Thanks for the heads up.^

I'm not sure they have one to fire.

I have a feeling DL asked the DTW/B-concourse tug drivers to take a stab at a site redesign.

http://www.delta.com/content/www/en_...-benefits.html

On this page, under the GM column, for SkyTeam Status it says "Elite Plus6" with the 6 referring to a footnote.

However, there are only five footnotes on the page, numbers 1-5.

I thought GM was SkyTeam Elite Plus full stop - I wonder why there is a reference to a footnote (that's missing)?

Another oddity on this page - the text for footnote 5 refers to the PM/DM Award Booking Fee waiver, but that line calls out footnote 3, "Waived Award Redeposit/Reissue Fees3"

The upgrade wiped out my known traveler (Global Entry) number. Folks who like TSA Pre Check ought to check theirs, too!

The PDF version still shows no footnote for GM Elite Plus. I hope this is a typo, not a canary of the 2013 changes!

New web site is way too slow, and needs too many clicks to navigate. Signing in is less convenient. Only upside I've seen so far is the seat maps showing the entire plane instead of just the section you are booked in.

I give this a D. And if doesn't speed up soon, I'll revise it down to an F.

The UI designers for the new delta.com must have been smoking some unusual stuff. Would love to know what it was! Same as the GNOME3 folks? Wonder how they managed to convince upper management that their UI design had merit?

The only redeeming feature about the new delta.com as far as I am concerned is the ability to print out receipts for completed trips.

Yesterday I received an email from Delta, explaining TSA PreCheck and providing a link for me to "opt in". Quite confusing since I've been enrolled and enjoying their TSA PreCheck program for some time.

Could this new website redesign be the reason for this note I received yesterday? Do we need to do TSAPreCheck "opt in" again??

Really like the new changes. Aren't all new websites going to have some bugs to work out?

Thanks for the heads up. Checked my account but sure enough, the info was there. Not easy to find but definitely buried in there. The real test will be if it still carries over to TSA.

Slow, ugly, heard to read. The homepage drops down now instead of opening to the right.

I guess this is what passes for innovation these days. That and a little lipstick as a previous poster said. Color me unimpressed.

Did the Delta representative actually say they were testing this weekend? All testing should be completed before I ever see it.
