Does it bother you that Delta Airlines CEO make millions but outsources reservations to India? when US Citizens in Atlanta could use a job? If he took a 1% paycut out of his millions - that could pay for the salaries of a Delta reservations in Atlanta.

what entry do i use in findinhg my reservations on delta airlines?

Question about Delta Airlines reservation:? I recently booked a flight from Atlanta to Hartford, CT on a MD88 in economy class. Why can't I upgrade to first class on my itinerary page on Delta.com! Is there a way. I am positive that there are free seats. Thanks.

in case there is a strike for Delta Airlines, what will happen 2 those (like me) who already have reservations I reserved a flight on March 17th to travel on June 22nd. The articles say we won't be affected, but another article says that they will have to get on another flight and pay a $50 change fee.

Is it fraud when Delta Airlines does NOT advise an online customer that a first class ticket is NOT refundable? I recently booked a first class ticket online with Delta and assumed it would be refundable (as every first class ticket I had EVER purchased from them had been). Does it constitute fraud on the part of Delta Airlines that at no point in the reservation process did they advise me that it was NOT refundable? Sounds like fraud to me ...

Is it true that Delta Airlines has begun limiting the number of seats for skymiles? It seems now that if you don't reserve skymile seats quickly, you can forget it for at least 331 days, which is as far out as their reservations go for skymiles. Why are they limiting the number of seats, is it because of their 2005 bankruptcy rules?

Delta Airlines "Credit Card Presentation"? I'm traveling from IND to JFK from Delta Airlines and my ticket was booked online from my father's credit card. I was going through their policies and I came across this - http://www.delta.com/planning_reservations/plan_flight/online_reservations/about_reservations/index.jsp#cc "If the purchaser is not traveling, they can show us their credit card and ID at an airport ticket counter or another ticket office location, whichever is most convenient." What the hell does that mean? The purchaser has to show the credit card at the airport or otherwise the traveler can't fly?

How do I change the name on a airline ticket reservation via Delta's website? I have an airline ticket for a flight to Florida and I want to give it to my son. Can I edit my ticket, (Take my name off and put his name on it), via Delta's website?

Flight Missed Because of Medical Emergency on Delta, Question About Rebooking? Well, thanks to the stupid ash cloud over Europe and the 100,000 people calling the Delta 800 number, I can't find out what I need from them. One of the people on our Delta airline reservations had a medical emergency and was taken to the hospital from the airport via ambulance. Due to the situation, the Delta representative at the terminal told us we could have another available flight without additional fees or expenses of any kind when she was capable of flying. Well, we're hoping on getting out ASAP. So, I'm looking for flights from ALB to MBJ (Albany, NY to Sangster, Jamaica) on Sunday. Unfortunately, every flight looks like it's going to end up requiring us to fly business class some leg of the trip. Is Delta still going to cover those expenses, or is business class not included in the "no fees or expenses" we were told at the airport? I'm really not interested in a 24 hour total trip duration flight involving 3 connections. Thanks!

i am so afraid! help! delta airlines experience? I recently purchased delta airline tickets for my boyfriend and I. I'm really scared because I just read all of the reviews.... EVERY single review was horrible, something about an extra charge, extra delay, etc. is there anyone who had positive flight with them? AHHHHH I WANT TO GET MY MONEY BACK AND GET A NEW FLIGHT!!! also.. will they pay for my hotel and stuff if the flight "Delays" or anything like that? because our hotel in Florida already has reservations.

