Delta Is DESTROYING Every Other Airline. Here’s How
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 мар 2023
- From Delta receiving several awards to adding unbelievable features to their planes, here’s how Delta is destroying every other airline.
And to start with, Delta topped the charts as the most on-time airline in 2022. Unlike most airlines that constantly get delayed, Delta recorded an 84.1% on-time arrival, making punctuality a priority.
Now that’s Impressive!
But this wasn’t only what the airline did right. Cuz Delta also rewarded some enticing upgrades to its customers, which simply put, are just beautiful!

That was the longest Delta airlines commercial ever
Yeah ... but who would have thought that raising prices and cutting on miles benefits would bring in more profit.
Methinks you didn’t watch this “commercial” in it’s entirety, because it definitely was critical of Delta.
“Boeing has added features, some you might think are a bit weird”
Right…
I took a long haul to the Philippines. During the return layover in Korea, the pilot noticed a problem with the mechanics. They worked on getting it fixed, but ended up canceling the flight. We were one of the last flights out of the night. They worked on getting us a hotel stay in Korea, handed us a type-written sheet apologizing by the time we de-planed. The next morning when they got a new plane, we were given free breakfast, terminal food vouchers before boarding, and had a snack cart waiting in the gate area, another letter of apology. and doubled my trip miles before I even landed in Atlanta. I'm sticking with them.
Yeah, I had a similar experience--not as drastic, but some problems on my journey. And, like you, Delta had resolved everything and awarded bonus miles before I even landed. They are a class act all the way. On the rare occasion I need to fly with a different airline, I absolutely dread it.
I just came to this video because I was so impressed by them. Storms on the US east coast this weekend. my plane got delayed and so I got rebooked and then the rebook was overbooked. They gave me $900, free hotel, food vouchers, and skymiles. Lifelong customer coming there way!
Most airlines do that it’s in The policy and law in the states
You were on Delta Air Lines going to Manila? Or Korean Air? I didn’t know Delta does Manila
Partner flight. Delta from ATL to Korea, then Korean Air to Manila@@mr.international23
Who could possibly imagine flying from Chicago to Honolulu without a scenic stop in Atlanta
You could also stop in LAX or SLC.
Well they have a TGIF’s and Blue Moon Cafe at Atlanta Airport so it’s good to grab lunch.
Kansas City to détroit to Honolulu
Scenic stop?
KC to Detroit was my last vacation...Where’s your home?
As a Delta 33 year veteran pilot, I have no idea where you are getting your information. You’re not even close.
😂😂😂
Oh my goodness
I bet he is getting it from Delta's sponsorship and marketing teams.... lol....
@ml_g this is Delta propaganda at its finest
@@ml_g they are still a great airline 😂
Maybe as a pilot you could talk to customer no service and ask why I only get .5 ounce of nuts in Premium Select.
A leader in the airline industry and takes care of their passengers and employees! 🏆
Can't complain with Delta when taking them from Paris to Atlanta.
The steward was extraordinary always there to get me what I wanted.
You had a great time I guess. Where are you from buddy?
Did you hook up with him in Paris for a Bud Light?
Due to mechanical issues on one side and them pushing my connecting aircraft back from the gate early on the other side, Delta caused me to miss my connection. However, they did make it right by booking me on a flight out the next day in the same class (I was flying first on that trip) and paid my hotel and meals while I was stuck in my connection city. Overall I think they are a good airline.
Delta's awesome. I was totally fed up with United, switched over to DL, and couldn't be happier. Hands down, best onboard product flying from Hawaii to the mainland and back.
Family Ties
@@AvaCarter-xm4ov , huh?
I’ve never had a problem with United 😟
@@managed9348 , great for you. I've never had a problem with Continental either, until they merged with United. After that it was all downhill. The final straw was last year November when they gave me the hardest time using my miles for an award trip. Numerous calls, attitude by the CSR, and I told them plainly, if you don't want my business, I'll go to your biggest competitor. They told me "go ahead"...so I did just that. I used to have a disdain for DL, because they were Continental's fiercest competitor as far as service. But now I'm glad I'm on their "side". They are a great airline. It's sad, but now I have over 244,000 miles just sitting in my Mileage Plus account.
United has better first class service though
As a frequent flyer of only Delta for the last 10 years, I can tell you I have NEVER spent more than 50k miles for trips, even international comfort+, so the statement of 100k to 500k miles for economy ticket is so off base.
Delta is the best airline in the country. They take care of their customers and employees, and their clubs are fantastic.
