    We were flying Delta from Florida back to Detroit. Our flight was canceled so we had to stand in line to book another flight because the Delta phone lines were jammed. So many people were rude and obnoxious in dealing with the gate agents. When our turn came we were kind and respectful. We were put on a flight leaving the next morning in first class.

    As a Delta Diamond Medallion member out of the SLC hub, these are all great tips. ALWAYS BRING WATER!!! I recommend Active NOISE CANCELLING headphones. As far as charging ports go, almost all Delta seats now have not only USB ports but also AC plugs at every seat with the exception of the small Sky west operated planes. Still a good idea to bring a spare USB battery. Lastly, take out your headphones when the flight attendants come to your row for service.

    You're tips are very accurate. Delta is my favorite! I've only had one delay in the past 4 yrs. Most of the time I arrive at my destination early. Plus, Delta is the only airline that offers a non-stop flight from San Diego to Detroit. It's convenient when I visit my fam in MI.

    We feel for you! We were booked to go back to Japan just as COVID lockdowns hit and we cancelled. We have now finally managed to book our trip again, but the people at Delta were awesome as doing all they could to get our credits organized and keep us in the loop about expirations and whatnot. We can't wait to go flying again!

    Well the way the airlines board people is stupid. They should load the plane from the rear to the front. Way faster and more efficient. Myself, I always fly first, I would rather been sitting in the waiting area than on the plane. So I watch the line and always board near to last.

    I flew Delta for the first time in 2016 from Boston to New York thought the flight went well, even though it was a short one I just got approved for the AMEX green card now I will have a credit for a clear yearly, which is great
    Also have TSA pre-check I usually fly Southwest, but I am open to flying Delta or United great video

  • @OweEyeSea
    @OweEyeSea 6 месяцев назад +3

    Completely agree with a number of these points: buy directly from the airlines and take direct flights as much as possible.
    As far as which is the best airline, that depends on where you generally fly out of and your destinations, since a hub airport will have more flights and more direct flights. Flying out of SLC, for example, means Delta is the best option for most flights. However, if I'm flying *to* another airlines hub, they may be the better choice in those cases. For instance, Alaska is a great option for going to LAX or SEA.

    • @thehypnoticgamer7746
      @thehypnoticgamer7746 Год назад +1

      Would you recommend doing comfort plus for international? What's the difference?

    • @Zachus
      @Zachus  Год назад +4

      Comfort Plus gives you a little more leg room, and dedicated space above you. That's about it. For International, I recommend Premium Select (more like First Class Domestic Flights) except you can recline a lot more with a footrest and have bigger screens and better service. (Also known as Premium Economy). The only difference in Comfort Plus vs Economy Main is a little more leg room.
      Next is Delta One which is more like Business Class than First but offers usually a POD, Lay flat beds, more privacy, better service, better meals, etc...
      Hope this helps

    Oh my goodness thank you so much! This is going to be so helpful. Unfortunately we bought our tickets through Expedia and got a good deal (before we saw your video😢) then we wanted to upgrade our tickets and man😤 it was a hassle going back through Expedia. You are so right about buying tickets directly through the airlines-we bought through ANA to Japan 4 years ago and had an awesome experience. Excellent exceptional customer service. We will take everything else you said into account for our upcoming Delta flight. Thank you for sharing.

    • @Zachus
      @Zachus  Год назад +1

      Oh yeah, been there. The worse is if the flight gets canceled or something goes wrong. I think Expedia is the best one if you have to go with one. I'm sure you'll have a great flight! Just booked a ticket on ANA yesterday for our Thailand trip 😉 great to hear they are awesome! Have fun on Delta!

    Great tips for flying with Delta or really most airlines. I would NOT recommend getting a snack with any type of nuts in it. We were on a plane and purchased trail mix in the airport. When we got up in the air on the flight, there was an announcement that anyone with nuts in their snacks are not permitted because a person on board had a nut allergy. The trail mix was the only snack we brought so we were out of luck.

    You mentioned needing to take off your shoes for security. I recommend getting Global Entry/TSA Pre-check. No need to take off shoes, remove laptop or liquids, etc. And many credit cards give it to you free! Also, given how devalued Skymiles are, I’m considering assigning my miles to Virgin or Flying Blue for my next trip. What do you think?

    • @Zachus
      @Zachus  Год назад +2

      Yep if you fly a lot then Pre-Check/Global are worth it, but you need to fly a LOT to make it worth the cost and effort.
      Pre-Check is domestic USA
      Global Entry is for international flights coming back to the USA to speed up getting back in

    • @ShelbieMolnar-sl7vr
      @ShelbieMolnar-sl7vr 11 месяцев назад +1

      Doesn’t matter how often you fly. Delta American Express reimburses you for precheck and global entry. Precheck cost me nothing through my credit card and it took me 10 mins with an appt and I had my KTN number in 2 weeks. Lasts for 4 years. Even for 1 flight a year it would be worth it.