Seat assignments and changes on Delta? This summer, I am on four Delta flights. My first one is DL 337: LGA-ATL, July 23. It is on a B757-200 (regular, not transcon, unfortunately), and I'm in 29C. This was the first available row in economy when I booked. However, a few days ago, row 28 completely opened up. I would rather sit there, since it's further forward. Rows 26-27 are exit rows. I could change my seat if I would like to. My questions: -Is it a good idea? (Where would you rather sit? Row 28-45 ABC-DEF) -I am in Coach (K). Will there be a change penalty/fee? If so, do you know how much? (I already emailed Delta, and they said I'd have to call them. I'd rather not, so I'll ask here first.) I have a SkyMiles number, and I could make changes in Itineraries, but I don't know how much it would cost. Here are some links: https://www.delta.com/planning_reservations/plan_flight/aircraft_types_layout/757-200/index.jsp http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Delta_Airlines/Delta_Airlines_Boeing_757-200.php Thank you! I chose my seats myself at delta.com. Thanks again. Just some extra info: I am in Economy Class K. Here is information from delta.com: Coach (Lowest fares) L, U, T, H, Q, K * Lowest published fares * Limited availability * Limited upgrade opportunity * Most restrictive 100% of Mileage It is a nonrefundable ticket. I know this question has been in voting, but if you know something that might help me but is not here, you can email me. Thanks again!

delta airlines complain? Delta Air Lines, This letter is to complain about the quality of service (or lack thereof) my family recently received from your airline and in particular, from one of your customer service representatives by the names of Marina Velkojvic . On August 3rd my wife and infant daughter “ Meriam Sourial” arrived at John F. Kennedy airport scheduled to fly to Cairo direct on flight 84 to Cairo . Upon arrival at the airport, and after spending more than one hour in line to check in, plus another 30 minutes to be cleared by security and just prior to boarding, we learned that their flight was overbooked. Although my friend’s wife who did check in the same time my wife did , she got the chance to have a seat in the plane. Inexplicably, my wife and infant daughter were singled out by Marina Velkojvic and told by her that she could not board and that they could be booked on another flight to Cairo that day. Ms. Velkojvic suggested that my wife fly overnight via Air France which would have a layover in France for about 4 hours. My wife respectfully explained that this wasn’t a feasible option because she was traveling with an infant and that a direct flight (such as flight 84) would be best for her. At this point I was about to exit the parking garage when my wife called me and I immediately returned to the gate to see what else could be done. I personally spoke with Ms. Velkojvic and explained that waiting for 4 hours to catch a connecting flight in Paris with an infant child was just not an option we could accept. It was at this point that Ms. Velkojvic became unprofessional, rude and threatening. She raised her voice and clearly said in a condescending tone heard by everyone within 10 feet of us – “I can’t do anything more for you and I don’t have the time for you, decide now what you want or I’ll call the cops”. This statement was completely and utterly shocking. I must be honest when I say that I had no other feeling aside from complete astonishment overcoming my entire being at this point. I could not (and still do not) understand how a trained reservation agent could expect a woman with an infant child to accept a layover of 4 hours in a foreign country. Does this seem rational? Where exactly is the common sense in this request? Couldn’t she have asked a man traveling alone to perhaps accept the layover connection? Realizing that I was dealing with a completely inept and emotionless person, I asked Ms. Velkojvic where I could retrieve my luggage. She responded heartlessly with “look for it downstairs”. As I began to walk away I asked Ms. Velkojvic how I could secure a refund and she handed me a piece of paper with your 1-800-221-1212 number on it. I also asked for my ticket to be returned and she refused to give that to me. At that point, I asked for her name and ID and informed her that I would be filing a formal complaint with the airline and she said that they’re not allowed to give their name to anyone. I began to walk away when, several (not one or two, but close to six people) came up to me and provided me with her name. Needless to say, your customers are more caring then your staff. I called the number provided by Ms. Velkojvic as I waited to retrieve my luggage when the customer service representative on the phone explained that the customer services counter could provide me with a voucher for the refund. At 2:00 am and nearly 6 hours after my wife should have left, I spoke to Sheyla Cacao about my refund. After explaining my problem to her several times Ms. Cacao gave me a voucher for $954.10 instead of $1,020.00. I asked Ms. Cacao to explain this (since my wife’s ticket was $815 and my daughter’s was $205) . Furthermore, I was told that my luggage was not there and that they’d need to give me a luggage claim ticket (JFKD52630) so that it could be delivered to me within 24 hours and until now I didn’t get my all baggage. I left terminal 3 at nearly 4:00 am in the morning having to pay parking fees of $70. Needless to say, I was quite frustrated and remain quite angry about the entire experience. I expected a much higher level of service from your airline, and I am truly quite disappointed. Airlines are, by virtue of the business they’re in, an extension of the hospitality industry. Planes (irrespective of the carrier) are a dime a dozen and it’s the customer service that differentiates the carriers. Because I don’t wish this experience to happen to any of my loved ones, I will be informing my friends and family about this incident. The experience was difficult and frustrating,

