NEVER put meds in anything other than carry or death.

I came into Atlanta from France on Delta on Sunday and it was pure chaos, long lines, people sleeping on the floor. The biggest issue I saw was the lack of pilots and flight attendants, as well as gate shortage. I believe they are still working to recover their scheduling systems. My flight was delayed several times, but thankfully I finally got home early Monday morning. Godspeed to Delta’s staff and all the customers who’ve been affected.

Delta needs to just buy people tickets on other airlines.

Delta lawyers preparing to squeeze as much as they can from Crowdstrike.

Cancelled my flight Saturday. Auto-booked me with a connecting flight Monday. 2nd leg delayed, delayed, delayed and cancelled after 10hours of waiting at the gate. In a strange city where I know no one and they stopped handing out hotel vouchers.

Why are people checking medication still? Like come on

American Airlines is like that as well. Our flights kept getting delayed and cancelled. It’s frustrating and we were able to convince the staff we can’t the excuses anymore from them so we were able to snake around for flights. Turns out, most of these flights weren’t listed on booking websites, which was strange. 🤨

My mom had her flight cancelled from New York for multiple days!

[rawforreel]

I've been stuck in Detroit for 4 days becuase of Delta. No help from customer service, no answers, no help. This is insane!!

[eleganttammyh]

So stop sending flights until they can figure it out

[mhockey]

Why is Delta still struggling with this where the other affected carriers have mostly recovered🤷‍♂

[ying-ymut]

How could a ten minutes fix per computer take five days to fix?

How many computers are there? People in Delta know what they are doing?

I had planned my 62nd Birthday in March to fly to New York. My Niece had a Birthday Celebration for me today which is 7/23 Happy Birthday to me🎉 🎂 🎈 Also was visiting Washington DC, and see the monuments and other attractions as well. I was suppose to fly out Friday when the Microsoft Global IG outage hit on Friday. They cancelled, lines was long then. Delta rebooked me for Saturday, got there and they cancelled, Scheduled me for Sunday, they cancelled all flights. I spent over $125.00 just in Lfyt. And never left Dallas. DFW. Thank God my Sister's live in Irving. So frustrating had to go back and forth to the Airport to find out Not going anywhere. I'm Blessed I had food, roof over my head, and a bed to sleep in. I'm Praying for all the passengers that is still stuck in airports all over the world 🌎 Delta this is just unacceptable😠😡People have missed summer vacations for them and children, we've missed Birthdays, Anniversaries, Family Reunions, and unfortunately Funerals, I had talked to alot of people in those 3 days. And it's just so Sad. Standing in long lines. Days in a roll, had to go threw Security as well. I'm Praying that everyone can get back home safely. This has been horrible🛫Delta! And my heart really goes out to the Children stuck at these airports. Delta everyone is not Rich, and people just spending money for necessities. I will rebook my trip in about a month. But I'm booking with another airline. Sending My hugs and Prayers to Everyone🤗Blessings Alway😍 I'm driving back home today. And my Family is taking me to Texas Brazil Restaurant later today. Thanking God ✨🙏 I'm Safe, and will be home tonight in my own bed. What A HOT MESS, this had been. I'm definitely trying to stay positive, because I have that Good Vibe Spirit. ❤Thanks for your time everyone. That reading this.

Always pack the meds you need in a carry-on

EB is a $34 million 🤡. The last 2 years on Delta has been constant mistakes by a CEO that doesn’t realize that his company is based on customer service. Total failure for years now.

[javindean]

I thought they were "the best?" I'll stick with United.

[LaNikiOfficial]

Dude, I'm getting married next week, in Dominican Republic I pray to God my flight is on time plus I Start my NEW JOB while Im away omg 😢

[TheBlargMarg]
