Don't remember
I am writing to express my concern regarding a significant delay I experienced on DL0049 from AMS to JFK on Dec, 4th 2024. Arrival time at destination was 4:52pm (local time). My flight was delayed by over 3 hours due to mechanical issues with the airplane, which caused considerable inconvenience and disruption to my travel plans. As the delay was substantial and caused by factors within your control, I would like to request a refund for the affected flight. I believe this is a fair request given the extended delay and the mechanical issues that caused the disruption. I appreciate your attention to this matter and would be grateful for your prompt assistance in processing my refund. Should you need any further details regarding my flight or booking, please let me know. Thank you for your understanding.- Amsterdam-New York

Technical problems
Airline did not post mandatory EU compensation guidelines publicly for passengers. Airline offered 10,000 miles which has a monetary value far below 600 euros and the days long delay it took me to arrive to my destination for work, missed an entire day of work, meetings and lost out on business opportunities because of this more than 8 hour delay. Airline denied on two occasions my request for compensation based on European rights and failed to provide requested information or substantiate appropriately the delay, which they said was due to “technical issues” (proof attached) which to me means it was a plane issue and is covered under EU regulations. Various documents are attached with correspondences.- Lisbon-New York

Wasn't informed of the cancellation before I had already started my travels. Took several hours in Amsterdam to re-book the following day. Although I did receive hotel accommodations and a meal voucher, I was unfortunately left with with no luggage as the customer service agent stated that the luggage was already in transit and would transferred automatically to Boston which was my final destination. Here I am 2 days later and still no luggage. I am on vacation with no luggage which is totally unacceptable. I hope that this is soon rectified and I not only receive compensation for the day delay in getting to my destination, but that my luggage is recovered and brought to me soonest.- Amsterdam-Boston

Cost for heavy baggage
I am flying home today on a direct flight from LAX to RDU. My bag was 8lbs over the weight, I expected to pay extra for the weight, I did not expected to pay almost 3 times the cost of a 50lb baggage. This is gregarious and feels like price gouging. Before coming to the airport I tried to find out the cost of the heavy bag. Had I known it would cost me an extra $100 for 8lbs I would have purchased extra luggage and paid the $45 fee.- Los Angeles-Raleigh-durham

I left my computer on the plane and the delta staff were bad
I left my computer on the plane. When I got to security I realized it. I went to the delta loss department. I showed them my find my app which located my computer on the plane. they were ineffective at finding it, and basically lacked care and compassion and said, 'well you left it there!" I tracked my computer back to Amsterdam airport. It took 2 weeks and lots of persistence and it was located ( although i haven't received it yet). I had to pay 186 for it to be sent back. I think Delta should pay that to me. And it is very hard to find out who to talk to. I had two delta employees who were very rude to me.- Amsterdam-Salt Lake City

This black flight attendant in coach. Approached me very rudely as if she already had a bad day. She ignored me giving her trash, did not offer snacks, ignored me completely and addressed my husband who was right next to me.

Long delay DCA
We were heavily delayed and on and off the plane due to Delta over fueling the plane the pilot told us we had to sit on the runway and burn fuel for 2 hours, within this time a storm came which then delayed us further. We were constantly given 20 minute intervals which we eventually took off 4 hours later. We boarded and deboarded the flight a few times. Due to this 4 hour delay we arrived at Salt Lake after our rental car company was closed which caused us to not have a rental car for the evening causing us to pay for an uber to our hotel then uber back to the airport the following morning to get our rental. If we had an accurate time of when we were going to leave this could have been avoided. We asked if we could rebook the flight and were told not to as they couldn't guarantee us a spot on a flight and we were basically forced to sit at the airport on the runway for hours while the pilot fixed the over fueling error.- Washington-Salt Lake City

Flight cancelled without notification
I had a reservation along with three of my family members. When I was supposed to do my check-in 24 hours before my flight, and I had to do it just following standard practice, and because I never received an email with a reminder, I went ahead. To my surprise, the flight was cancelled and departed the day before, and I never received an email stating that the flight was cancelled. Now I have to be okay because you said I received an email. I asked for proof when I submitted a claim, and I have had no answer so far because you closed my case.

Because of family emergency, this 12 hour wait was impossible.

We did EXACTLY what we were told and now Delta has refused to compensate for the extra $737.20 that was spent.

Technical problems
After boarding the Delta plane to NYC in Barcelona on Wed, July 10, we were informed of a mechanical problem with our plane. We waited on board over 2 hours (I watched an entire movie!) and then we were asked to exit the airplane. The flight was cancelled. We had to claim our baggage and stay overnight. We were transported to a mediocre hotel 1.5 hours away in Santa Susana. The hotel provided awful leftover food. Delta rebooked us on another flight from Barcelona to NYC the next day. The next morning, Thurs, June 11, we traveled 1.5 hours back to the airport and checked in. The flight was delayed several times and and ultimately cancelled. Delta had us transported us to a better hotel closer to the airport with better food but this time did not rebook our flight, recommending that we make our own alternative travel arrangements. So we booked a flight for the next day Fri, June 12 to Los Angeles via London on British Airways. We finally arrived at LAX at 3:00 PM (PST) on June 12... two days later than our original arrival time.- Barcelona-Los Angeles

They provided us with 11 Euro as a food stipend (which did not even cover half of our expenses). They tried to re-route us to Amsterdam then Copenhagen, and we were told we could not get on the next available direct flight (at 12:50pm) because it was oversold.

Flight DL 1290. Unprofessional air staff member
Staff member REES on this flight is very unprofessional and has an nasty attitude towards customers. I was acknowledged with " What's up" when I asked her an question regarding ear buds for my niece. Your staff member did ask us for ear buds which I initially stated "NO" I did not need any. My 8 yr old niece then asked if she could have a pair. So REES came back pass and was asked, she then turned around with "What's up and baby girl I asked if you wanted a pair and you said "No". Im all out of them, I mean". Along with that statement she was shrugging her shoulders and rolling her eyes. Children change their minds constantly this she knows because she works with the public and many kids. However what I am righting can never amount to what I've experience with her tone of voice and the way it was said. This is unacceptable. She only needed to say we are all out. That I can understand. I do not understand professional unprofessional people who has this kind of job around people daily. Just imagine whom else has to experience this. Even another customer stopped me as we left the plane in the airport speaking on her unprofessionalism. Delta represent differently so your advertisement states, not only the amount of money my family spent to decide to fly with Delta. She also stated on the speaker phone of the cabin to not like her if you need something, because she was not a pin cushion. Who does all of this? No people should not like you yet people do because it is a way of getting someone's attention in a harmless way. I understand we all have bad days and may not feel well at times, but we have to try to clean it up for our customers. This staff member needs educated on what company she represents and also on how to be respectful when engaging with customers or else she is going to hurt your company due to being a staff member on many of your flights- Cincinnati-Atlanta