Delta Airlines Question? I purchased some tickets from Delta and they sent an email with a barcode on it and it says "Scan this barcode at a self-service Kiosk to access your reservation". I'm going to print my boarding passes online so do I still need to scan that barcode when I get to the airport? ...first-time flyer! (:

Is there anyone way I can change the dates of my Delta Airlines flight without charge? I just recently spent all my disposable income on a flight to Atlanta yesterday. Though, I got a call today from my friend in Atlanta this morning that she will be in Indiana on the day I arrive for a week because her husband is moving there for another job, and she needs to attend a physical. I went to change my ticket to a week later and it doesn't seem like I can get around the 150.00 USD surcharge. Anyone have any ideas/any luck on calling the airlines to have a fee waived, especially since the reservation was made only a day ago?

how to make reservation for 3 years old boy online on delta? i need help please i try to make reservation for me and for my son on delta airlines online but they just put passengers number and nothing for kids so how i will make reservation online for my son can anybody help me please and tell me how to make reservation for my son

What constitutes "Involuntary Denied Boarding" to Delta Airlines? I had a confirmed seat on "Flight X" on Delta, which was on a 50-seat regional jet. A few minutes before boarding, they told us there was a "gate change" and to go to another gate. When all passengers were at the new gate, it was announced that we were being put on a "new flight" to the destination, and it was given a new number. We'll call that one "Flight Y." Flight Y was on a 31-seat turbo-prop plane, and there were 45 people who had checked in on Flight X, all of whom were given boarding passes that said they were confirmed on Flight Y. I was one of those passengers. Flight Y boarded and departed, but I and 13 other passengers were denied boarding because there were not enough seats. Delta says I am not entitled to compensation because my flight was cancelled. I don't dispute that Flight X was cancelled, but I'm not trying to claim compensation on Flight X. My complaint is that they confirmed me on Flight Y (I still have my boarding pass which shows this) and then they denied me boarding on that flight. To me, this seems like "involuntary denied boarding" on "a flight which (I) have a confirmed reservation," making it eligible under DOT rules for involuntary denied boarding compensation. With all due respect, I'm not looking for people to answer with what they THINK Delta should do, or what they THINK I should do. I'm looking for answerers who can cite a source and tell me whether or not my situation constitutes "Involuntary Denied Boarding", and why or why not. Looking forward to awarding ten points to the best answer, whether I like that answer or not. :)

How big can by carrier be for a plane? I have a Chihuahua and I plan on traveling with her with Delta airlines. I have already made reservations for her to be in cabin with me. The clerk failed to provide me with a height/width/length limit for my carrier and I was wondering if anyone has done this and has an idea of what to get. I keep trying to call again but I keep getting the busy tone. Thank you : )

Can the children of a retired Delta Airline employee still fly NON_REV? I am not a child anymore, 38 to be exact. And what is the cost of a non rev reservation based on..?

Why does Southwest only post flights about 6 months in advance, when other airlines go the standard 333 days? I want to book flights on Southwest airlines in September of 2007, but their reservations only go to March. When will they open the reservations to Sept? Everyone else (Delta, AA, etc...) go 333 day ahead?

