Delta flight cancelled

There will likely be no future stuff if it was weather related.

You may get lucky and get a rep who says they will throw something small at him bc pilots timed out, but don't expect anything of substance.

More of this

So weather makes him kind of shite outta luck. Delta doesn’t control the weather so they were kind to offer the vouchers. I know that isn’t what you want to hear but that is the fair thing in the situation. I say that as someone with 1.8M miles with Delta and a diamond since 2014.

Well, that’s exactly what I told him and what he’s doing.

But it also doesn’t mean that I shouldn’t ask if people who are much more experienced at this to say “oh yeah, just go ask for the hotel voucher to be applied to a future ticket” or something like that.

Future stuff? Not really

Not totally true. TRansfer the voucher to DoorDash, InstaCart, Starbucks, Chic Fil A in the time period they announce but then once it's transferred you can use it anytime.

I made a post on this a few months ago

f you have had a delayed flight when flying Delta it's likely they sent you a food voucher. The voucher can't be used for in flight purchases but the idea is that you use that voucher at one of the dining establishments at the airport while you're waiting. Far too many times, you don't even get the voucher until you've taken off and a few years ago I tried playing with a few things to see how I could use it and not waste it and always forget to post it...not today.

So the voucher is basically a pre-paid mastercard number (QR code to use at the airport food court) with a exp date and CIV code but usually has an expiration date not that far after your flight. We flew 2/14, had a delay they sent us a voucher and it had an an expiration date of 2/19.

If this happens you you what you can do if you don't spend it in the airport is load that mastercard on to your doordash, Chi Fil A or Starbucks, etc app for payment and use it after you land/arrive.

Yes he got two food vouchers. I’ll give him a shout real quick see if they’re still valid.

Tell him to take his flight today and that is that.