As someone who has flown delta a decent amount and I have only gotten delayed once and that was because of a snow storm and out of the big three airlines delta is the only one I would fly with
Positive
We must fly together sometime ?
Keep Climbing Delta.
I started flying with NWA (back in 1993, my college days), and since then only NWA-DELTA now. I always felt safe flying with NWA-DELTA!
I can’t remember the last time I flew anything other than Delta … DTW as my “home” airport makes for a great direct flight almost everywhere
Give Southwest a try bro
same here, except my home airport is ATL so even better haha
@@AvaCarter-xm4ov ...SWA? You mean the company that keeps stranding thousands of passengers due to archaic technology meltdowns?
A lot better than they used to be, that's for sure. American and United are a far cry from their former glory though
Delta is hands down one of the best in terms of US airlines…it’s clean, services are decent. Since they’re the cheapest when flying to the States, I’m pretty satisfied😊
I love Delta Airlines!!!❤
Well, I like Delta but, one thing that really pisses me off about them is that I can’t even access their lounges at all without signing up for their credit card, even if I fly on a short haul international flight now. It really doesn’t help that they devalued their miles so much too. Both of those reasons are why I prefer to avoid Delta at all costs now. Personally I’d prefer to give my loyalty status to Delta because I do live right in a Delta hub (MSP) but, now since I get less than what I’m paying for with them, I won’t fly them. I go take my business elsewhere to Alaska (which has a superior domestic product and loyalty program), American (I have platinum status with them) or United (matching my status with them from American and have a buddy pass for right now).
Think I had same issue. Really sucks! How did you get over it?
I don’t fly Delta, it’s as simple as that
Ill bro...So what’s your favorite airline?
@@AvaCarter-xm4ov well, right now, I’m loyal to American but, tbh my favorite one is between Southwest and Alaska actually. Southwest Airlines’ loyalty program basically acts like a cash back program while I have seen you can get really good award redemptions for tickets on Alaska on any OneWorld partner of Alaska. Due to my loyalty with American, I get the same loyalty benefits on Alaska as I do on American. I would definitely fly both of them a bit more but, they are a bit more expensive to fly on out of here. Plus, Alaska shifts from having 1 to 2 flights a day going to Seattle with a seasonal option to Portland and Anchorage, so due to that, I don’t fly them often out of here, I always have to connect in either DFW, ORD or PHX to fly Alaska.
no you can you just have to buy the membership.
good to know... thx DL.... keep it up !!!
I love to travel with delta.
Did not know Delta was adding these features. And the on-time arrival percent. Also, thanks for making great content like this! Keep it up!
It’s indeed amazing. What are some features you love?
Arrive alive is better than any on-time records!!!!
How many stations does delta have their own agents doing customer service and ground handling?
Leave out the over the top language, the wing didn’t “burst into flames”, the engine flames out.
I love delta, but unfortunately they are the most expensive airline to fly to Asia, and Detroit is the most expensive city to fly to Asia from on Delta. It's cheaper to fly round trip to another city and then fly to Asia from there I really don't understand the ticket prices, I am not alone in this, I know several people that are giving up on flying Delta.
That’s just your situation, gotta pay to play.
@@Cannoli978 LOL Naw, there are way more tricks that you can use. Fly round trip to somewhere else that they fly to cheap and then fly from there where the air fares are 1200.00 less. For flying to asia you can fly to JFK, ATL, ORD, etc etc. or even drive to Grand Rapids and fly from there on the exact same flights plus one more for 800 dollars less.
In general, Delta is also more expensive for Domestic flight.
Favorite airline Delta very impressive For their employees and customers. I will always fly the friendliest sky’s.💯♥️
Nice video very information ❤❤❤
I cant wait to be a pilot! I graduate high school in a month, then i get to study aeronautical science. I hope when I finshing school and training I can work for delta.
My 2012 flight on Delta Atlanta to LAX was one of the most cramped and uncomfortable I have ever experienced.
But those old 738-800 lying between Seattle and Florida. 6 hours, single aisle, 2 back bathrooms, no food, limited beverages. Sometimes no power or individual screens in the back seats
@6:36 "One of the aircraft wings burst into flames!" Yeah, that's exactly what it was.
I booked a trans-Atlantic flight with 137,000 miles. It’s not 500,000 unless you want delta one
I lost my Game Boy Advance flying them, though this was before their overhaul/wavy gravy days.
I found they have the best video selection. i did a Sopranathon.
Living in SLC I always try to fly delta since its a big delta hub, love the airline
Great video!