Should I sue the Delta airline or try to get a refund? I reserved an airline ticket to leave out of the country through airfrance that was connected with delta. my reservation ticket stated that the deadline to check in was 435. I arrived at the desk at 435 not a second or minute later. However, delta told me that they could not check my luggage and that I would have to reschedule my flight and pay 1,000 dollar more when I have already spend 1800 dollars on the ticket. They said that my ticket was non-refundable. Is it possible to sue delta or get a refund? Thank you for all the answers in advance

Can my friends and family earn me Delta SkyMiles? For instance, if I purchase airline tickets for them, will it count towards my balance, or only if I am the flyer? Also, can they use my account number when staying at hotels and renting cars, or do the reservations have to be in my name? Thanks in advance yes, but what about hotels?

Urgent Legal Help! Can I sue this Airline? Please!? I have a situation with Delta Airlines, it is really complicated but our main claim is what I'm wondering if we can sue over. Basically a mistake was made by the airline on our reservation so they were forced to change our flight, we had to spend a night in Paris. We were given transportation-hotel-meal vouchers for a certain hotel. While on the flight to Paris they called us to tell us the hotel was fully booked and that they had made reservations for us elsewhere that we would have to pay out of our pocket but would be fully reimbursed.2 months later, and having spent more than a 1000 euros (they booked us at the Marriott on the Champs Elysee),we have had our multiple requests for reimbursement "respectfully denied". We really don't have that type of cash to spare, we were promised something and expected them to come through. The whole story is a lot more complicated but pretty entertaining, if anyone can seriously help me read this: http://deltaairlineshorrorstories.blogspot.com Sorry to anyone who had already answered, I'm new and erased the answer accidentally. Ok alexin00(te queria contestar y sin querer borre la ?) , cuando con un abogado gratuito designado por la comunidad gane la demanda para que me regresen los 1000 euros que tanto trabajo nos costo juntar, obviaremos la necesidad de pagar alquileres, facturas y alimentos y haremos el bien. Es mas por que no me das tu direccion y te lo envio a ti. No me jodas, rico o pobre , si pagas por un servicio, y "te la clavan" prometiendote un reembolso y como toda buena gran corporacion te dan una palmadita en la espalda en vez de tu dinero bien ganado. Exigirlo a como de manera(siempre que sea dentro de la ley) y dentro de tu capacidad, no me parece nada frivolo. Al contrario, frivola tu aproximacion que evita los matices con tal de propagar un lloriqueo reaccionario y obsoleto. A partir de esta lado de la linea: el pobre africano...heroe del otro: yo, frivola. Por demandar lo que es mio y a nadie le he arrebatado? Ora si que me agarraste de malas, esto es un tema serio.

Is there any airline that won't charge me just because I'm a kid? Well Delta has to charge me 100 dollars extra because I'm flying by myself. Plus I am younger than 15 years old. So i'm just wondering if there is any other airline that will not charge me for this?! https://www.delta.com/planning_reservations/special_travel_needs/services_for_children/children_traveling_alone/index.jsp Going to JAX - RDU!! fLORIDA- nORTH cAROLINA

Airline reservation question? If I book a flight, say a month, before the travel date, what is the likelihood that my seat is NOT reserved? I decided to pick Delta. Thanks. Or reserved. Thanks for answers thus far.

Delta flight attendants huge question for you! or anyone who know about the job and benefits! thank you? Can a full time Delta flight attendant get tickets for another person and reserve the tickets for them in a different airline like American Airlines under their benefits as an employ, and have that person go to the airport and simply tell them that you have tickets under an employ's benefits and give the employ # to the front desk check in and actually be able to fly ? I have a friend of mine who did so and told me to just go and tell the airport that and that i should be ok and be let on the plane but im not so sure about this and something about it makes me feel like its not going to work and i really dont want to go to the airport for no reason tomorrow. If anyone can help i will really appreciate it! He did provide me with the flight # and departure information. But when i call American Airlines they tell me that flight number and that certain reservation is on HOLD and is reserved until around 30 minutes before the plain is supposed to departure. Thank you.

Can other people check my flight reservation? I would like to know if other people can check a flight reservation of another person? Like the date of the flight and the names of people who are traving and the time of the flight? Can people check it online? What if they call? And to find other peoples flight reservation do they need a special number or code to do so? Please help me this is an emergency? This has to do with Delta Air Lines? Additional Details What if they have the ticket number or the airline record locator or the orbitz record locator?

