The front page looked great.
Then I click through to check in for one of my flights and I find that the interface is exactly the same as the old site. Hmmm... maybe this will be a gradual change. As long as functionality is restored, it doesn't really matter to me whether the interface is new or not.

From the homepage:
"Welcome to the new delta.com homepage.
It's not just a makeover—our new homepage is completely rethought and redesigned to give you faster, easier access to everything you need to plan and manage your travel. Now you can book, check in, see your flight status, check your mileage balance, get vacation ideas and more—all right on our homepage.
Streamlined Navigation: All the tools you use most—from flight booking and upcoming trips to status updates and online check-in—are right at your fingertips.
SkyMiles Dashboard: See your mileage balance at a glance—and if you're a Medallion member, you can see exactly how close you are to reaching the next Medallion level.
Top Destinations: Scroll through pictures of our most popular or newest destinations and get ideas for your next vacation spot.
We know our homepage looks quite a bit different from the rest of our site now—but don't worry, we're working on that. We'll be making more updates in the coming months to give you a better, more consistent experience throughout our site."

First website FAIL:
My "skymiles dashboard" is totally broken already.
I am FO, and while that seems correct, according to the cutesey personalized graph when I log in I am already Gold. It says I've earned over 62,000 MQMs this year, and I am a bit under 12K to my next milestone...platinum.

Apparently I have well over 300,000 MQM this year. What a nice gesture
Over/under when they fix this? I'm thinking quickly, maybe 2 days because it effects them not the customers.
P.S. I see two threads so far on the new website. Any guess how many we will have by day's end?

I'm liking the new homepage. I want to play around a bit, but very apple-esque home page, IMO. Looks good, and revolutionary from an airline homepage sense.

I definitely like the sound of this from Delta...