I didn't know the 20 min bag thing! Well, it seems it takes more than 20 mins just to have them bring my power chair up from the belly of the plane. lol
If only Skyteam was a better airline alliance to be with. DL is very good DOMESTICALLY, but flying outside the US is a pretty rough experience with them (and also, being a high-tier ST member with other airlines will NOT let you enter a Sky Club as easily as a Star Alliance Gold member can enter a United Club)... 😦
I’ve never heard bad things about klm or Air France in general. Nor virgin Atlantic.
I find it to be the opposite...the international service is significantly better compared to domestic on DL. Anything under a certain number of trip miles, and there's just about no food offered, other than snacks. That's true for even first class.
On the other hand, the international service is on par with that on some european carriers such as KL and BA. In DL economy you get a small amenity kit containing eye shades and ear plugs, and a table cloth. I think the latter adds a touch of class. And the meals are just fine.
Which is why delta is trying to compete ONLY on service long haul instead of price and raising prices while keeping the same services domestically and even competing on price.
probably easier to get into the star alliance clubs because they aren't as popular as the delta lounges because of the overcrowding complaints. simple logic
Half of this sadly doesn't work in practice as a customer. I have "tweeted" at delta multiple times and never received a response lol. Baggage doesn't get 2500 miles last time I checked it was 500
i see it's still 2500 miles. go to their website and submit your request or you can call reservations
Question is how would they compete with United? They’ve added more jobs, newer planes to their fleet, and they have more international routes than any other U.S Carrier..?
Did Delta write this???
Nothing against Delta, but jacking up the miles required to fly is a pretty major problem. That said, onboard experience and on-time performance are a big bonus.
I joined the United and Delta (formerly Northwest) frequent flyer programs roughly at the same time. When I caught a United flight back in 2016, the gate agent in San Francisco came rushing after and handed me a card that said, "Thank you for being a United Airlines MileagePlus customer for 25 years. We have upgraded your seat for this flight." Needless to say, that made my day. I took a Delta flight not too long after that, but there was no recognition or anything from the airline. Oh, well...
You are a frequent flyer for both United and Delta geez you must fly every moment of the day to get both. Because it's nearly impossible. If you are going to make a made up story make it believable. Oh well...
@@jamesf791 You must work for Delta.
@@alooga555 actually just an intelligent person who caught you in a fib
@@jamesf791 I wish I could DM the actual card I have
@@jamesf791Intelligent? Right…
Good I love delta everytime I fly with them I have a good experience. One time I got two free jack Daniel's bottles becuase their card reader didn't work.
Delta is by far the best US airline. Love them. I don't get the 100,000 to 500,000 SkyMiles claim, though. That is astronomically high in my experience.
i too think the 500k claim was a bit skewed. i've never seen it that much when i do an internet search
I've flown them all and I like Delta and American the best.
I LOVE Delta!
Me to. I HATE yucknited!!
Delta is the ONLY airline, stateside, with which I can trust to make a connection with a time of an hour or less.
I do it on Southwest constantly. Clearly most on here do not fly Delta through ATL. I would estimate 35% of my Delta flights are delayed there. On my last delay on a Delta flight via ATL, we were treated to a lecture by the captain about why pilots were picketing the Atlanta HQ (failure to adjust schedules to reflect the loss of 3000 pilots after the COVID shutdown). My primary complaint with Delta is the product. Book a first class flight to the west coast and 70% of the flight is on a commuter.
@@franklawson7428 i was delayed from ATL to DEN once for 2 hours because they couldn’t get pilots there on time. otherwise i delta has been great to me
I'd say this depends as much on what airport you're in as what airline you're flying. And I've been screwed over by Delta and American running late and making me miss a connecting flight, with Delta twice in fact. Interestingly, the only one of the major 3 that hasn't blown this so far for me is United, usually considered the worst of the three.
@@franklawson7428 i've done my research. delta has a much larger network to cover than southwest. apples and oranges bruh
Delta has to give big raises because they cut pay years ago, so they really are just resetting wages to what they should be. I don't think they're the only airline to do this either, but if you ask pilots, it'll be more of "it's about time" instead of "hurray!"
Pilots are too picky. Though we do have to put up alot up front to get there, there does need to be return on investment at some point.
Out of all the airlines delta pays there employs the least.
@@psycoape5753 bruh.... this is false... stop lying lol
cut pay? where are you finding this information...? interesting
@@psycoape5753 it's actually the opposite; they pay the most
I pretty much stopped flying Delta cause they ruined the miles program. They're asking WAYYYY too many miles for trips now. I've converted to United and I'm pretty happy, we'll see how long this lasts cause these Airlines keep getting greedier and greedier.