I need help to print off an itinerary? Hi, I remember two years ago I had found a couple of websites that let you put in your reservation code and last name, and then would print off a copy of your flight itinerary to you. I've been searching around, but I can't seem to find a website that receives both of my flight's itineraries. If it helps, one flight is with KLM Royal Dutch but is issued with Delta Airlines, and the other one is with Ariana Afghan Airlines. Thank you! If you could name a few websites that you've used yourself and have always worked, that would be great! (: John L : I've been to each one of those sites, although interestingly enough I found an Itinerary for my Ariana Afghan flight, but not the first one yet ... Also, Delta's website is very frustrating! I still haven't gotten hold of an itinerary!

Some travel advice....? Hi guys, Merry Xmas to you all. My mother has just fallen ill and has been advised that she cannot travel for another month. The problem is that we booked to go to NYC on 7 January for 5 days but booked both the hotel and accommodation separately. So my question is... Delta Airlines - Should I be able to change the dates of the flight without having to lose my money? Hampton Inn (part of HIlton Group) - again, would I be able to change the date of the reservation without having to lose the money. I just wanted to check everything beforehand to make sure we are ok to change the dates without having to worry about the money side of things or else we may need to give the tickets to somebody else. Many thanks

How come airlines screw you out of frequent flyer miles? I Been flyin on Delta for many years (20+) and getting miles. It started you get 20,000 you get a free domestic round trip. Them it goes to you gotta have 25,000. In 2002 I had 27+ and tried to use them to go round trip Kans City to Miami. The reservation suggested I pay $208 this time and after this trip I have over 30 and that entitled me to an international RT. I now have 34720 but now it takes 47000 to go to cozamel and 37000 to domestic Miami. What good are they. There word and policies are no good.

Pets on the plane at LAX? I take ALASKA airlines so no one mention delta.I have already bought the tickets and I leave tomorrow.But I didn't make reservations for my dog.So when I go to that front desk at LAX where they put some sticker on you suitcase..Do I pay them upfront for my dog to be put in the back of the plane? I do know that its $100 so will they like put him in a kennel and take him or something?

Transporting Guinea Pigs from Maui,Hawaii to Minnesota/Mainland? So my family and I are moving from Hawaii to Minnesota.I own 2 guinea pigs which I desperatley want to bring with me.Our reservations are on Hawaiian Airlines from Maui to Seattle, and I believe Delta from Seattle to Minnesota.I recently found that Hawaiian Airlines does not allow guinea pigs (dammit). Now I am stuck as to how to transport my precious piggies.Is there another airline that will allow me to?Is there some kind of animal service that could transport them for me?(I read about something like that online) Please and thank you! NO, I AM NOT GETTING RID OF MY GUINEA PIGS. If I absolutely cannot take them, they will stay here with my Dad for the year or so I will be gone.The thing is they will be better taken care of with me.This is why I am desperately trying to bring them with me.As well as I will miss them. Also another question, Is there a way I can ship them safely?

