Singapore Reservations Line often can be reached with little to no hold time.
+65-6336-3371

Suggestion to use Skype or Google Voice - both offer rates of 1 cent per minute.


Direct line for SINRES stopped working around November 2021.

For travel within 48 hours, see: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/delta-air-lines-skymiles/2063929-faster-delta-call-back-number-1-855-548-2505-within-48-hours-departure.html

1 (800) 835-9154 is a number that has worked for many members. It is unknown what specifically this line is used for.

This number also stopped working around March 24, 2022.

What is non-virus related and why does it matter.

I need to cancel because I've been quarantined vs. I need to cancel because I broke my leg?

There are other issues aside from cancellations. Think back on all the times you have needed to talk to an agent over the years.

Looks like its working for me know on the West Coast. It was an award ticket and the miles redeposit and refund went off without a hitch.

If it is urgent, I would take care of it at airport.
If less urgent, you have options... wait on phone, wait for call back, use twitter (even twitter was slow yesterday, but got job done)

I booked a flight over the phone this morning because delta.com kept giving an error message.

This afternoon the itinerary is no longer in My Trips. I called and was told it had been voided. Just rebooked it, thankfully same pricing. Hopefully it sticks.

App is also down as I’m watching all the seats open up for my flight to EZE next week. Was able to book a flt to DXB for April last night online.

I broke down today and resorted to a Twitter DM as my flight wasn't for a week and a half. I got a response in a little over two hours.

Seat maps are back in the app, maybe IT issues are resolved?

Got off the phone with the PM line and was told systems are down and cannot help with Skymiles or reservations and to call back later.

DM line was able to call help desk to process my SDC today. Can't book new flights - app and website still down. Maybe DL IT caught corona virus?

Of course there are.

Still the same issue. An agent is an agent is an agent.

Got through to a real agent and rescheduled without even much wait a few minutes ago, so keep trying. (Website kept returning an error message).

Heaven forbid a real world emergency should impact the hold times for a diamond medallion member.

Adding two of my own data points -
  • Seat maps for new bookings seem to be back up on the website. They weren't available about an hour ago.
  • ~30 min. ago, I got an error message trying to check in for tomorrow's flight on the app. That trip now shows me checked in on the website and I was able to get my mobile boarding pass, add a bag, etc., as normal.
As always with Delta, and especially with Delta IT, YMMV