I can tell you right now there is no conceivable way an economy ticket would cost 500K miles.
You do know other airlines to a LOT of the same things......right ?
Respect 👍
Pay employees well and take care of customers? What a bold business strategy? I'm shocked (not shocked) this is paying off.
Delta’s Long Beach to Utah has the worst rude flight attendants!
That route is actually operated by SkyWest, not Delta. The crew & plane are from SkyWest.
I ❤ Delta.
Still flying older planes other than the (A350), but love those united 787’s
We’ve added over 200 Airbus A321’s to the fleet and counting with Brand new A321NEO’s, A220’s and A330 NEO’s. Our A220’s will phase out the 717’s over time. The A321’s will phase out the 757’s and the A330’s will phase out the 767’s.
@@dougmitchell20 yeah but they only have a hand full of the new a330-900neos not enough to replace the old 330’s.
I hate those crammed Boeing’s. The delta A350 is more comfortable and you don’t get treated horrible by the worst staff on united!
@@maxsaviation9512 dude that happened like 5 years ago and I’m sure delta doesn’t have the same problems. Probably with delta they don’t have enough of them the 787 have way out sold them they all have issues. Delta is just to cheap to spend money and they use more JV to fly internationally that’s why they have to pay their pilots more to be happy. United 787-71 planes vs delta 21 a350 they have a long way to go.
767-300 = 2-3-2
Delta butchered our flight to Europe last summer so bad I had to file a complaint with DOT , after DOT contacted them they did work with us on the issue , and we finally made it to Europe , on the way back to US I somehow end up blacklisted on “terrorist” list which caused unreal inconvenience and stress , I think someone in Delta put my name in the computer because I contacted DOT , however we’re flying to Europe again this summer , but not with Delta , I made that sure, and I’ll make sure we never fly Delta again
Comical story...too bad this is not true
How much farecompare to other?
Read the title and immediately played this scenario in my head
Delta pilot: “Hey Bob you see that United 737 over there?”
FO: “Yup”
Pilot: “ I don’t want to”
FO: “Acknowledged. Fox 3”
737?
737?
737?
Giving actual value to their customers and treating employees well. WHAT A NOVEL IDEA IN 2023
Let's get an update in mid 2024 after this recent SkyPesos devaluation sinks in.
Not bad Delta not bad, just wish the American airports were better.
Airports are not run by the airlines, but by the city. When you buy a ticket you are paying the city for the service.
Ah, yes, Delta. Where they’ll lose your dog.
1:50 - what do you mean as low as 100,000 miles and now 500,000 miles?
I just paid 500,000 for an economy ticket from ATL to LAS leaving Thursday and returning Sunday.
The money is great but the benefits are turrble
you keep showing the B-747 as if it was the flagship of their fleet......these queens of the sky were retired years ago!
I miss the delta 747-400 though
Big Bonus: $61 Million in bonus for 80,000 employees. Woo-hoo! That's an average bonus of $763 per employee. I guess it beats a poke in the eye, but I wouldn't get too worked up about it.
Delta airline you'll love the way we fly.
I have flown Deltaone and jetblue mint, I'll take jetblue anyday.
does jetblue fly to europe or asia or the south pacific like delta does? not a gotchya question i just want to know
Tell that to their customer service. At least United doesn’t lie to your face before ruining a trip.
At least delta has the best cabin crew AND doesn’t KILL your dog. United has the worst staff i have ever experienced and they also beat up others. At least delta gives you refunds for cancelled flights
@@maxsaviation9512 I got bumped while flying a bereavement fare. "My family is literally dying" doesn't warrant a response of "you can wait in atlanta for two days." I am not a fan of most american carriers, but Delta's LaGuardia hub was the stuff of nightmares. I almost exclusively fly Alaska or JetBlue these days.
United never refunded my cancelled flight from New York
Facts. Where are you from?
Don’t you think Southwest is a competitor?
I have been on like 100 delta flights and I have got delayed once for 20 minutes
84% 😂😂. I like Delta as the best of the not so good big 3. American Airlines industry didn't crack top 10 when it came to safety malfunctions etc etc....but they made top 20 😂. I'll do Delta if I had to pick out of big 3
Good to see they are finally catching up to other airlines around the world 😂
My delta flight was delayed for some hours and the entertainment screen was not working I travel from Detroit to Los Angeles and i would say that delta is not my favorite airline next time I go to Hawaii I am taking a another airline like United or American to me those airlines are the best
Was that Jeff Bezos at 0:30? LoL 😂
84.1% on time is good? *Cries in German*
No wonder they don't want JetBlue and Spirit Merge! Also the health plans and work rules take away from their profit sharing scheme!!
