. I can't imagine it being worse, (and it probably is) since that's bad enough.

Sadly, this is also a problem with Emirates on some routes nowadays, although not as bad. I was coming from Boston a few days ago and the seat was quite filthy. It was Business Class, not even Economy

Imagine that/those passanger(s) who had that seat before you and didnt care one bit about getting everything filthy.. You can only wonder what their home looks like.. But of course it should be cleaned after each flight.. Looking forward to hear what Delta says when they see this video,or if you made a complaint

This what's made Travel Reports so intriguing and what Travel reports are in the first place, the brutal honesty. Awesome Video, mate! Cheers!

The last time I flew delta (coach) was such a disappointment I have never flown with them again over the last 12 years. Flying from the US to France for a 14 day trip, I arrived in France and was informed my only suitcase I had brought was left back in the US by mistake. I was told it would arrive in France following day but I would need to come back to the airport pick it up. After explaining that I had absolutely nothing else to wear or any toiletries they offered me a small toiletry bag that had the bare minimum (toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner) which included a white t-shirt with the delta logo which was so thin that my man nips were on display for all to see. After 4 full days without my suitcase, it was finally located and brought to where I was staying. I was relieved and excited to have my warm clothes at last as it was November and not warm. Again delta did not fail to disappoint when I discovered several items (gloves, phone charger, hat, and a couple other new items I had purchased for the trip were missing. I was told by delta that the only thing they could do was provide me the web address to file a claim/complaint. I figured nothelse could go wrong until I was on the flight home. They ran out of food at dinner with about 4 rows of people left. They did apologize but said our only option was to purchase food they had for sale or they could give us more of the free snack bags they hand out with the drink service. That is the last time I will give them my business.

I rarely fly, but due to a disability, I need to fly in business class. It’s expensive but I can occasionally afford it. I doubt I’d be able to maneuver my body into that bed configuration. Thank you for the review!

Thank you for your honest review. Good to know how they handle cleanliness during this time, especially with the price you pay per ticket

I live in a Delta hub city (Minneapolis) so I fly Delta all the time. I have the Amex card for miles, a free first class companion ticket every year, and Skyclub access. So I appreciate their perks. But that dirty cabin was unacceptable! I hope you gave Delta that feedback. They should be embarrassed! But kudos to them for that nice meal.

Delta Diamond status here... put down close to 200k miles last year, this review is spot on. I have written several complaints to Delta about the lack of cleanliness and attention to detail.

Great video! Really enjoy that your videos randomly popped up on my suggested a few months ago. Now I look forward to the next video every week!

Flown this a few years back on a 767 Detroit to Heathrow. Fantastic service and loved the hard product.

I agree. They still serve boxed food and the service has declined.

Airlines keep talking about ‘enhance cleaning’ and the use of those fancy sprays. Well, let me tell ya. That does NOTHING if you don’t physically scrub and remove debris and grease with actual soap or detergent. THEN you can use sanitizer. Pretty much all the airlines aren’t clean enough. I’m frequently cleaning grime off surfaces. Less fancy talk airlines. More actual cleaning.

The airline industry in the US has always been behind in most facets of the entire flight experience. They have not caught with the premium airlines.

Personally when I flew delta one for 15hr flight I had a delightful experience and the bedding was more comfortable then United’s Polaris first class for 15hr

I noticed that on a short 1 hour flight I took no one cleaned anything. I saw the people leave the plane and we boarded emmediately after. No cleaning whatsoever. We have to remember to bring our own sanitizing wipes to clean our own area.

9:28 - That meal costs Delta about $12.50 and it's "priced" into your ticket at $117.50. Enjoy!

Here is a tip on handwashing (no matter the place)....turn on water, apply soap, vigorously scrub hands for at least 20 seconds and rinse (leave faucet running). Immediately grab paper towels and dry hands thoroughly . Use dry paper towels to turn faucet off and unlatch door. Then dispose of paper towel. The point being...you don't want to touch already contaminated areas after washing hands.

I sincerely hope you shared this presentation with Delta! With Covid still a thing and the hypocrisy of the video touting their cleaning methods, I should think Delta would be extremely embarrassed and raising hell with New York ground crew … there simply is NO EXCUSE for this for an aircraft on the ground for 24 hours! 🤨

Hi Will, great report. As ex cabin crew who used to work for a certain Heathrow based large carrier we had to check on cleaning standards. What you experienced was disgusting, I do hope you brought this to the attention of DL. Also toilet checks were something carried out on a very frequent basis. Happy travels.....

