REFUND

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Updated by user Aug 21, 2024

I spoke to someone at Delta today about putting in a claim for my suitcase. Did anyone else know that they only give you 24 hours to report it or they won’t give you the money for a replacement?

I tried calling them about it when we got back to the hotel that day, the hold time was OVER 2 HOURS LONG! I explained this to her and she had me go on Delta.com and submit a complaint that way and hope they respond back to me. One way or another, they will pay me for the suitcase their baggage handlers damaged because they have no respect for anyone else’s things, and they also owe me the extra we had to pay for our rental car and hotel because of them! They made absolutely no effort to try and resolve the situation after it happened, their employees were rude.

One thing I would like to know is how Delta is still in business and how they are still so expensive? Since this whole thing happened, I’ve heard nothing but bad reviews about Delta from everyone I talk to about it and that isn’t good!

Original review Aug 16, 2024
I had a flight scheduled for me and my family on August 3rd 2024. I understand weather can cause delays and cancellations, but if that WAS the case, we were never notified about why we were delayed or why it was ultimately cancelled, and when we went to get some answers, the employee at the desk walked away because her shift was over.

I asked an employee about comping us a hotel room because we didnt have a ride home, and he told me they couldnt do that because it was weather related so thats not their fault, so they dont have to pay I finally talked to an employee about a new flight to Florida even if it had to leave from a different airport, they got me, my boyfriend, and my son on one out of Newark, and our friend on one out of JFK, but because we were 24 hours late for our rental car pickup, they canceled our reservation, never gave us the money back to hold it, and we had to book another one that was more expensive because it was day of. We had a fee because we checked in late at our hotel as well.
Then I finally get to Florida and they lost mine and my boyfriends suitcase and my sons booster seat. We were told when we got rebooked, that they where going to take the first flight out of LaGuardia to Florida the next morning and we would meet it down there, well they never put it on the plane! It took 2 days to arrive, had to buy clothes for the next couple days so we could shower and change after 24 hours in an airport.

I did submit a claim for that, havent heard back yet, but I saw online they think only $50 a day is going to clothe 2 full grown adults and thats just crazy. But my brand new suitcase is also missing a wheel now because the luggage handlers are jerks. I havent been able to get ahold of anyone to explain this and get that report out in as well.

$175, used for the first time, and cant be used anymore! All in all, I will never be using Delta again, and I am also going to make sure all my friends and family know not to use you as well.

Mistakenly taken luggage

Delta Airlines - Mistakenly taken luggage - Image 2

My luggage was lost before my flight departure. The personnel from Midland Airport, Delta Air Lines that is responsible for handling the luggage placed my bag in a different plane.

I arrived at my final destination frustrated and also my luggage didn't arrive.

I reported this imediately in the next Airport that I landed, but of course my problem wasn't solved. I have important things in that baggage and everybody's says that it's not missing if 21 days didn't past.

Seriously?! My stuff is not with me, my stuff is missing to me and also no compensation it's applied even if I paid a lot for the weight of the baggage to be transported.

I recently traveled on Delta. They lost my new suitcase for three days when I received it, the zipper was broken, items were missing. Delta refused to reimburse me for the damages or loss.

Delta Airlines - I recently traveled on Delta. They lost my new suitcase for three days...

I returned from an overseas trip on Delta Airlines. My bag was delayed.

It was a new Samsonite suitcase.

When I received the bag three days late, the zipper was broken, the bag was taped, items were hanging out the side, and several items were stolen including a bottle of brandy, a Kindle and a book of art prints. When I followed up with Delta about this, despite photos of the suitcase with Delta tape around it, they denied my claim and provided no reimbursement.

My sons 2 fishing poles were delayed in our flight from Columbus to Baton Rouge. Was not informed that the poles were there.

Paid 90.00 total round trip for these poles and the container as well as the poles were cracked off at the end. Handlers put a note in container that said damaged rods. They covered the end with a piece of cardboard that said rush on it.

When picked up 2 weeks later, was not informed they were damaged. Files a claim once we realized they were broken and itvwas denied for the time.

