In the event we do make this flight tonight - I just got my 2nd ever complimentary upgrade to 1c and 1d. But probably gonna miss the flight unfortunately.(which is also what happened last time I got an upgrade)

Yep that is the one. Gate agent gave us horrible advice. Should have changed to the later flight. She was confident and dismissive and yet wrong. I feel like I am flying American. Never had an experience like this with delta. Regarding running for next flights. My family is spread out on this flight with my school age kids are sitting on their own. Me and my daughter are little closer to the front and will run for it and hope they hold it for the rest.we won't board til we are all there though.
Ever flight SLC to LAX is sold out tomorrow except one that gets in around midnight.
Edited to add that alternative flights showed in my app! Delta split us up but backed us up on two different flights tomorrow morning. 2 of us on one leaving around 8 am and the other 2 leaving 3 hours later. This is a nice gesture on a frustrating day.

Thanks for the advice so far. This is a cluster! Should I ask to go to another airline or are they all melting down? There is a 1210 flight on jet blue that looks good to me.

Well we missed the connection and delta gave us a hotel voucher. Thought we were all set and woke up to go to airport and my 8 am backup flight is cancelled. The system put me and my daughter on an afternoon flight with a connection in Arizona ( all in first class- maybe to try and make this less painful?). I am on hold for a Delta chat agent. Going to ask to be confirmed on the long beach flight at 11 am. And standby on all the other LAX departures. Not looking good to use our universal Hollywood tickets today. My husband's 11am flight to LAX. Is still on time.

Best of luck, it’s almost over….

Any service provider, human or bot, that tells a customer to "calm down" has lost all respect from me.
I was able to escape the cluster yesterday, even though one of my connecting flights had been canceled the day before. Won't touch the DL system again until next week. Fingers crossed that it'll work out...but I shouldn't have to cross my fingers.

Thank you! Chat agent couldn't help at all for some reason. I went to airport and they put us confirmed on the same direct flight at 1129 that my husband and son are on. Agree that maybe the skywest flight might have been better

Thank you. That helps. We did get backed up for tomorrow. We are split on two different morning flights (I wasn't expecting it it just appeared in my app). That long beach flight that was suggested might allow us to travel together. I didn't realize how close that airport is.

I’m guessing you may be on 1047/1049. At the moment you have a 13 minute connection at SLC and you have 6 gates to walk. This is going to be extremely tight but……. there is a chance you can do it. I’d suggest being one of the very first off the plane and run run like the wind.
Good luck!!!
Good luck!!!

Happen to be on 1 of the 4 Delta flights currently canceled for Monday. At least I had 48 hours notice and somehow managed to keep my complimentary F upgrades on the 2 rebooked segments. Annoying but could be much worse.