Your reviews are splendid especially for someone like me who hasn't flown in DECADES. Last trip for work I was stuck in economy with my boss who reeked, was rude, and generally a pain. Being crammed into a tight seat next to Mr. Stink was miserable. I managed to get upgraded to first class at a layover which really pissed him off. But air travel certainly has changed some not for the better apparently!

I booked a flight on Virgin Atlantic to Europe last year and paid for business class. The flight over was amazing but they transferred me to a Delta flight on the way home and it was HORRIBLE. I wouldn't ever choose to fly with them again.

The cost of first class flights is ridiculous. You get more space but that's it. Who cares if you get a extra blanket and a set of cheap pajamas! The food still sucks. The seating area and carpets are still dirty. It certainly is not worth charging someone $5,000 to $10,000!

I love watching your videos because I enjoy travelling and going on planes but I can't because of Covid, and watching your videos make me feel a bit like I'm travelling. Keep up the good work🙂 Love from Japan🇯🇵

Also suggestion, from couple videos of yours, dont open wc door with you hand after you washed them. Think that someone closed it with dirty hand or opened before you without washing their hands. So basically you washed your hands for nothing. Use paper towel or something.

Just found this channel, and I just wanted to say how much I love what you’re doing holding companies accountable, rather than take their money and be entirely fake. Cheers bro

Recently flew Delta JFK to Aus first class. Service was appauling, seats were filthy and lets not talk about the toilet.

North American Airlines are such a let down when it comes to quality and service.

Jet Blue Mint is kicking Delta's rear end when it comes to Business/First Class.

Getting your space clean would use a hand vac, cleaner sheets for the bathroom, a bag for trash and lots of sanitary wipes. 30 minutes later and you’re clean. I cleaned executive offices and bathrooms for several years. Never had a complaint to my cleaning.

Had a friend who was a Delta luggage handler, he said cleaners go through in about 5/10 mins....not a deep clean in that time!

In my day as cabin crew it was our task to clean the aircraft at certain ports. Looks a lot like the cabin crew no longer see this as a part of their duties.

Very interesting review. I flew Emirates business class and found no complaints. A great experience, from being picked up by chauffeur to being dropped off at my location in the UK.

The fact you pay for First Class and then have to pay to use the lounge is just another example of big business shitting on everyone.

That cabin looks like it hasn’t been cleaned since the plane was built. There’s build-up of crumbs and dust there that’s many weeks old, possibly months. The claim that Covid is the excuse for no cleaning, is strange. But it’s a viral illness, and airline unions (let’s face it they’re likely to blame) deciding not to clean cabins between flights, speaks for itself.

Thank you for yet another honest review. Very much appreciated,Will. Keep it up.

Interesting comment for access - the ones with the seats closer to the aisle are 'less private' - but are easier to get in and out. So there us a tradeoff. As for cleanliness - yes, that was pretty bad. But those seating pods could have better detail designs so as not to accumulate crud so easily - or be easier to clean. Each seat costs $200k and up.

Very surprised about the grime! I’m watching this 8 months later, and I flew in this exact plane about two months ago, so six months after you. It was actually super clean and comfortable. We flew from Paris to Salt Lake, and it was really quite an enjoyable flight.

I love these reviews I don't know why people are getting angry

I'm glad you have this forum to tell the world about the filthy plane. A letter sent to Delta would have been chucked in the waste basket. The problem is perhaps the result of an insufficient number of cleaning staff and/or expecting too much from the poorly-paid cleaners.

I used to be crazy to bring my own wipes with me. You know those trial sized packets of antibacterial hand wipes. Then the pandemic happened and I wasn't so crazy. But this is why I bring them. If I have to sit somewhere for more than an hour. I'll be cleaning my area. I know I am weird.

Thanks for the video! So how come there was no room in your overhead bin? Someone else's belongings were in there? Equipment stored there? Or designed not to have bin room above that specific seat?

You and all the travel bloggers are providing an invaluable service. Thanks! Hope the airlines are listening.

