I'm surprised they didn't give folks water bottles to use in the bathroom
That was nice of the GA, though, to tell all the coffee drinkers to grab some before boarding

Wife and my daughter flying
Bought main cabin and immediately get Comfort+
plane changed and downgraded to main cabin stuck in row 39. really glad her Regionals upgrade certificate didn’t clear cause I hear they don’t give those back either.
whats strange is we always fly this route 1-2x a month and there is always c+ available at the gate but GA claims it’s full from all paid people this one flight
think there is any compensation for this? Should She bother complaining via delta comments?

my delta one upgrade cleared at the gate. Sat down and after meal service i realized the seat would not recline at all. IFE wasnt working too but i was going to sleep so i didn't even mention it..
FE was really nice and offered me 15k miles. she scanned my boarding pass and asked me to enter my email address.
today I got an email saying hi NOTCBOY, Skymiles#NotcboysSkymilesnumber, you have been credited 15k miles! I wonder how that happened? maybe they gave the seat to someone else before me and there is a mixup there?
i've tweeted to delta and they said they are looking into it.
has this happened to anyone here else in the past?

They were way too apologetic for it in my opinion, but very nice. Luckily it had a 12 hour lay over in LA to get this fixed as it was going LAX-SYD that night and having that seat would suck

I had a TATL weekend trip (Thurs night outbound, Mon morning return). Inbound to ATL was delayed enough to cause me to miss my connection an arrive 21hr late, greatly reducing the length of my trip. I have so many miles already, any chance they'll give me some kind of financial compensation instead?

ATL-ABQ
During meal service I took out my silverware from the napkin and noticed the fork had dried food on it. I asked the FA for another fork showing her the food and of course she apologized and brought another fork. After I was done eating she came by with her handheld gizmo they use and said she was giving me some miles. I said you don't have to do that I just wanted another fork. She insisted and the gizmo spit out 2500 miles.

Dirty Pants Compensation
I flew internationally recently (domestic J type plane) and the only nice pair of pants I brought with me on my trip got a massive grease stain from the tray table... flight attendants were very apologetic and gave me 5k miles, should I ask for anything else? The pants issue stopped my wife and I from going for a nice dinner since the only other clothing I had were two pairs of shorts and one pair of jeans...
And no, I don't want to sue the airline for 50 million like that crazy judge did when the cleaners lost his pants lol

I am not sure how... it was only on the left thigh, but very visible - about 3 inches by 3 inches of black grease. It came out immediately in the wash when we got home, but didn't come out with just water.

BTW, my father regularly has large grease stains on his nice pants and they've never stopped him from enjoying fine dining.

Did you consider trying to have the pants cleaned at your destination?

Let others worry about your pants, not you. As long as it is not 'unhygenic' or an accident of the 'other' kind

LAX-SFO - 2.5 hour delay due to missing crew.
SFO-AMS - Equipment swap on KL (787 to 777)
Both legs in F/J.
$75 gift card. Wasn't expecting anything.

MSP-LHR a couple weeks back, rolling delays in 90 min chunks or so, ended up being 8+ hours not getting out till 2AM, and a new plane being ferried up from ATL. I had upgraded w/miles to D1, and DL called me to refund all the miles i had spent + $100 voucher. Very nice gesture i wouldn't have ever expected a total refund of my miles.
