Does DL sell a product similar AA's 5 Star Service Personal Assistance?
Hi All,
I'm relatively unfamiliar with Delta, as I travel almost exclusively with American and OneWorld.
I am wondering if Delta sells a product similar to something American Airlines which American Airlines calls "American Airlines 5 Star Services"
http://www.aa.com/i18n/urls/fivestarservice.jsp
My parents have paid for such services in AA, wouldn't have issue doing the same on DL if a similar product is offered.
I ask because my parents going to be flying, and are also accustomed to flying on AA, and would utilize AA's 5 Star Services since they're senior citzens; the service would make their travels easier. They're also more comfortable flying through DFW on AA versus ATL on DL.
However Delta has a discounted First Class fare that's almost 50% cheaper than the fare offered on AA during the same dates for where they're traveling
If DL offers a service similar to AA's 5 Star Services, then it would be a no-brainer for my parents to fly DL since they'd feel more comfortable with a service similar to AA's 5 Star Services.
Thanks in Advance!

AA sure has the lead on this. I've used it for clients a few times with DL - ATL and LAX. They were impressed with the service.
UA - nothing.

The AA thing though is really an eggregious amount of money. If you're concern is your parents being seniors and slower in the process you can always order a wheelchair for one and basically avoid your issues