I would never fly that flight. I agree there’s no excuse for it being that filthy dirty after 24 hours of sitting. I’ll add Lysol to my preflight list, as well as a good cleaning rag and a brush!! That is if I ever have to take that flight.

I fly economy on Delta and the planes are always dirty and old. A320s and 737s are what I fly on. After the pandemic, they were a little less dirty. You can see the extra cleaning. I recently started flying Southwest. Their 737s are new and clean. Great service. Great experience. I only fly Delta when Southwest doesn't fly where I need to go.

Once again another top tier review keep up the good work will can’t wait for more ❤️❤️❤️

Delta was one of the last to restore hot meals of the big three domestic carriers in the US. But that cabin, or at least your seat was filthy and disgusting. I’ve never had that on AmericanAirlines. I’m glad you’re doing these reviews of domestic carriers for all us people who are stuck traveling within the US in business or first class. It’s too bad you had to pay for that Mr. Trendy. Thanks for another great review!❤️👍✈️

That bedding issue is bizarre. If you’ve got beds and people are paying for them then bedding should be an absolute mandatory. As for how dirty it is, an extra few minutes would have made it clean which is extremely disappointing. When you pay the money you expect the extra few mins cleaning at least.

Not surprised that the plane was filthy. Almost every flight I can recall taking on Delta, I am a former Diamond Medallion member multiple years in a row, the seats were filthy. On the first flight I took in Delta 1, the cabin REEKED of urine. Other passengers were gagging and covering their noses because the stench was so overwhelmingly strong. I finally asked 3 separate flight attendants if cleaning crews could do something, as 6 hrs in the air with that stench would be unbearable. They all claimed the plane had been thoroughly cleaned. After take off & seat belt sign was turned off, I was the first to investigate the bathroom. Upon entering, I found the source: the toilet was FULL of urine. I flushed the toilet and shortly there after, the smell dissipated. Either the cleaning crews had NOT cleaned the bathrooms originally OR a member of the flight crew had done this, as I was the first passenger to board and the smell was present from the moment I entered the cabin. Either way, nothing was done by anyone after I said something to flight crew 3 separate times prior to take off. It was so disgusting and when customer service was notified of what occurred, they did nothing more than an "oh well" canned emailed response back to me.

From the 1980s to the early 2000s, I was a Delta fan. They weren't as good as American back then (domestic US travel), but they were wicked close. Now, I wouldn't fly Delta unless I absolutely had to, and even then I might look into driving. Sad that I feel this way, but the US airline industry (United, American, Delta) don't really seem to focus on delivering a good/great experience for the customer anymore. Guess who's paying the bills? Right....anyways. Now I usually fly JetBlue, Alaska Airlines or Southwest. Or like I said...I'll drive if I have the time. If I just paid thousands for that seat and it looked like that, I'd be asking for money back or equivalent miles perks.

I reckon the big question which is not covered in this particular video is any response from Delta; either at the time of posting or later. Should be most embarrassing for Delta, seeing as they push their ‘Cleanliness’ and ‘Covid-care’ in their recorded flight information. Or is it a possibility that the ‘Cleaning’ routines are done by people who just want to get through their days without any worry as to the consequences of their ‘slap-dash’ approach to their jobs; and a complete lack of scrutiny from the management?

Great honest review and I agree the filth is something we shouldn't see nor should any passenger experience. It's the behind the scenes you don't see that takes place. It's bare minimum cabin cleaners, who's rushing from aircraft to aircraft.If they took the time to clean you'd be delayed every time. As a Delta cabin crew, I apologize for the uncleanliness. I would like to say there is a time limit as to how long they can be on board before passengers can board and people can be tough crowds :) especially when delayed. If you only knew! Thanks for flying Delta

If the planes are that dirty, imagine how the food is handled 🤢

I really wish one of the 3 large domestic US carriers would release a competitive product both in the US and globally. Can't enjoy status in America with JetBlue, Alaska and Southwest as better domestic products but not offering many routes internationally.

I remember flying Delta from Sea to PVG in 2018 in their Delta One on a 767. I swear there were duct tape on the floors and the bathroom. Pretty pathetic.

