My experience on any Delta flight is always overshadowed by the time Delta removed me from a flight for no apparent reason.

My experience on any Delta flight is always overshadowed by the time Delta removed me from a flight for no apparent reason.

There was no problems, just a little uncomfortable with seats that do not lay back a little

Good flights. On time. They had a gluten free snack option which was nice

Delta is my preferred airline. I've traveled with them for years. On time in most cases, good communication, easy to use app. Most planes are pretty nice. I was on a CRJ 700/900 however, which was pretty badly aged inside and needed a refresh. No infotainment, unreliable wifi, best to download before boarding or bring a book. Food choices are really just snacks on this flight, nice variety but about what you'd expect. Great staff and prompt in departure and early arrival too. Overall quite satisfied.

A little bumpy ride . No food was being provided due the the turbulence. That was ok it was a short flight to my standards.

Boarding in Amsterdam is always chaotic. KLM/ Delta has not streamlined or made it efficient as it was boarding in Detroit . The food was mediocre The crew was unfriendly and more focused on getting things done quickly rather than service with a smile .

Lower number on this flight so spaced out passengers. Able to enjoy more room to relax during flight. It was lovely.

Broken jer bridge. Poor communication about it. Lost 2 of 4 luggage pieces

The seats are uncomfortable and there was no power to recharge a phone.

Coach seating is debilitating, neither my husband or I can walk the following day

Plane was delayed for 6 hours, at first by weather, which is understandable, but was further delayed with NO given reason for 2 1/2 hours more. We had no clue when we were going to depart actually until they opened the ramp. VERY POOR to ZERO COMMUNICATION!!!

Dreadful experience. Our flight was delayed more than 8 hours due to a maintenance issue and the assistance from rebooking was poor. I was travelling with a bad knee and needed assistance waited in one place more than 3 hours before someone came with a wheelchair. The woman next to me was a 91 year old great grandmother who had waited more than 4 hours. There were moments of support from the staff but it appeared as they were going against the direction of management. It was apathy, lack of ownership and dismissive responses with small moments of kindness and understanding typically from grey haired, female, veteran staff..

We had to turn around and head back to Manchester. Problem with a plane engine.

Flight was delayed. Staff at the gate effectively and proactively communicated about the delay.

Very poor delay in dfw was really bad n long

Our flight was 1.5 hours delayed. There was no weather for the inbound flight, so I don't understand why. This meant a VERY late arrival and only a quick nap before my morning flight.

Because of rescheduling, they had to put me on a flight that didn't go through Dallas

It was very difficult to stretch my knee out and I am very short. I also had a torn tendon in my knee which made it extra uncomfortable anyways. My husband is 6'2" and I can't imagine him flying in that plane.

3 hour weather delay followed by 1 hour (and counting) maintenance delay. UGH!

Couldn’t get the door on the plane to close leading to a nearly 2 hour delay. But, hey at least they didn’t cancel the flight.
