Denver
Richard F.

Normally I have nothing but good things to say about Delta, but in Detroit the gate staff was awful. We were late arriving due to a storm system around Detroit that delayed our arrival. We had a very tight connection and we were told that our connecting flight to Denver would be protected, but when we arrived at the gate I asked a Red Coat for help getting to our connection. All she would say is you're too late and there's nothing I can do. According to my watch we had 20 minutes to get to the departing gate. our wheel chair pushers said we could make it. We ended up catching a flight 3 hours later and had to sit in coach rather than comfort that I had pair for. that's the last time i take a flight that connects in Detroit.

Baggage  claim in Tampa

Located in the Detroit Metropolitan Airport, McNamara terminal, this airport is huge. The baggage check went fairly smooth, we went to the gold member check in by mistake but the checked us in regardless. The TSA portion also went fairly smooth, only about 10-15 minutes to get through the checkpoint. Boarding the plane was organized and also went smoothly even though the plane was filled to capacity. The flight to Tampa, FL left on time and only took a little over 2 hours. We departed the plane and by the time we got to baggage claim our suitcases were ready. Over all a great flying experience.

I had a great travel experience flying into and out of DTW. On the way home I had a medical issue and needed to arrange travel assistance. They had a very visible station to check in at in the terminal. They provided excellent service. I give high marks to Delta on this trip. They did a great job assisting me in getting to my gate. So grateful. Good to know help is available when needed.

I haven't flown Delta in a long time. I actually really enjoyed it. We took Delta from Las Vegas to Detroit and the flight was around four and a half hours. I saw a sign that said they were America's most awarded airline. They offer free Wi-Fi for Skymiles members. You can sign up for free and earn miles. They also pass out free head phones to use to watch movies or to play games on the touchscreen TV in front of you. They also gave out snacks and drinks. I picked out Sun Chips and a juice. Service was pleasant. However, the seats were kind of tight for my husband and he was complaining. That's to be expected though, because he's on the taller side, so no leg room.

I've been a loyal Delta flyer for years, and I know I can always count on them to get me to my destination comfortably and safely. They have the best amenities in the biz, with Starbucks coffee and Biscoff cookies (the first airline to do them, anyway). Any issue I have ever had on Delta, they have made it right in one way or another (miles, coupons, partial credit, etc). I'm not expecting anything in return for a complaint/suggestion, but I like that Delta actually responds and says they will investigate the issue or just that they're confirm they have read my message. Other airlines I've alerted of issues with flights have mostly just never responded at all. Delta has great service for long haul flights, and are one of the airlines that have the only one-stop international options from my hometown of Omaha. If you're looking for a trusted legacy carrier with comfort and class, Delta is an excellent option.

Worst airline experience ever. Had an international flight with a layover at JFK. While on the international flight, received notification that the connecting flight was canceled and rebooked for the following morning (16 hours later). After 2 phone calls and 1 visit to counter, received a hotel and a ride to and from hotel but still had to wait until next morning for flight. Arrived at airport at 3:45am for flight. Checked bags, had a boarding pass with assigned seat for the 6:25am flight out. At 5:12am, received an email stating that the confirmation was canceled and that Delta did not have us on a flight and to contact service for rebooking. So basically they removed us from the flight after assigning a seat. Another trip to the counter to be told they can put us on standby for a 9:50am flight. Then have to go to customer service to locate baggage once we arrive at final destination. So it's a prayer that our luggage even arrives at our final destination at this point. Sit and wait an additional 3 hours at the airport for a standby flight now. We were Delta Comfort+ tickets but now standby and will be sitting in main cabin without any compensation. Will NOT be flying with Delta again. Their agents had no solutions and no compensation provided for any of the changes, inconveniences, time lost, downgrades of seats, etc. Delta is not as good as Spirit or JetBlue at this point and don't give a damn about their customers.

Flight,  time, date etc.

Highly disappointed, sat on the tarmac for 1:45 minutes due to weather missed my connecting flight in L.A to Portland (bags in L.A. and I am in Orlando with a 1 way $80 Uber ride back home...and if things couldn't get worst we had to walk from the Delta terminal to baggage claim...Thanks Delta..ruined my entire weekend

Empty bin space

Delta lies - 1-carry on does not exist. Gate attendant said no space available for 1 bag. Completely disappointed. Would not recommend Delta to family or friends. DL 1776 Tampa to Detroit 8.14.2005 10:30 departure is late as well.

My flight to London leaving out of Detroit was very good. The Delta flight staff had my special meal ready. There was enough space on plane for me to stretch out on the international flight. It hardly made it for like 7 hour flight.

My Favorite Airport to Fly Out Of!…read more Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) is my go-to airport whenever I travel, and I absolutely love flying Delta! Being one of Delta's major hubs, DTW makes traveling convenient, and I've always had great experiences flying out of here. The airport is spacious, clean, modern, and well-organized. There's a great variety of restaurants, shops, and places to relax before catching a flight. I especially appreciate how easy it is to navigate the McNamara Terminal, even though it's quite large! I've flown out of DTW many times, and it's always a pleasure. From the airport atmosphere to the convenience of flying Delta, it's a great way to start a vacation! DTW continues to be my favorite airport, and Delta remains my airline of choice! Looking forward to many more trips!