DUDE, I’m like 2 hours away from flying delta suites. Lmao in the bathroom rn as I’m writing

Alaska Airlines first class is also filthy. We boarded a flight from Vegas to Seattle, only to find 4-5 pieces of melted chocolate on our seat. Asked the cabin crew for assistance, they handed us wet naps to wipe the mess us ourselves. After connecting for our next flight, we were told during dinner service that they were "all out of chicken entrees" for dinner, and had nothing else to offer for dinner besides a salad or a cookie.

It certainly looks to me as an airport ops employee that the aircraft actually wasn't cleaned at all after previous sector. There are 3 stages of aircraft cleaning - gashing (stripping cabin rubbish, emptying bins etc) , disinfecting/surface wiping and finally dressing the soft goods like blankets, headrest covers, vacuuming and toilet amenities (all three steps lacking today). My gut feeling is that the only way this can happen is a rego change to a spare aircraft on a long layover or ex hangar maintenance without physically checking the aircraft after the aircraft was swapped. The multiple step failure at Delta JFK is that Gate staff should have checked when they applied the aerobridge and advised ops and then the Cabin crew should also have done a visual cabin inspection as they walked on, and told ground ops it wasn't cleaned at all. Put it this way, even if it was discovered last minute before boarding that flight should have been delayed to accommodate a clean. Even a so-called "quick clean" (less thorough) would have made it superficially much better than that. I would have complained to crew as soon as I got onboard and noticed that pigsty. The photographic/filmed evidence would be a written/email complaint to Customer Relations/Media demanding some form of compensation in form of voucher or upgrade certificate.

What kind of coat is your red coat and where did you get it, I really like it!

I recently flew on a Delta A330 charter flight to and from Beijing (14 hour flight). I was in economy plus, but we all had an entire row of seats to ourselves and were lucky enough to have business class service throughout the entire plane. Food was excellent, FAs were friendly and attentive, and I didn’t really notice any uncleanliness.

That's why the attendants handed the wet sanitizing napkins upon boarding the flight so you can wipe the seats yourself. I remember there were crumbs and spots on my flight from hawaii to seattle to boston. I have completely given up on flying Delta after that.

Thank you for the wonderful review glad to see I’m not the only one who has noticed especially recently how dirty some of deltas planes are. Like you I am a Delta platinum member. I typically fly first class domestic and business or a first class product for international flights I’ve also flown many other airlines and had some absolutely amazing experiences. One of my best experiences was Asiana both to South Korea and to Australia. Both of those flights were pre-2020. The planes were exceptionally clean and the service was amazing. But I bought a many delta flights especially in the last two years and been a palled at how dirty they were not let me be clear I’m a nurse married to a doctor I am not going to get into the ins and outs of Covid everybody has their opinions these days and everybody thinks they’re an expert but I definitely find it interesting that we are required to wear masks and they hand you a little sanitizing packets but yet they can’t simply keep the planes clean which One would expect no matter what is going on in the world to get on a plane and for the seat and tray table to simply be clean just like when I go to a restaurant or eat in the food court at the mall I expect the tables to be wiped in the restrooms to be clean and they are not it seems like we’re spending a lot of time these days preaching at people to wear a mask social distance alcohol your hands till they are Rall but we can’t do things that make much more logical sense like keeping bathrooms clean wiping things down between different parties things that really do make a difference in spreading germs but they also make experience in the world simply nice. I have to say most of the time I’ve had good experiences with the Delta crews I’ve had a lot worse experiences with American Airlines and I’m a gold member there. But I certainly had my share of snippy cruise especially when I’m flying with my children primarily my youngest one who seems to be ignored in the first class cabins now I know just like with Covid everybody has their opinions on whether children should fly first class or not let me be clear no parent is perfect and no child is perfect but mine have traveled the world since birth so they’re very used to being out in public and know how to behave I’ve had many passengers complement me on how well behaved they were I don’t allow them to get out of their seat with the exception of needing to use the restroom I’ve never had a baby cry I’ve never changed a dirty diaper or others are exposed to it and I’ve literally flown for 7 hours with my youngest and she’s never moved from her seat. (with the exception of me taking her to the bathroom one time she was still wearing a diaper then and if I had not picked her up and said let’s go wash up and check your diaper she would not have even flinched she slept most of the way) so with my disclaimer stated it’s very frustrating when I’ve boarded planes and I’ll take drink and food orders and completely ignore her my older kids usually don’t have a problem these days but experience the same when they were younger I like I said I’m not a perfect parent and they are not perfect children but I do believe children can be a nice restaurants Fly on premium products when parents first and foremost know their children’s habits and know how to set them up for success and also parent them meaning that that’s not the time to enjoy the luxury product if you’re going to take your child along you have to be actively engaging in the parenting duties not sleeping drinking etc. so although most of the time I have experienced that particular situation on American Airlines I have had a Delta crewmember or two that I was severely disappointed in the lack of service equally to all paying passengers. Anyways glad to see I’m not the only one who has noticed things have not been clean like I said not to get into the back-and-forth as to whether we should or shouldn’t be doing certain Covid mitigation strategies or whether they work it just makes me frustrated and chuckle that we are doing certain things things that I think whether you agree or don’t agree most of us can agree with the fact that they’re not all enjoyable and yet despite that they can’t do their simple part of keeping the plane clean and they’re still charging high premiums they’ve taken away services although Delta has brought most of them back (i’ve still noticed a lack of things like blankets on shorter flights in standard first class) I just feel like if they expect us to do certain things they could at least wipe the planes down now I understand there is very little time between turnover although not in this case the plane was on the ground for 24 hours but many times you literally watch passengers get off in a few minutes later you’re boarding. I certainly don’t know what the answer is but I do know that I’d like to stop doing certain things if they can’t keep the planes clean that’s just my opinion I’m sure many will have a different comment on it hopefully my disclaimer will prevent it turning into a back-and-forth this was not meant to be a Covid discussion just simply a statement that if we are supposed to do certain things they should keep their end of the bargain up and keep things clean (although they should probably do that regardless). Thanks for the really nice review. Sorry it wasn’t the best flight.