Pet Carrier Airline Questions... HELP!? Well, I really wanted my 6 month old Schnauzer puppy to go with me when I fly to my childhood home in a couple of weeks, but perhaps now it may not be possible! This puppy is very small... but she is also very TALL, (hadn't realized how much she'd grown when I originally bought the carrier..) her legs are almost as long as her body! She's only 10lbs. Anyway, the soft-sided bag I got her was 10.5" high, and she appears to be too tall for it, (perhaps it was also because of the bed in the bottom adding height?) So I returned it and kept searching. I called the airline's reservation department and they said their restrictions for kennels were 23"LX 9"HX 13"W. Anyway, I asked if that was for the hard plastic or soft sided, and she didn't seem to know, but that was what was listed on their site. She is just a little -TOO- tall. If she lays down the entire time she will be fine, but I know the website also says they must be able to stand up and turn around. Has anyone flown with a pet to know how picky they are about that??? I found a Sherpa brand carrier that says "DELTA" on it, which is 11" which is still just a smidgen tighter for her head than I'd like it when standing up, but she fits just fine, but it says on the tag "Airline Approved, The airlines quoted dimensions are for Plastic Kennels" Is this really true?? In addition, I found this carrier called the Sturdibag: http://www.sturdiproducts.com/4111/xcart/product.php?productid=124&cat=10&page=1 which would be absolutely perfect dimension wise, but says that it is 12" High. It also says, though "Weight: 2 lbs 10 ounces (1,2KG) Weight includes washable fleece pad and 4-point shoulder strap 18”L x 12”W x 12” Height Flex™ (designed to flex down without collapsing to conform to all under seat Heights)" Even their extra large says this and that one is 16"H. Has anyone had experience with these bags? Oh, and I am flying American Airlines.. anyone know how strict they are? Is this really true? Has anyone used one of thses before?? How much can soft sided carriers collapse?? Would 3 inched be appropriate?? HELP I need to know if I need to cancel her reservation or not. I am NOT willing to check her as cargo, it is carry on or not at all..

FROM CHEAPTICKETS.COM Is there a time limit on changing a flight?

Ticket change to another carrier? Scenario: I'm at the gate at the airport and my flight gets canceled. I stand in line for a new flight and concurrently call reservations on my cell. I speak to a phone rep sooner than the gate agent and after about 10 minutes of being on hold they give me a reservation code and ticket number for a flight on a different airline. I have had this happen two times. What am I supposed to do next? I would think I just need to go to the departure gate of the new flight and get my new boarding pass. But apparently there is some issue with the ticket needing "pushed" from one airline to the other? Do I need to go out to the main check in area and speak with a ticket agent for the original and/or new airline? This seems unnecessarily complex and tome consuming, but is what I had to do once. I've had issues both when Us Air re-booked me on American and when United re-booked me on Delta. Yes, what?

POLL: CAN OTHERS SEE MY FLIGHT? I would like to know if other people can check a flight reservation of another person? Like the date of the flight and the names of people who are traving and the time of the flight? Can people check it online? What if they call? And to find other peoples flight reservation do they need a special number or code to do so? Please help me this is an emergency? This has to do with Delta Air Lines? Additional Details What if they have the ticket number or the airline record locator or the orbitz record locator?

Has anyone ever snuck their cat/small dog on a plane without paying the airline fees? I've traveled numerous times on planes with my cat in an approved carrier in the cabin with me. He does well flying and I get to spend the holidays with him. Each time, I paid for a medical exam for him by my vet so that I'd have the medical certificate if they asked (they never did) and I paid the airline fees. Two years ago, the first time I flew, it cost $50 each way for his "reservation" and $30 for the exam, for a total of $130. The next time, it cost $75 each way and $30 for the exam, for a total of $180. Since I wanted to take him home for Christmas this year, I checked the airline pet fees and nearly fell out of my chair! Delta/NWA is now charging $150 each way for a pet and United is charging $175. The cheapest, USAir, is still charging $100 each way, but I don't fly them because they're almost never the cheapest airline for me. I recently bought a ticket on Delta for my flight home for Christmas and payed $250 for a roundtrip, but my cat's "reservation" would cost $300, more than my ticket! If I was flying United, it would cost $350! Now, I'm all for playing the rules, but this is crazy. And what's even more insulting, I pay all that money and my cat still counts as one of my pieces of carryon luggage! $300 and I don't even get to bring an extra bag! So I'm either going to board him (which now costs less than flying him even for a two- or three-week trip) or sneak him on the plane, but has anyone ever done that successfully? I wouldn't have to sneak him through security because the TSA people don't know and don't care what flight I'm on. How would they know if I have a reservation for him? And if I have a friend waiting to take him to a kennel in case my plan fails, what's the harm in trying? Has anyone out there ever done this? Ok, seriously, read the question. Don't send a stupid, knee-jerk reaction answer. If you don't own a pet and have never taken one on a plane, don't answer this question. I don't plan to send my cat through the x-ray machine! I'd walk through with him like I always do. My "guess" is that the only people who know if your cat is booked on a flight is the airline on which you're flying. Do the TSA guys know whether you've made a reservation for your cat? If not, why would they care if I have a cat with me or not?