Delta is being used to scam consumers

Delta Airlines - Delta is being used to scam consumers

On June 12, 2024, I attempted to book airfare with fareodaddy.com. They quoted a price of $237.35 roundtrip.

I tried for over 2 hours to talk with their 'live' help. I was asked for the booking ID number but after I provided the number, they never returned to the chat. I still had not received a confirmation. The next morning, after checking email for my flight confirmation, I was compelled to call the site admins because the site's email for help was conveniently not working.

I finally managed to speak with a man from the site, who asked again for the booking number. He checked and came back to say that the girl who was supposed to book my flight had called in sick and therefore my 'discounted' ticket had not been purchased. And of course, all the discounted tickets were gone, and they would have to book me @ $777.00! I told him absolutely not!

I asked him to cancel my booking! He refused, saying that I was not allowed to cancel my booking with them, even though my flight had never been booked. I asked him multiple times to cancel my booking, and he said their site stated no cancellations on the bookings. I told him the site also said our credit card wouldn't be charged until the booking was confirmed, which it never was.

He continued to yell and tried to talk over me. He offered me another flight and asked if I could pay $400-$500? I responded with an absolute 'NO'. If I couldn't get the price originally offered, he should please cancel my booking!

He eventually said he couldn't cancel it and that some girl would call me back within 30 minutes to cancel. She never called. I was finally forced to contact my credit card company, cancel, and reissue my credit card. This site lists all flights at seemingly a $500 discount and then something always happens, and they can't follow through on the price quoted initially.

This site is a SCAM! Consumers should BEWARE. They list only Delta on their site for all their flights. As of yesterday they had all Delta flights round trip listed from $186.00-206.00.

I spoke with a lady @ Delta customer service yesterday on chat, and she didn't seem concerned about it.

You may not be either, but I thought you should know. I filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission against this website.

Preferred solution: I didn't get anything. Just wanting to warn Delta and consumers about the bad business practices of Fareodaddy.com.

Very poor customer service and cabin attendant, no air conditioning in delayed departure. Very bad luggage handling by ground crews and extremely bad approach into Mexico City and rough landing.

On flight 585 from Atlanta to Mexican city on the 5/24/2024 I was seating at 22F and looking outside and seeing the ground luggage handler tossing and dropping suitcases all over the places and one just picking up and the other kept on going. Hot cabin , NO AC , delayed departure and bad cab attendant and very bad approach and very rough approach and landings , bouncing few times on landing and almost hydroplaning off the runway scared the daylight out of everyone on board.

Crying and praying passengers and screaming too. No more Delta for us. My luggage is damaged as well.

What happened to the famous Delta airlines of the past. I am a retired aviation pilot myself and am very concerned about the future of the best airlines if the past .

I have tried reaching out to Delta in several ways but talking with a human is almost impossible. I booked a flight on 7/26/24.

Delta double charged my debit card $375.95.

I was finally able to text chat with a Delta Rep on 8/3/24 & after her due diligence she confirmed what I said was accurate & stated the charge would fall off my account within 48-72 hours. It has been 23-days & the $375.95 credit has never been processed.

Delta sucks

Delta Airlines - Delta sucks

We had a flight scheduled for 7:59 pm and they kept delaying it without any explanation as to why. Then, after hours of sitting and waiting, and after watching 3 other flights take off, they canceled our flight.

The attendant that was helping the customers whose flight had been canceled found new ones, decided her shift was done so she just left, and never sent someone else to take over answering questions to the line of customers in front of her. Delta then gave all of the flights away to customers when we booked these tickets months ago, and also had hotel and car rental reservations, and Universal tickets that we can't even get our money back for. Delta now owes me over $2,000 for my vacation since I also called the helpline that I found online and the first time I got someone, she put me back on hold after I sat there for an hour and 45 minutes; then the second time I got someone, he hung up on me after he told me I had to call someone else to help with my request because he couldn't do it.

I had been on hold for 2 hours at this point. I will be calling my lawyer on Monday to draw up paperwork to sue Delta and their unacceptable excuse for customer service I've ever seen in my life.

The attendant didn’t “decide” her shift was over. She is hourly and it was quitting time.

