Problem With Delta Check In

Real World Aviation
#1

I booked a flight on Delta, and had to wait for today to check in and get seat assignments. So, when I went to check in, I proceeded as normal, but somehow it said that my seat would be assigned at the gate, and I was put on the standby list. Has anyone else experienced this before with Delta, and if so do you know how to fix it? Thanks! đŸ›«

I think if you book with delta saver (I’m not sure what its called but its the cheapest option to purchasing a ticket on the delta website) you don’t get a seat assignment until your at the gate.

#3

Yeah, but why was I on the standby list?

#4

Not sure, they wouldn’t give away “your seat” unless you chose the voucher option at check in.

It said I can assign my seat after check-in. It told me that my seat would be assigned at the gate.

Yup, that’s what basic economy is. You don’t get a seat assignment until your at the gate.

Stand by list?

#8

I think that means your not guaranteed on the flight?? And the only reason you wouldn’t is because if you chose to take a voucher if the flight you’re on is fully booked. If not, you should be able to choose your seat at the gate.

I dunno, anyone else know what this is all about? Anyway, on other delta flights I booked basic economy and was able to choose my seats immediately. Did they change it?

Your flight may be oversold and you got the short straw.

#11

Yeah, could be. Thanks for helping, though. Hope it isn’t. 😭

I know for the carrier I work with, if you don’t have a seat number, it means we don’t have one for you. You can always call Delta and ask what’s up.

#13

I called 30-40 min wait time though, so I thought I would ask here.

Delta just replied from the call, so it looks like I have seats. Thanks for helping everyone!

Lots of the major airlines such as British Airways and Virginia have switched t o a new Check in server known as SKY. There are lots of teething problems at the moments which is why you couldn’t log in