Not to mention delta has been the most profitable airline in the world in 2019 it made $4.7 Billon in profit the second most profitable was only $3 Billion
What about jetblue free wifi?
They contract out alot of their stations to the lowest bidder. They don't pay the contract employees close to what McDonald's pays.
I really do like Delta the best.
Delta has had massive success largely without unions..... I think that speaks volumes about unions not always being what they're cracked up to be. And Delta pays their flight attendants very well - better than many unionized airlines.
That's due in large part to the "pressure" of unionizing - just having the threat of forming a union is enough to force DL bosses into treating employees well
That’s because they have better management than United who threaten you every day
@@anishde5555 Oh absolutely. It adds a lot of pressure on management to keep them happy enough not to unionize.
The delta employees are union except for the attendants and they are paid less then the union airline attendants and have awful working conditions compared to unionized attendants. 16 hour scheduled work days and minimum 8 hour crew rest unti the Federal govt stepped in
@@EB-sh2jr Both of those points are incorrect. Delta flight attendants are paid more than quite a few unionized airlines' flight attendants. This is public information, so I'd advise you check the latest pay scales for major US carriers. Also, duty days vary by airline and no airline is permitted to make their employees work under "awful working conditions". I interact with Delta flight attendants every week and I have yet to meet any who express they are treated poorly. If this were so, they would have higher turnover rates than all other airlines. They do not. In fact, many flight attendants from unionized airlines have left to take jobs as Delta flight attendants. I personally know of several. Your assertions are simply talking points from unions, which are themselves businesses who come with their own set of pluses and minuses for workers who are required to pay into them as a condition of their employment.
Compared to United or especially AA sure. Compared to ANA? Singapore? Eva? No contest
I was on hold for 90 minutes twice in the last month after Delta changed my flights. Customer service still sucks
DELTA , KLM , AIR FRANCE IS REQUESTED TO KINDLY START FLYING TO AMRITSAR , INDIA . QATAR , SCOOT , NEO AIRLINES ARE FULL YEAR AROUND .
Do they require the shot and a bunch of boosters to work for them?
I’m flying to Chicago this week from lax. I’d rather connect with delta and pay more than fly direct American or United which are awful
delta has to be the best carrier in the americas but compare it to singapore, qatar, or emirates and its all over
I've been flying United and Delta a lot lately; United is ALWAYS late or delayed. Delta has been spot on for the past few years. I recently flew Delta to Tokyo from the US-I sat in the Delta One business class and was treated like a king. One of the flight attendants said that she wanted to "win me over for Delta" and gave me a very nice bottle of wine right before I deplaned. Give me free stuff and treat me right...I'm sold LOL
I can’t catch a delta flight not going through Atlanta
Wasn’t there an old saying? Don’t Expect Luggage To Arrive?
I have never flown Untes it’s real expensive.
while Delta is doing well right now......they just gave their pilots a huge pay increase and operate the oldest fleet among the biggest carriers(many 757's, and 767's)...faced a brutal winter at MSP....and do not really have a great history in highly competitive environments(AA easily pushed them out of DFW some 25 years ago)...DL may more than others be temporarily benefitting from the disaster Southwest has become...and both Breeze and Avelo are looking to expand....particularly in the east..... a Delta focus....
William: Picking and choosing a lot of information there… 1). The two other legacies are about to announce big pilot raises as well. 2). Aircraft orders are ongoing to include hundreds of 321 NEO’s, 737max, 330 900’s etc. 3). Debt is way down compared to AMR 4). 25 y/o info on a base closure in TX really isn’t relevant since mergers, 9/11, recessions, and covid have hit since… 5). Even with tough winters in MSP they continue to have better on-time stats 6). If breeze and Avelo are going to become major competitors they’re going to have to attract labor somehow and I don’t see them being more enticing than a legacy while keeping their business model and cheap fares.
Lmao ya big bonus we payed for
My name is Delta (no joke )
Great but they can't challenge in Asia
Delta left CAK, my regional airport, during the pandemic. So, I won't be flying Delta unless it's a connection or I'm flying to ATL
Some of these facts are just so untrue. It does not cost 500,000 miles to book a round tip ticket. I just bought one for 20,000
Constant watering-down of the value of your frequent flyer miles. You may feel like you have lots of miles until you see the ever-increasing amount of miles you must use to book a trip. Delta FF miles = fools gold. Prices are forever on the rise, too
I’m a little kid but my dad works there