      @Zachus  9 месяцев назад +1

      Just got back a couple of months ago from HND Tokyo, hope you guys have a blast. I'm confused a little, you said Comfort Plus but then 2 seater, did you mean Premium Select?
      Comfort Plus is still economy, which is normally 3 seats or even 4 to a row. (3-4-3 is most common). Offers more legroom, and some free perks like snacks and drinks. Its around 11hr flight so I would recommend watching some of my long-haul flight videos. You'll want to get compression socks and get up and walk around several times, stretch and drink plenty of water. Its basically like a normal airplane seat, with a little more leg room and recline. I would encourage you if you can afford it, to upgrade to at least Premium Economy

    • @Zachus
      @Zachus  9 месяцев назад

      I'm assuming you are talking about a voucher the airline gave you? Anything like a promo code is at checkout. usually referred to as a discount code.
      If you're talking about a special event, code, travel, agent, code, meeting code you apply this when searching but you have to click advanced search, and then usually near the bottom you’ll see a place for meeting code or travel, agent code.
      All new travel videos are going to be at RUclips.com/ZachusTravel and yes I'll add skymiles to my list. That would be a great video. Thank you for watching. I hope this helps

      depends on the card. Delta Gold, platinum, or the top tier card. generally you'll board Main 1. (unless you're 1st class/Comfort+)

    Not a flyer but both a railroad employee and train passenger that I used to use Greyhound, now Amtrak, in getting to and from my company's yard to and from, a day prior to my working my scheduled shifts. Surprisingly, each and every one of these tips are mad similar and helpful for use on both the Greyhound and Amtrak, most especially the one in your Spirit video about the mobile app. Spirit honestly must be pretty much the Greyhound of the airline industry because they HATE whenever you have to print your ticket at the stations (aside from the kiosk), as they charge you about 20 dollars extra to do so. Amtrak is definitely one that seems more comparable to that of Delta or American.

In advance of the flight calls to delta as to,why full ck in could not be done went unanswered....well, the answer was contact aeromex,,,not acceptable

    Someone said on another video, you can fill an empty water bottle after you get passed security, can you take a big purchased sealed water bottle say from Kroger with your purchased snacks as long as you make it visible to the people doing check-ins? And if that's OK, do you just put it out to be examined in the airport security trays? Because I thought I heard all liquids have to be 3.4 ounces in a quart bag at security check in? So how would the big water you recommend taking not get kicked out? Need to know, trying to get ready for a Delta flight this next Saturday. Thanks for all your tips. I have a portable charger, like the one you pulled out of your Rolling bag, if I try to take that will it also need to be put in the bins at check in, maybe you have covered it else just getting started on the be prepared videos. Thanks Jackie

    • @Zachus
      @Zachus  Год назад +7

      No, you cannot take any liquids through security. They will throw them away. You can only take sealed snacks through security. You can take a Yeti or Water Bottle that is metal or plastic for works outs like this one amzn.to/3JVvgfa but it has to be empty, then you can fill it up with a water fountain or at the bathroom or buy cold water and pour it into it.
      For the battery pack, do not pull it out. Leave it in your backpack or bag. I leave mine in my suite case through security. Have never had an issue. Don't start waiving it around though. I carry 2-3 normally depending on how long the trip is but never pull them out.
      Hope this helps! BTW this is true for all airlines, it's TSA regulations through security to get into the gates. Hope you have fun on your trip!!

    Hi! Very informative video. I am looking to fly delta internationally. Off the top of your head have you uograded on the app at check in for relatively cheap? Im just wondering if upgrading to comfort + while booking its looking like an extra 500. Im not sure if thats a good deal or not? Thank you 😊

    • @Zachus
      @Zachus  3 месяца назад

      International is an entirely different thing. Most of the flights are full by check-in. Upgrades aren't handled the same as they are domestically. Comfort+ is not worth $500 extra in my opinion. I would look at premium select (premium economy). Those are bigger seats, more leg room, more free stuff.
      How long is your flight?

    Hi Zachus! Loved your video, very informative!! Question for you: We plan to take our first international flight with Delta and want to know if you think an additional $325per person for comfort + is worth it for a 9+ hour flight. Neither of us are tall, so 3 inches of extra leg room doesn’t tip the scale for us. This will be our first Delta flight as well. I’m wondering if we book main cabin and receive an upgrade proposal, would it be that same $325, or would they come down on that price. Thanks for any help!!

    • @Zachus
      @Zachus  4 месяца назад +1

      For international I recommend premium economy. Those will be worth it for anything over 6+ hours. I don't think $325/per person for comfort+ is worth it. Also known as premium select with Delta. Hope this helps and hope you have an amazing flight 🎉🎊

      If the tickets were bought together then just one check-in is required for all. You'll get the option to check-in just you or everyone. Once check-in is completed they can refresh their app and get their boarding pass.
      If bought separately then each person will have to check-in.

      It doesn't matter when you check in, they assign seats after everyone else is assigned that paid for them and if you bought them together they will try to put you together but there's no promises. Best thing to do is go to the gate and ask them when you in pre-boarding.

      You received a booked ticket as a gift? It may be that they had closed any upgrades at that point. I'm not sure without looking at it. Sorry you couldn't upgrade. You can always ask the employees at the gate or when you check bags. They have more power and can see more than is available online.

      You can take sealed snacks through TSA Security but no liquids like water and coke.

Then this will help you be in control on the plane. Does that help?

      No they do not, they are TSA Security upgrades. A lot of airports are getting Clear now, which is a scam if you ask me, but you pay a monthly or yearly fee and you can skip ahead some in the security lines, then the post popular is Pre-Check which is done by TSA/Gov you pay a yearly fee for and go through a screening process, this lets you skip ahead and not have to take off your shoes, etc.. Then there's Priority which is for First Class passengers you can skip the general security line and usually get through a lot faster.
      Boarding is determined by your airline based on the Rate code you bought. Each class as rate codes. Also based on status with the airline etc...

Explaining what's going on is a huge part of keeping them calm and relaxed. Good luck with everything!! Oh, one more thing.
