Can't get old website any more. But you can still get old fare search (for now) at the following link -- https://www.delta.com/flight-search/search-results

Cartoonish seems to be the new thing. Just look at the new colors on the FT mobile skin.

I bookmarked the "full html" link a long time ago to save a step @:-)

Using this today the HOME PAGE is just blank white. Other Delta pages work but home page nothing. Just me?

Sounds like a B&M post... but, I'm not here enough to have such liberty as to point that out so my apology

I haven't seen the new website on my computer yet... Perhaps changing the location to Europe on your main page should work.

Still works on my smartphone FWIW. But could be cookie/location dependent etc just like the site rollout.

I simply site my VPN in Canada or Australia when I know that I am going to use dl.com. That new site comes on for a few seconds but then it just defaults to the old one.

I don't know if that will work if you have not set your browser to clear all history, cookies, and caches each time you sign off but I don't imagine that should make much of a difference.

Works on my phone but not my laptop. Laptop redirects to just www.delta.com and gives a blank screen.

I am currently in the UK. Loading the page gives me the new interface but has me identified as US, likely due to cookies. When I switch at the bottom to UK, I go back to the old page.

Eventually we're all going to have to migrate to the new page, though, so unless I'm in a massive rush (read: trying to SDC), I've started using the new site to try to get used to it.

The app now sends me to the new site when trying to switch to a new flight due to a delay. It's a big mess as the page to search for a new flight is full size and doesn't scale down to the iPhone screen.

I let the cookies stay and as a result, the site identified me as USA even thou I had the VPN set to Toronto. If you allow the cookies, you see the new site.

I had bookmarked the old webpage and it worked flawlessly until - I guess - a few days ago.
Any workaround still left ?

I'm not a fan of the 'new' website either. I can tolerate the itinerary list and the main pages, but I always revert to the old style search results that are in my opinion easier to read and don't have so much wasted space.

The current website design has an excessive amount of white/empty/blank/wasted space and large font that it is difficult to actually scroll and find what you really want. Unfortunately, this seems to be the new norm with website design... have frames/tiles with lots of pictures spread out and a lot of clicks/tabs/nagivation.

I also had a workaround until yesterday when my workaround forwarded to the new awful site. I can now revert back to the old site on my desktop but not on my iPhone. The old substitution of 1 instead of 2 no longer works.
