DELTA AIRLINE REVIEWS:

  • Cynthia Kressin:

We had very good customer service on our recent trip to Tampa! I was worried about traveling in light of the negative publicity surrounding different airlines, especially traveling with a 5-year-old, a 2-year-old and infant. Allowing us to board first and get settled was very helpful as well as allowing us to check car seats, strollers at no cost. But the best part was when we were coming back and my 2-year-old grandson had had enough refusing to buckle, wanting to get out of his seat, etc. A lady sat beside him and held his hand and talked with him, got him cookies and juice, showed him pictures of her children while we were taking off and landing. She was so good and sweet with him! Really made our trip home less stressful and more enjoyable!

  • Andrea Hatfield:

I flew from Fayetteville to Minneapolis. Actually, I arrived at the airport with a broken ankle. I was dreading my flight to Minneapolis. I was pleased by the services of the attendants. After we board in the aircraft, we were met by a steward who made us feel very welcome and was so helpful. Even during the flight, the experience was very nice. The plane was beautiful- very clean and well maintained. The flight was on time and smooth plus the captain was great about keeping us informed! Thank you so much for such a pleasant surprise trip!

  • J Jerviss:

Excellent service from ground staff. They use your name when scanning your boarding pass and I noticed they used everyone’s surnames. It was pretty impressive. Onboard flight attendants were warm and cheerful. All flight attendants greeted me including those preparing the galley. The seat was a lie-flat with a Westin pillow and duvet, each individually wrapped. Great selection of movies, TV shows games and music. Slept for most of the trip but woke for the landing service. I had beef bourguignon along with the mashed potatoes. Delicious! They also had ‘laksa noodles’ which smelled good as well. Bathrooms clean and I like the blue LED mood lighting inside. Way to go Delta! It was the best international service from a US carrier so far.