Disgusting interior. I would avoid Delta unless I had no other choice. Thanks for shining the spotlight on this problem, Will!

Oh man! Thank you for being honest. My OCD would’ve kicked in high gear if I were on that plane. Thank you for your review.

Now that you made me aware, I will make sure to bring one carry on full of cleaning materials. :)

Us average people couldn’t afford business class. I would love it extremely.

Could you imagine being privileged enough to even be able to afford something like this, and just completely dog it because the under staffed company can't get enough underpaid employees to detail the plane every time it lands. Be grateful and move on instead of thinking you are tackling relatable issues.

Ive flown with delta for over a decade, I legitimately can't remember a single flight where the bathroom was remotely clean/not sticky, so I just avoid using it

Thank you for giving us simple but thorough reviews without excessive editing and talking nonsense.

Pathetic that Delta - which identifies itself as "premium" - won't properly clean their aircraft before and throughout flight. Lazy sky Karens.

Folks, truth is, all airlines are going through this right now. It’s just hard atm. Staffing shortages and supply chain shortages are largely at fault. I work for another airline, and we are having much of the same. Sometimes, the station doesn’t even have trash bags available to where they can take the trash and dispose of it. Some cleaning supplies may be unavailable as well. It’s bad like that. And in some stations there’s 1 person doing the cleaning for a bunch of gates, and that person has to prioritize planes that are grounded for 50-60 minutes, because those are going to be used right away. There’s only so much they can do. You can have a plane sitting 24 hours, and there just may not ever be enough staff to come and clean it because of this. It will get better, but until then, just be patient.

On a trip to Mexico City from Chicago, several years ago, the airline we flew boarded passengers back to front. As we got to our seats, row 6, A&B, (I always booked us in those seats, just behind 1st class for more leg room), the luggage compartment above our seats was jammed with other passengers luggage. My husband promptly took 2 of the pieces of luggage out of the overhead, and placed them in the aisle. Someone came running from the very rear of the plane to argue that he had the space first. Needless to say, after quite a hubbub with the FA’s, the pilot ended up coming out to settle this simple stupidity. It turned out that the passenger from row 200, had 5 pieces of carryon luggage throughout the overheads. How does this happen? Our carryons slept very nicely above our heads, and the other gentleman was angry the entire 4 hour flight. Right is might.

ALWAYS carry Disinfect wipes for Nasty Dirty Seats and Trays for the airplane!!! I had to wipe down my dirty tray in "FIRST CLASS"!! Was Not Happy about it either!! 😣😝😤

FYI, that appears to be "pink greek dressing". So basically Italian dressing with a little feta and beet juice blended in. A really delicious salad dressing in a non-airline context.
