re: IT Airline Glitch- Delta Major Issues, Flight Rebooking Help

The waiver has been extended through tomorrow, but does not include Wednesday yet. I'd expect Wednesday to be added at some point today

We don’t fly till Tuesday so hopefully things are a little smother then

So why is delta being affected so hard by this outage a few days ago? It seems like others have recovered better. I'm seeing a lot of tweets about cancelled flights and no customer service today. A lot of luggage piled up at airports too

Cuse what do you recommend for Wednesday flights through ATL? Delta system still errors out when trying to change

So far the waiver is only through tomorrow. I'm hoping they add wednesday soon given they cancelled another 1,000 flights today and delayed a lot more. Keep checking the delta webpage for updates, ill reply here as soon as i see one (if they update it)

I’m on DL4023 & DL2670 Thursday. Should I wait it out and see what happens? I can book with United but I’m sure I’ll lose $

My son's girlfriend was supposed to catch a Delta flight to Memphis on Saturday around noon.

My biggest problem Saturday was that they ended up sending only 2 flights out to Memphis that day and it was the earliest flight and the latest flight and both were delayed up to 4 hrs. They knew there wasn't a chance to send more and yet instead of just canceling them that morning, they pushed them to delayed. Which meant that everyone on that flight had to be at the airport more than 2 hrs early AND sat for 4 extra hrs in an already packed airport.

It's beyond crappy to make people go through all that when you instead should have just canceled the flights and let people not clog the airport even more. We ended up just making a judgement call based on what we were seeing and she got a e-refund off the app. So she didn't get stuck in it, but thousands were and are. Must have felt like cattle headed to slaughter being packed in the airport lines.

Booked a backup flight with American, can’t believe it’s come to this.

I'm glad you did, did you get a refundable ticket? Then if delta does end up going on time you can get the refund. If not then cancel and save the credit for later in the year. It's valid for a year from purchase date

Delta is still melting down. It could last all week

AtlantaCNN — 

Bad news for passengers: Delta Air Lines canceled hundreds more flights early Tuesday morning, as the problems caused by last week’s global tech outage continued into a fifth day. Worse news: Delta’s meltdown will probably extend through the end of the week.

As of 8:30 am ET the Atlanta-based airline had canceled 420 flights, and Endeavor Air, its regional carrier that feeds its system under the Delta Connection brand, had canceled another 18 flights. The cancellations follow more than 1,250 flight cancellations Monday, and 4,500 flights from Friday through Sunday between Delta and Delta connection.

There were more than 400 Delta and Delta Connection listed as delayed by FlightAware. The canceled flights by the two carriers represented nearly 70% of all flights within, to or from the United States that have been canceled on Monday, according to FlightAware. No other US airline had canceled one tenth as many flights.

Refundable, but my company has approved the travel credit if it comes to that.

Since my original Delta flight connects through ATL, I’m actually wondering if I should cancel the Delta flight even if departure is on time. Worried about getting stuck in ATL.
