Airline reviews

Our itinerary included a 1 hour and 30 minute layover, which should have been sufficient under normal circumstances. However, our original flight was delayed. Before we even deplaned, we were instructed to collect our checked bags from baggage claim, clear immigration and customs, and then recheck our bags for the connecting flight. The airline knew—or should have known—that this was impossible. Checked baggage acceptance closes one hour before departure, meaning there was no realistic way for passengers from the delayed flight to recheck their bags in time. Despite this, the airline gave us misleading instructions instead of informing us that we would likely miss our connection. We completed immigration and customs in approximately 10 minutes, but our checked bags did not arrive at the carousel for more than 30 minutes. After collecting them, we had another 10-minute walk to the baggage drop area, only to find that no airline attendant was present. We then went to another airline counter, where an employee told us this had happened before and that there was nothing they could do because the baggage acceptance window had already closed. At that point, there were still 40 minutes remaining before our flight's departure, yet no one was willing to assist or offer a practical solution. When we asked to be rebooked, we were simply told to call the airline's 800 number ourselves. There was no accountability or customer support at the airport, leaving us stranded in a foreign country with no immediate assistance. After finally reaching an agent on the 800 number, we were rebooked on a flight for the following day. However, we were initially told that the airline would not provide any hotel accommodation and that we would have to arrange and pay for it ourselves. Only after making multiple calls and speaking with several different agents did one representative finally issue a hotel voucher. The entire experience was an exhausting and frustrating ordeal. What should have been a 20-hour journey ultimately became more than 30 hours due to the airline's poor planning, misleading instructions, lack of accountability, and inadequate customer service. The unnecessary delays, confusion, and absence of meaningful assistance caused significant physical exhaustion and severe mental stress. This experience fell far below the level of service passengers should reasonably expect.

Horrible! I spend in airport from 9:30 and till 2 am. My flights and connections was delayed, rebooked and after was delayed, I couldn’t get home! I was stuck! The money I paid it’s to much for what I got! 💩 never again flying with your company! Second time booked with you and second time lots of issues. I rather pay 100$ more but be on schedule and time!

A little disorganized but overall good. The Delta flights were great though

Staff was nice, helpful, and did all they could. I understand economy seats are bottom of the barrel, but we're crammed in there with others in our row.

Original flight delayed/cancelled. Re-routed on a 2-stop flight, which put me into my destination 7+ hours after initial arrival. Had to change a number of plans already scheduled for arrival day. Fortunately, was re-routed again after arrival at initial departure location, on a one-stop flight that put me into final destination only 3 hours behind schedule. Some plans were able to be salvaged after another round of calls, etc. Stressful, but worked out ok in the end.

I was very frustrated that our first flight from Grand Rapids to Detroit at 6.20AM was cancelled because the captain wasn’t legal to fly. Especially after the fact that we all had already boarded, then had to deplane. I was excited to fly to Korea for the first time with Korean Air for a connecting flight, but had to give that up because of Delta’s mistake. Not only that, but I wasn’t even able to sit with my dad on the longer flight. Our first flight after being changed was also delayed because the captain had to take an uber. The only compensation we got from this giant mess was a $12 airport expense voucher that I didn’t even get to use since we didn’t have enough time between connecting flights.

Late departure, so I missed connection in Detroit. But Delta gave me a great hotel & breakfast. Just sorry I could not get anything from my checked baggage.

Crew was friendly. Lost our luggage and told us it’d be in later in the evening of the day we returned. It was not. Still after 5 days have not received it.

Needs to be clearer about baggage allowances upon purchasing tickets

Very easy boarding. The on board snacks were not good.