I would like to express my disappointment with the customer service I experienced in the baggage…read morescreening area at Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW). An employee with the last name Orso displayed an unnecessarily rude attitude and a cold, unprofessional demeanor during the interaction. Customer service and professionalism should be a standard expectation, regardless of the time of day. It was approximately 9:00 a.m., and there was absolutely no reason for passengers to be met with such an unpleasant attitude. Travelers deserve to be treated with basic courtesy, respect, and professionalism, especially when navigating airport security and baggage screening. I understand that airport staff work in demanding environments, but that does not excuse poor customer service or a dismissive attitude toward passengers. A simple, respectful interaction can make a significant difference in the overall travel experience. DTW, please address these customer service concerns and reinforce the importance of professionalism, courtesy, and respect among your staff. Passengers should not have to deal with unnecessary hostility when simply trying to get through the airport. Please do better.

I very much appreciated the flight detail confirmation text and email leading up to my flight with…read moreAmerican Airlines. The confirmations not only reminded me of the actual time of my flight, but when I could check-in, and gate changes as well! Based on previous flight experiences, I downloaded the mobile application which provided me with leeway prior to my arrival at Evans terminal - Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW). As someone who not only had just a carry-on bag with me, but had to drop off a rental car as well; the mobile application provided me with my boarding pass and allowed me to check-in ahead of time and head straight to TSA rather than to see an American Airlines agent. As for my airport experience, TSA was expectedly crowded, but the line moved at a very acceptable pace! The only things I removed were my shoes, belt, jacket, half marathon medal, and my obsidian bracelet and ring placing each item inside of my bag or backpack. And I had no issues whatsoever when going through the body scanning machine because I had removed everything I forementioned. The American Airlines gate was easy to locate within Evans terminal; it appeared professional, even with some of its hidden flaws like USB and charging outlets that do not work. Now, the boarding process felt painless for this flight back to Chicago, even being part of boarding group 9 which boards last! It was a very organized process unlike my experience boarding with the American Airlines in Philadelphia Pennsylvania which reminded me of flying with Spirit Airlines, tehehe, but I digress! While onboard the flight, I relaxed since the flight was short from Detroit, Michigan to Chicago, Illinois. The only communication I had with the flight attendants was the boarding flight hello, and the airplane departure "thank you" and "goodbye" greeting. As for the airplane interior, I loved that the seat was spacious enough to where I could adjust myself while seated. I had an acceptable amount of foot space to where my military-style backpack could fit underneath the seat in front of me. And I was grateful to have a USB and charging outlet within the seat area in order to charge my cell phone because the last thing I wanted was to have a dead cell phone prior to arriving at my destination. In closing, I am open to choosing and recommending American Airlines to a friend, relative or colleague after this experience. Safe travels, and blessings to all that read this review. ~Blessings~ Thomas G

In the end it worked out, but this story is mind-blowing. I went to check in online for my flight,…read more24 hours ahead of time. There was an option to pay $15 more per person for expedited security. I hesitated because there are four in my family, but paid to have peace of mind. I printed the boarding passes. When we got to TSA Pre-check, I showed the boarding passes and they said I had to return to the check-in counter to get a sticker or stamp. I did and they said that the airport (Detroit International) was "too small" for JetBlue to have this feature (even though this is a huge hub for many airlines)! But, I could call JetBlue and get a refund - no problem. (This made no sense!) We ran to the regular Security, at the other end of the terminal. When I called JetBlue, the first agent told me that I couldn't get a refund because we had already used the tickets (!) - i.e. that we hadn't made the call (which took 30 minutes) before going through Security (!), but we could get a JetBlue credit on a future flight. I asked to speak with the manager and spoke with two managers, and the 2nd manager said she couldn't change the policy and actually hung up on me (!). I called back and was greeted courteously and the matter was taken care of. The agent said I would get a refund and even apologized for the drama (!). Persistence pays off, but what kind of customer service is this?

TravisNovi Just Now…read moreWorst experience I have ever had on an airline. And I have flown for work all over the world in my 30+ years as an electronics engineer. JET Blue is HORRIBLE! 3 days in a row our flight from Detroit to Fort Lauderdale was canceled due to NO workers! IT WAS OUR HONEYMOON and told the staff at DTW so. In hopes they would help in SOME way. They laughed and said "This is how we do it here" as if reciting a rap song. The People working at the gate were the most unprofessional people I had EVER seen in this industry. There was 5 or 6 of them standing there doing nothing but talking underneath their breath about us. My wife heard "She can't even be sad; she has too much Botox" and all laughed. I did not here this or might have gotten bad! Again, it was our honeymoon, so keeping a smile on my face to not upset my wife. I asked Is there ANYTHING you can do to help us.. As my wife was crying and it was the second day, we were told, check our email, you were rebooked for the next day. We were going to the Bahamas, so was not that easy to just wait till the next day for a flight. No compassion, no I'm sorry, No, let me try to find something...... Just No. Out entire honeymoon was ruined JUST because of Jet Blue and the completely RUDE and useless staff. The sweet lady at American Airlines was MUCH more helpful and tried to help more than JB. The absolute worst part was seeing my wife broken hearted as she been waiting for this since she was a little girl. At 46 we expected some help and got 0. We sat home for a week upset over this and just could not believe what just happened. In this day and age, where customer service should be somewhat helpful as everything is outsourced or done my nonhumans, you would think "We do have a chance for a positive outcome." Totally crushed solely by JET BLUE!!! Thanks. Travis T. travisnovi gmail
