Just a warning for those flying delta...

Or any of the other airlines these days...Check on your ressies online frequently.

Delta is canceling and rearranging flights - and they really screwed up our flights. A friend had given me a tip to check on it regularly so after a big headache I was able to mostly fix the problem - but we might still have issues on the flight down. With delta whenever they do a schedule or plane change you need to reconfirm your seats or risk losing them. They often don't notify you of the changes either.

I have read a lot people having issues with their flights down to Orlando recently with other airlines as well.

I would hate to see anyone else go thru the headaches we are having if they can avoid it.

We had this problem a few times with Delta especially when you book airfare far in advance.

On our last trip, they not only changed our departure time but also switched airports on us.

Re: Just a warning for those flying delta...

that happened with my honeymoon flight in November!!! They moved the flight up an hour and never informed anyone... I only noticed it the morning of my wedding when I was packing up our travel docs and went online for online check in....could you IMAGINE how that would've gone?!?

We had this problem with Delta as well - we had booked a nonstop to Los Cabos and they cancelled it and put us on an earlier flight with a connection in Salt Lake City and never told us!

It's weird. DH and I are using Delta in November to go to Vegas. I booked my flight on Delta.com and his on Orbitz.com because it was cheaper to do it that way.

Anyhoo, Orbitz emails him with EVERY little schedule change that happens. Delta never tells me a thing!

JetBlue is doing this too...all the airlines want full flights because of the price of gas.

Yes they are doing this too! Unfortunately Delta told us they have seriously overbooked the original flights we are on and people will definitely be bumped to a later flight (but to which flight who knows as the others later in the day are also full).

WE just had a pretty bad experience with them.
