I've been trying to set up travel to Roatan (RTB) which, by all accounts, including the Delta reps, should be working, does not. The website says it's not valid. I spent hours on the phone with the Delta Reservations people and they agree it should work but does not. They claim they have opened a support ticket with the back end people but can not give me a clue when it might be resolved. Their only comment was that I was the first to find this and if only one ticket is opened, it will take a long time for it to be resolved (squeaky wheel gets the grease)...
So, I figured I'd open a complaint on Delta's website. Well, it was closed because it was not an issue with a current ticket (which, I can't get because of a bug in their system).
So, I figured I'd post out here to let others know, they might have trouble scheduling Companion Certificates to certain new areas that Delta is now allowing. I even had one agent tell me the certificate was not valid for that flight.. I told them it was and to go read the rules. They came back and said they had not heard about it and dropped my call... (I guess, so I can't do the survey)..
Good luck folks!
Have the new Certs even been issued yet? I believe they are only being issued for renewal dates on or after 2/1/2024? Any Cert issued before that will be limited to the old rules.