Unfair airline and travel agency policies. How can I claim? Due to incompetency of travel agency (the flight on itinerary had wrong departure time) and lame airline staff (delayed checking due to very slow operation - at least half an hour per passenger and complete lack of care for people waiting) we are on the verge of losing a trip of a lifetime in which my parents invested all their savings. We are currently stranded at the airport, waiting for the next day flight, for which we don't have guarantee we can be boarded. We already lost one day of our 8 days trip which is a big thing, because we planned couple of events today (and paid for the hotel). In the meantime I wonder what is the best way to approach both travel agency and airline to get reimbursed for our losses. If we won't get on the plane, we lose at least 3000$ for hotel and planes reservation (we were supposed to go to Hawaii and move from island to island). Before I do anything stupid I would appreciate your advice. I am bringing my camera to the airport today to film the outrageous negligence of Delta workers at LAX. What other suggestions do you have?

Need the return flight of round trip ticket only? A few months ago, I purchased three Delta round trip tickets at $300 a piece. One for myself and 2 for my children. Since then, their Grandma wanted to fly them out to her house for a bit, then fly them on to our final destination arriving on the originally scheduled date. I called Delta to see how much it would be to change the departing airport for my children's tickets. They quoted me $500 a piece!! I purchased Air Tran tickets at $100 a piece and thought I would only use the return portion of the round trip tickets. I later found out I needed to arrive at our destination a couple days early. I called Delta to see about changing MY flight to a different day-- $400! I ended up being able to purchase a flight using miles with another airline. Then I received a paper receipt from Delta about my three tickets and I notice it says something like failure to fly any leg will cancel the rest of the reservation! I had been counting on using the return flights! I called Delta again, and they were as rude as could be and told me it would be $200 a piece to change them to one way tickets!! (personally, I do not understand this practice-- I have already paid for the seats, and they are going to charge ME for the honor of reselling them and making more money?). What recourse do I have here? I will actually be at the destination airport on the day the original Delta tickets would have put us there. Can I check-in online before the flight then visit the Delta counter at the destination airport and tell them there was some kind of mistake, that I actually was on that flight and thereby save my return flights? I am desperate not to lose any more money on this Delta fiasco (btw, I will never fly them again due to their horrendous customer service). Thanks to anyone with any insight into how to get around this limitation.

Become a home based travel agent how? I am currently in school to be a travel agent. The goal was to be a home based travel agent and have my own business. I currently work in a travel agency sorta its limited to cruises, tours, resorts etc. Its a large call center and the commision SUCKS anywhere from 5.00 per booking to 50.00 per booking making min wage on top of that. I want my own I just got done working 4 years in the airline industry and I am familiar with the computer programs for delta continental and jet blue I also worked in a hotel reservation center best western for a year when i was younger. Are there any opportunities out there or am I wasting my time. Travel industry is my passion and im willing to give it my all just not sure what offers are legit and which are scams. Any help would be appriciated. Thanks guys

How big can by carrier be for a plane? I have a Chihuahua and I plan on traveling with her with Delta airlines. I have already made reservations for her to be in cabin with me. The clerk failed to provide me with a height/width/length limit for my carrie and I was wondering if anyone has done this and has an idea of what to get. I keep trying to call again but I keep getting the busy tone. Thank you : )

How do I put my dog on the plane at LAX? I take ALASKA airlines so no one mention delta.I have already bought the tickets and I leave tomorrow.But I didn't make reservations for my dog.So when I go to that front desk at LAX where they put some sticker on you suitcase..Do I pay them upfront for my dog to be put in the back of the plane? I do know that its $100 so will they like put him in a kennel and take him or something? If no then I guess I can change my date to 2 more days to make reservations =(