It is also not her job to locate her replacement. I can see how you got nowhere with your poor attitude.

She did actually. I work hourly as well, if it’s busy and I need to stay then I do.

It was her job, and she also told the entire line of people waiting that she was going to get someone. Every single person in line was pissed that she literally just left. And it’s not like she did it quietly, she was rude about it, so yeah, you’re damn right I have an attitude. My 7 year old son was sleeping on a nasty *** carpet that they never clean, my family was stuck in the airport for 12 hours before it got figured out, and we didn’t make it down to Florida until a full 24 hours after we were scheduled too.

I lost car rentals, I had to pay late fees at the hotel, and also had to cancel about half of my other reservations because of the airline.

Don’t sit here and defend something you have no idea about because you weren’t there. I have never in my life had a problem at an airport or with an airline like I did with delta and LaGuardia

Terrible flight connection

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I should connect the Delta flight ticket number: 006-63******** to PHX Airport. I arrived at gate B at Seattle Airport, but the gate never opened.

Then, Delta personnel told me there was no flight and that I had missed it. She couldn't even explain why the gate never opened, but the flight had already departed.

It was a very terrible flight connection experience and your staff displayed an extremely rude service attitude. Plus, I paid a lot of money.

Where is my full refund for my tickets from the Dominican Republic??????????

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

My wife and I purchased a vacation package to Punta Cana from July 18-23, 2024. We desired better seating, so we decided to purchase first-class and Delta comfort seats.

On July 22, a day before we were supposed to leave Punta Cana, Delta canceled our flight. After returning home, I spoke to Delta about refunding the unused portion of the flight and deducting it from my loan with Uplift. In response to the ridiculous email I received on 8/12/24 stating I was issued a refund of $770.15, this is definitely not what I expected from a major airline. It's insulting that you actually think two people can fly first-class from Punta Cana to San Antonio for $385 each.

I'm now not only requesting a FULL REFUND for my canceled return ticket, but, since my first-class 70lb baggage weight allowance couldn't be used, I had to pay $200 to Southwest Airlines. We scrambled to get tickets for another flight which cost us $1200 for a one-way trip back to San Antonio.

Therefore, I suggest this matter is resolved, or I will speak to my attorney regarding legal action. I will also ask the court for you to pay ALL legal fees that will come from this Delta debacle.

Delayed bag, poor customer service

I was traveling First Class from Santa Barbara, CA through Salt Lake City, Flt 1810, to Minneapolis, Flt 2924, on August 22nd. I checked 1 bag tag number 400691****.

I had a delayed flight in SLC which pushed layover from 2 1/2 hours to 3 hours.

That left me little time to make my medical appointment in Mlps.

My bag did not arrive in MSP! I called Delta and was told the bag was on the plane. I said that wasnt possible since the plane had landed and everyone else had received their bags. I then went to Delta Customer Service in the baggage claim area and was told the same thing the bag was on the plane.

I repeated that didnt make sense and received a shrugged shoulder as a response.

I didnt have time to wait as I needed to get to my already pushed medical appointment, so I left MSP airport. I called after my appointment and got the same message the bag was on the plane.

After some research, I discovered my bag was not on my plane, flt 2924, but had been put on the next flight from SLC, Flt 2936. They had 3 hours to get my bag onto the right plane!!

That meant I had to go back to the airport in rush hour traffic to retrieve my bag. When I went to customer service again, I was simply told to call Delta Customer Service.

I asked for delayed bag points and was basically ignored.

At the very least, I should receive my 2500 points, but this goes way beyond a slightly late bag. This was time and angst in an already stressful day.

In addition, a First Class customer flies first class and pays more to receive the attention and help necessary in these situations.

I am requesting flight or point compensation for all the trouble and inconvenience I experienced because Delta didnt get my bag onto the right plane. A response to this email would also be appreciated.

Your disappointed customer,

Peggy

I regret to inform you of the flight attendant's behavior. She did not assist me, but instead had me removed from the plane.

I had requested a mask because someone was coughing behind me on the plane today. This cost me money, as she, perhaps upset about something else, took it out on me.
